Punjab 126-3 (14 ovs) vs Delhi 166-7 | Scorecard


After being hit for 24 runs in his first over, Mishra comes back. And he starts with a poor delivery, a full delivery way down the leg side which Nair helps fine for a four to take Punjab past the 100-run mark, in the 11th over.

In the next over, Tewatia bowls a loose delivery, short and wide which Miller hammers through the covers for a four.

Punjab are looking comfortable on 115 for three, needing another 52 runs from eight overs for victory with seven wickets in hand.

Both Nair and Miller looking to play sensibly and not lose any wickets in the next few overs. With the runs coming easily, through ones and twos against the spinners, they are not forced to take any undue risks.

The experienced Mishra has proved to be expensive, giving away 40 runs from his three overs, while Tewatia has picked up one for eight in his two overs.

Delhi need a few quick wickets to bring themselves back into the contest or else Punjab could easily chase down this total.

Five singles from Tewatia's third over takes Punjab's total to 126 for three in 14 overs, needing another 41 runs from six overs for victory.

Karun has played well to keep Punjab going in the middle overs, stroking 43 from 27 balls, while Miller has made 13 from 14 balls.
