Pant fails with the bat but Delhi in control

April 20, 2019 23:29

Delhi 136-3 (16 ovs) vs Punjab 163-7 | Scorecard

Pacer Curran is back into the attack. The first ball is a wide down the leg side to Rishabh Pant, who inside edges the next back on to his pads. He then punches a wide delivery but can't find the gap through the covers.

Curran tries the slower bouncer which goes down the leg side as Pant waits for it and pulls it fine, beating Gayle inside the circle, who is unable to get down in time and concedes a boundary.

A single to Pant in the covers before Iyer carves the last ball over point for another four to get 10 from the over.

The asking rate is just over seven yet Pant shows little common sense. He slog sweeps Viljoen on the leg side, attempting the big hit, but only manages to sky it high on the leg side to be caught at deep square leg for six.

A disappointing shot from Pant as he walks back after scoring just six, to give Kings XI a glimmer of hope.

A leg side wide from Viljoen before new batsman Colin Ingram pulls a short ball over midwicket for a four.

Delhi are 136 for three in 16 overs, needing 28 from four overs for victory.
