 Delhi 57-1 (8 ovs) vs Hyderabad | Scorecard

Steyn gets a break after two overs as Praveen comes back. He starts with a leg side wide to Iyer, who then has a wild swing at the next ball but mishits it down the ground over Steyn at mid-on, who does well but fails to stop the four.

Three balls later Iyer gets it off the middle as he lofts it straight down the ground for a six. 12 runs from the over takes Delhi to 40 for one after six overs with Iyer on 26 from 20 balls and Duminy on nine from 13 balls.

English all-rounder Ravi Bopara comes into the attack after an excellent first spell from Bhuvneshwar as he claimed one for six in two overs.

A single from the first ball courtesy of an overthrow before Duminy picks two runs from the next ball as he gets an inside edge with the two batsmen showing good understanding between the wickets.

Bopara trying to mix it up and bowling a lot of back of the hand slower balls as Delhi's batsmen are content to deal in ones and twos as six runs come from the over.

Time for spin as leggie Karn Sharma is introduced. Iyer continues to grow in confidence as he comes down the track and lofts Karn back over his head for a six.

Singles from the rest of the over as Karn goes for 11 in his first as Delhi recover to 57 for one in eight.

Youngster Iyer is looking good on 36 from 26 balls, while Duminy is on 16 from 19 balls.
