8.6 : Lalit Yadav to Dawid Malan, Single to end! Full and around middle, flicked through square leg for a single. 8 off the 9th over.
Strategic Time-Out! Delhi will be the happier of the two sides, based on how these first 9 overs have gone by. They have kept the leash on the Punjab batters and Agarwal and Malan have not found their groove so far. They will need to accelerate and will look to do so in the coming overs. Pant will want his bowlers to keep taking wickets on the regular, and push Punjab on the back foot. 
Review time! Axar and Pant were very confident that this would be out and hence, they have gone for the review. This is an appeal for LBW. Ultra Edge shows a flat line. The wickets are deemed to be Umpire's call and Delhi retain their review. 
9.1 : Axar Patel to Dawid Malan, NOT OUT! Umpire's call on hitting the wickets. This is floated around middle and leg, Malan looks to work it on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pad. A big appeal follows but it is turned down. Axar is confident and Pant goes for the review. Time for the replays! Ultra Edge shows no bat. Ball Tracker shows it to be umpire's call on hitting the wickets. Malan stays.
9.2 : Axar Patel to Mayank Agarwal, Full and outside off, driven to the cover reigon where Hetmyer dives and stops.
9.3 : Axar Patel to Mayank Agarwal, On middle, hit down to deep mid-wicket for a single.

9.5 : Axar Patel to Dawid Malan, Punched nicely again but he finds the cover fielder once again.
9.6 : Axar Patel to Dawid Malan, Flat and around off, Malan makes room and he cuts but once again finds fielder. This time it goes to point. Just 2 from the over.
10.1 : Avesh Khan to Mayank Agarwal, Short and just outside off, punched to point.
0.0 : Change. Avesh Khan will bowl his second over now. 1-0-11-0 so far. 
10.2 : Avesh Khan to Mayank Agarwal, Shortish and around off, Agarwal pulls this one over square leg for a single. 
10.3 : Avesh Khan to Dawid Malan, Punches this one nicely but only finds the cover fielder.

10.6 : Avesh Khan to Mayank Agarwal, Just 2 runs from the over! Avesh continues to display his growth. A yorker on off, Mayank digs this one out to the off side, but the batters are not able to cross.

11.2 : Ishant Sharma to Dawid Malan, SIX! There comes the release shot from Malan. He has struggled to time the ball tonight but he has timed this one with perfection. A length ball, around off, Dawid Malan nonchalantly lofts this one over the cover region for a biggie. 
11.3 : Ishant Sharma to Dawid Malan, A back of a length delivery around off, Dawid taps this one to point for a quick single. 
11.4 : Ishant Sharma to Mayank Agarwal, That's a good yorker, just at the base of the off pole. Agarwal jams this one out to covers for a single. 
11.5 : Ishant Sharma to Dawid Malan, FOUR! A poor ball and Malan does not miss out. He is finding some boundaries now. A short ball, but on the body. Dawid Malan just have to swivel and pulls this one to the fine leg fence. 
11.6 : Ishant Sharma to Dawid Malan, Nice and full around off, Malan pushes this to long off for a single. An expensive one for Delhi. 13 off it. 
12.1 : Lalit Yadav to Dawid Malan, A full toss on middle, Malan milks this to long off for one. Malan missed out there. 
12.2 : Lalit Yadav to Mayank Agarwal, Shorter and on leg, Agarwal gets low and pulls this one to deep square leg. Gives the strike back to Malan.

13.1 : Deepak Hooda joins skipper Mayank Agarwal in the middle.
Axar Patel to Dawid Malan, OUT! TIMBER! The leg stump goes to take a walk and Patel gets a wicket here. Malan goes back for 26, and he has not really fired as much as Punjab would have wanted. This is bowled around middle and leg, Dawid Malan goes on his knees and looks for the slog sweep. He misses though and the next thing he hears is the rattling of the stumps. 
13.2 : Axar Patel to Deepak Hooda, Quicker and on leg, Hooda knocks this one towards deep mid-wicket for a single. 
13.3 : Shahrukh Khan is in next.
Axar Patel to Mayank Agarwal, RUN OUT! Confusion, confusion, and that means that Punjab loses another wicket. Hooda is the man who has to head back and Punjab are slipping here. This is bowled shorter and on middle, Agarwal moves leg side and pushes this to the cover region. Mayank wants the single but Hooda hesitates. Hetmyer does really well to run to his right, dives, and picks up the ball. Releases the ball to Axar at the non-striker's end. Both the batters are at the non-striker's en
13.4 : Axar Patel to Mayank Agarwal, On off, pushed to the cover region. 
13.5 : Axar Patel to Mayank Agarwal, Outside off, slapped away through point for a brace. Good running! 
13.2 : Run out? Both the batters were almost at one end. The confusion is about who is gone now. Patel took the bails off at the non-striker's end as both the batters tried to get in. Patel gave the ball to the keeper and he took the bails off as well. Replay show Hooda is gone as he failed to make the crease at the non-striker's end.
13.6 : Axar Patel to Mayank Agarwal, On off, the punch away only finds the cover fielder now. 
Strategic Time Out! Delhi in complete control after this 2-wicket over. Punjab need a big flourish in the remaining overs if they are to challenge this strong Delhi batting lineup. Skipper Agarwal is going to be the key for Punjab. If Delhi can get rid of him, they can stop Punjab to a low score.
Bowling change! Kagiso Rabada is back on. 2-0-13-2 from him so far.
14.1 : Kagiso Rabada to Shahrukh Khan, A length ball around off, Khan looks to defend but the ball takes the outer half of the blade and goes to third man for a single.

