April 15, 2015  22:57
 Delhi 120-2 (15 ovs) vs Punjab 165-7 | Scorecard

Pacer Dhawan comes back, to replace Johnson, who has bowled three overs for 25 runs.

Yuvraj keen to continue his positive approach as he lofts the first ball over mid-off for a four. He is beaten off the next ball before getting two runs from the fourth ball as Vijay makes a terrific stop at sweeper cover running to his left and putting in the dive at the last moment. Two more singles make it eight runs from the 13th over.

Left-arm spinner Patel comes back, replacing Maxwell, who bowled just one over. Patel does a good job, giving away just five runs to keep up the pressure from his end.

Johnson will bowl out as Punjab look for a wicket to check Delhi's good progress in the last few overs.

The first ball is short and wide as Agarwal steers it past point for a four. The right-hander throws his bat at the next one as Sharma comes in from the deep on the off-side and dives forward to take the catch but fails to hold on as he falls over.

Johnson attempts a short ball which Yuvraj pulls to fine leg for one before Agarwal throws his bat at a wide one but gets an edge which goes fine on the off-side for a four.

Johnson is clearly struggling to find his rhythm. He bowls a leg side wide and then attempts a short one which Agarwal pulls behind square for a six to bring up his fifty, in grand style from 37 balls.

A single from the last ball makes it 18 from the over as Johnson finishes with disappointing figures of 43 runs from four overs.

Delhi are 120 for two in 15 overs, needing 46 from the last five overs for victory.
