Delhi 130-4 (17 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard

Delhi will need a special knock from Glenn Maxwell but it won't be easy for him at the start of his innings on this difficult track.

Maxwell blocks a slightly short ball from Siraj as Pant calls him for a quick run and they pocked another extra run courtesy of an overthrow.

Pant misses out on a full toss as he hits it to the fielder at midwicket before he is hit on the pads by trying to swing Siraj across the line.

RCB take the review but the ball has pitched outside the line of the leg stump as the TV umpire sticks with the on-field umpire's decision.

Just five runs from the over as Delhi reach 103 for three in 15 overs.

Chahal, who has two overs in hand, comes back. He claims the vital wicket of Glenn Maxwell, who plays the reverse sweep but is caught at short thirdman for four.

But Pant continues his aggressive approach as he blasts the next ball straight down the ground for a six as Chahal gives it generous flight.

He plays an astonishing reverse sweep off the next ball, hitting the quicker delivery over the thirdman fence for another six.

Woakes comes back as Rahul Tewatia edges the first ball which goes fine for a four. Three balls later he looks to play the lofted shot and just about clears the fielder at mid-off for another four. He drives the next ball as it falls just short of the cover fielder as they get a single.

Pant hits the last ball for a four behind square on the leg side to bring up his fifty from 34 balls.