14.5 : Kagiso Rabada to Mayank Agarwal, SIX! Good shot! Mayank needs some more of these. A shortish length ball around off, Mayank Agarwal pulls this one hard and over the deep mid-wicket region for a biggie. 100 up for Punjab too! 
14.6 : Kagiso Rabada to Mayank Agarwal, Single to end! A length ball around off, pushed to covers for a quick single. 12 off the over. 
Bowling change! Ishant Sharma to bowl out.
15.1 : Ishant Sharma to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Easy pickings for Agarwal and the skipper gets to his fifty too! His 9th in the League, and his second this year. He will look to stay out there and push Punjab past the 160-run mark. A full toss on leg, this is pulled through short fine leg for a boundary.

15.3 : Ishant Sharma to Shahrukh Khan, Good length ball around off, this is punched through covers for one.

15.5 : Ishant Sharma to Mayank Agarwal, DROPPED! Lalit Yadav is a good fielder and his effort is a good one, but he fails to hold on. A good length ball around off, Mayank Agarwal looks to slam this one over covers, but the ball takes the outer half of the blade and lobs up behind point. Yadav runs behind, puts in the dive, but fails to hold on. A couple. 
15.6 : Ishant Sharma to Mayank Agarwal, Length around off, slapped through covers for a single. 15 off the over.

18.6 : Harpreet Brar is in now.
34 from the last 2 overs and Punjab have got the momentum on their side. What a superb innings from the stand-in skipper. It is unfortunate that he is stranded to 99 but he has taken his side to a very good total here.
Punjab didn't start well as Singh departed cheaply. Gayle walked in, played a couple of big shots before getting dismissed. Agarwal, the stand-in skipper stayed and along with Malan he gave the side some stability but the duo struggled to score freely. Malan was eventually removed and Hooda, the man in form was run out in the same over. Skipper Agarwal continued and reached his half-century. He hit a few boundaries after reaching his half ton. Towards the end, he went bang, bang. Mayank has scor
The bowling from Delhi was really good they would have looked to finish things off well! They didn't allow the Punjab batters to free their arms. They managed two wickets in the Powerplay and set the tone nicely. The spinners kept the batters silent in the middle overs. Ishant went for a few but others bowled tightly. Patel gave just 21 in his 4 overs and got a wicket too. Rabada too was hit for a few but he got 3 wickets to go with it. Avesh Khan was once again really good and he finished with
Axar Patel is in for a chat! He says that the ball is holding a bit on the surface and you have to vary your pace. Adds that he is happy with his bowling and his first two matches, he was out of his mojo but he has come back nicely in the past 2 games. Opines that after the 15th over, there was some dew and the ball was skidding and it won't be easy to bowl. 
Right! Punjab have managed a decent score here with the skipper's superb performance. However, the total is still a good one if they can strike early. But will they be able to do so? Shaw and Dhawan are in supreme form. We are in for a cracking run chase. It begins shortly.
Kagiso Rabada to Chris Jordan, OUT! TAKEN! A comfortable catch for Yadav and KG gets another wicket. This is the cross seam ball around off and middle, Chris Jordan looks to whack this one to the leg side but the ball takes the top edge. Goes high in the air towards deep square leg, where Lalit Yadav comes ahead and has an easy catch. 
19.1 : Avesh Khan to Harpreet Brar, FOUR! Brar starts off the last over in fine fashion. A length delivery around off, in the arc and Harpreet Brar smacks this one down the ground, for a boundary. 
19.2 : Avesh Khan to Harpreet Brar, WIDE! Slower length ball outside off, Brar looks to push this one away, but he misses. The batters take a single. So, two wides at the end. 
Avesh Khan to Mayank Agarwal, Good length on off, MA punches this one to long off for a single. Smith does well in the deep to collect the ball quick and release it back to Khan. 
19.3 : Avesh Khan to Harpreet Brar, WIDE. This is again slower and way outside the off pole, Wide signalled. 
Avesh Khan to Harpreet Brar, Leg bye. A back of a length on middle, Brar looks to pull but he misses and gets hit on the body. The batters take the leg bye. 
19.4 : Avesh Khan to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Agarwal wanted the strike and now you know why! A full toss on middle, Mayank Agarwal hammers this one through mid-wicket. The ball runs away in a flash. Two more balls, can Agarwal hit two biggies?
19.5 : Avesh Khan to Mayank Agarwal, SIX! Agarwal moves to 95 and Punjab have crossed the 160-run mark. A good length ball around off, Mayank Agarwal clears his front foot and cracks this one over the long on region. 
19.6 : Avesh Khan to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Agarwal is stranded on 99 but he has finished the Punjab innings on a high! A good length on off, Mayank Agarwal slams this one over the bowler's head, for a boundary. PUNJAB FINISH ON 166/6!Â
