Delhi 54-2 (7 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard

Just the fourth over of the innings and we already have the third spinner coming into the attack in the form of left-arm spinner Axar Patel.

Gambhir keen to break the shackles takes on Axar rightaway as he lofts the second ball over the covers for a four. The next ball is swept square on the leg side for another four before he makes room and plays the inside out lofted shot for a six.

Two more singles as Delhi get 17 runs from Axar's first over to release some early pressure.

Rahman continues as Delhi have a close shave. Iyer taps the second ball to point and Gambhir sprints across for a quick single, making his crease just in time.

Gambhir goes after Rahman as he plays the inside out shot yet again for another four and then gets two runs from the next ball, playing the sweep shot. A single off the next ball sees the Delhi captain race to 29 from 17 balls.

Iyer is struggling to pick Rahman's variations and he is hit on the backpad trying to play it across the line on the leg side. The umpire turns down the confident appeal and Punjab decide to take the DRS. The ball is clipping the top of the bails which means the decision stays with the umpire's call and Iyer survives.

Pacer Andrew Tye is introduced, to bowl the sixth over of the innings. He makes a good start with three dot balls to Gambhir before the Delhi pulls a short ball on  the leg side to get a much-needed boundary.

Punjab have managed to keep Delhi in check in the Powerplay as the visitors reach 45 for one in six overs with Gambhir on 34 from 22 balls and Iyer on four.

Axar getting some rough treatment. After an expensive first over, Axar comes under attack from Iyer, who lofts him back over his head for a six.

However, Axar has the last laugh as Iyer is caught behind for 11. He gets an edge and wicketkeeper Rahul does well to take a sharp catch behind the stumps.
