Chasing a mammoth total of 196, Delhi achieved it in the final over with two wickets to spare and two balls remaining.

It was the second occasion in the tournament when Delhi defeated Gujarat chasing a big total and a batsman scoring in 90s to take his team home.

Earlier, Aaron Finch's flashy half century helped Gujarat Lions recover from the early jolts and post a mammoth 195/5 against Delhi.

Finch scored a 39-ball 69, laced with six fours and four sixes to raise a 92-run fourth wicket stand with wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik (40) to help the Lions recover from a precarious position after losing the early wickets of opener Dwayne Smith (8), Suresh Raina (6) and Ishan Kishan (34).
