Delhi 146-2 (15 ovs) vs RCB 191-5 | SCORECARD


Nair also getting the boundaries from his end as he smashes Wiese over mid-off for a four to get a boundary from the first ball of the new over.

The pacer oversteps to give away a no-ball and de Kock makes most of the free hit, lofting it over square leg for a six. The next ball is short and the left-hander pulls it through the same region for a four to race to 81 from 39 balls, having hit 10 fours and three sixes. Wiese has gone for 20 runs in the over as RCB start to wilt under the pressure.

Senior pro Watson comes back but no stopping de Kock who smashes the third ball of the over, straight back past the bowler for a four.

Delhi are the favourites at this stage and de Kock has single-handedly brought them to this stage. He has smashed his way to 88 from 42 balls, for a strike rate of well over 200.

Nair gets two leg byes from the last ball as Watson goes for 10 runs in his third over.

Delhi are 146 for two in 15 overs, with another 46 needed from five overs for victory. They are slowly running away with the game, having scored 30 runs from the last two overs.
