On a big scale, no other players were able to accrue runs in the middle order. kolkata was set a 136-run target to win the innings. venkatesh Iyer and Chapman Gill, the best openers, put on a 96-run partnership for the first wicket. kolkata, however, faltered after the 16th over, losing three wickets in a row. When only 13 runs were needed to win, the wickets fell. All of the delhi team's great bowlers threw and controlled the runs, especially in the 17th, 18th, and 19th overs. Although the thrill was won, Ravichandran Aswin bowled out the game in the final over.

In the fourth over, sunil Narine needed six runs off two balls. kolkata won the game when Tripathi smashed a six off the fifth ball.
On a small venue like Sharjah, as the target was tiny, rishabh pant took advantage of all the top bowlers in advance. As a result, Ashwin was left with no option but to bowl the final over. When the spinners bowl the last over, it is always in the batsmen's favour. As a result, the supporters are blaming him for having to keep any fast bowler on the field for the final over.
