Dolphins responded with a seemingly strong attack from captain Morne van Wky (17), Cameron Delport (34), Cody Chetty (37) and Vaughn van Jaarsveld (30) but were unable to sustain the required runs and kept falling at regular intervals. Sharma was the highest wicket taker with three wickets while Nehra and Bravo took two wickets each to restrict the Dolphins to 188 runs.
