Delhi 78-2 (10 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard
Off-spinner Moeen Ali comes into the attack. And he makes a good start with the ball, giving away four runs, including a wide.
Pacer Mohammed Siraj comes into the attack. He makes the mistake of dropping short to the in-form Pant, who pulls it over midwicket for a six.
The next ball is pitched right up as Pant hammers it straight down the ground for another maximum and then takes one as Siraj goes for 14 in his first over.
Off-spinner Moeen bowls another good over, conceding just four runs, the same as the first to keep things tight from his end.
Medium pacer Colin de Grandhomme comes into the attack. The first ball is wide as Iyer steers it through the thirdman region for a four. He mishits the next ball but it falls short of the fielder at deep midwicket and two balls later he miscues it on the off-side but a misunderstanding between Kohli and AB de Villiers sees the chance go waste, with the latter nearly getting under the ball before withdrawing at the last minute anticipating a collision.
Iyer again guides the last ball fine on the off-side for the second four of the over.
Delhi have recovered to 78 for two in 10 overs with Pant on 35 from 21 balls and Iyer on 25 from 26 balls.
