Delhi 186-8 (20 ovs) vs Kolkata | SCORECARD


You don't bowl length deliveries to Brathwaite in the final overs. Yadav errs with his length as the tall West Indian heaves him over midwicket for a six. He gets an edge off the next ball for a boundary past the wicketkeeper as the runs continue to flow.

Billings looks to sweep the fourth ball but misses a full toss and is bowled after a superb innings of 54 from 34 balls, having hit three fours and two sixes.

The young Rishabh Pant gets off the mark with a single and Brathwaite retains strike with a single from the last ball.

Russell to bowl against his compatriot Brathwaite, who heaves the first ball over midwicket for a six.

He looks to paddle scoop the next but fails to get enough elevation and is caught after a quickfire 34 from 11 balls, having hit three fours and three sixes.

Pant plays an awkward pull shot for two runs before getting a single from the last ball as Shami is run out going for a second.

Delhi, who lost two wickets in the first over, finish on a healthy 186 for eight in their 20 overs.

Their superb recovery was possible due to a splendid partnership of 105 runs from 68 balls between Nair and Billings, both of whom hit half-centuries.
