Rashid bowled a spell of 4-0-19-3 to keep Gujarat Lions under check. His three scalps included Brendon McCullum, skipper Suresh Raina, and Aaron finch. All the three batsmen fell in the same fashion in form of LBW, which shows that they failed to read the change that Rashid made whilst bowling.

They had a poor start as they lost three wickets for a score of 42, which included like of Jason Roy, who was the only batsman to score runs at the top.

Smith was the top scorer for them with an innings of 37 whereas Dinesh Karthik too played an innings of 30 in conditions that favoured spinners.
