Dot ball. APPEAL! Ajay Kumar to Tim David. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed for no runs, fielded by Pooran, appeal made for Caught. What an exciting match! Deccan Gladiators get the perfect start to the defence of their title as they close out a narrow victory over UAE Bulls by just six runs. The Bulls chase looked to be floundering as they lost regular wickets, finding themselves five down in the sixth over, with Rovman Powell the only man to make an impression. However Tim David almost single handedly kept them alive with an extraordinary innings of 59, facing every one of the last 26 deliveries, but the task proved just beyond him. Luke Wood was the standout bowler with two early wickets, whilst a special mention also goes to Ajay Kumar, who bowled the final over under immense pressure. Tom Kohler-Cadmore is the Player of the Match.
