Delhi 99-5 (14 ovs) vs KKR 194-6

Narine comes back into the attack as Iyer laps the first ball fine on the leg side for three runs.

Hetmyer then tries to loft his West Indian teammate down the ground but can only get a single to long-off before Iyer picks two runs wide of long-on.

A single to Iyer before Hetmyer hits it powerfully down the ground and manages to clear the fielder at long-on for a six, to get 13 runs from the 13th over.

In the next over, Chakravarthy puts down a tough catch off his own bowling as Iyer skies it high off the leading edge. The spinner runs back towards his left but is unable to judge the catch cleanly and puts down the chance.

But he strikes next ball with the wicket of Hetmyer, who looks to loft it down the ground but is caught by Tripathi on the edge of the long-on fence, who does well to hold on to the catch just inches inside the boundary skirting.

Chakravarthy then picks another wicket off the very next ball as Iyer looks to smash it down the ground but is caught by Nagarkoti at long-on after scoring 47 from 38 balls.

Two wickets in two balls as Delhi are reduced to 95-5, in the 14th over, with the match slipping away from their grasp.

Marcus Stoinis avoids the hat-trick as he drives a full delivery down to long-off for a single before Chakravarathy bowls a leg side wide to Axar Patel.

The left-hander gets off the mark with a single to point and Stoinis picks one to long-on.

Delhi are struggling on 99-5 in 14 overs, with Chakravarathy taking 3-10 in two overs. They need another 96 runs from six overs for victory at an asking rate of 16.
