Punjab 97-2 (9 ovs) vs Delhi 166-7 | Scorecard


Morris overpitches as Karun Nair clips it through midwicket for a four to get off the mark in some style.

Yuvraj then gets a thick outside edge which flies fine on the off-side for another four.

Punjab reach 73 for two in six overs courtesy of Rahul's blazing knock at the start.

Nair ensuring Punjab don't lose the momentum as he lofts Boult straight down the ground for a six over long-off.

Medium pacer Dan Christian comes into the attack. He makes a tidy start, giving away just three singles in his first over with Yuvraj struggling to keep the runs coming, having scored just 11 from 19 balls.

Shami comes back into the attack. Nair is playing in the same tempo as his Karnataka team mate Rahul earlier on. He drives Shami on either side of the wicket as the pacer errs with his length for boundaries before a late cut makes it a hat-trick of fours.

Punjab in control on 97 for two in nine overs with Nair on 27 from 13 balls, and Yuvraj content to play second fiddle on 12 from 20 balls. They need another 70 runs from 11 overs for victory at just over six runs per over.
