Delhi 120-3 (15 ovs) vs Kolkata | SCORECARD


Hogg continues to bowl tight and both Nair and Billings are content to milk him for ones and twos. The veteran Australian, who missed the last match because of a stomach bug, has bowled well to give away 21 runs from three overs.

Delhi are 99 for three in 13 overs and well on course for a total around the 160-run mark, provided one of the two batsmen manage to stay till the end.

Nair continues to look in control as he ramps a short ball from Holder over the keeper for a four as Delhi cross the 100-run mark, in the 14th over.

Nair then takes Narine to the cleaners. He sweeps the first ball of the 15th over for a four through square leg which also brings up his fifty, from 39 balls.

He again sweeps the next ball for another four through the same region and two balls later, he plays the reverse sweep to make it three fours in the over as Narine goes for 14.

Delhi continue to prosper as they reach 120 for three in 15 overs, scoring at exactly eight runs per over.

Nair has hit his way to 59 from 44 balls, while Billings has hit a quick 38 from 28 balls with the duo putting on 88 from 60 balls so far.
