Rashid's double strike leaves Delhi in a mess
October 27, 2020  22:27

Delhi 82-5 (12 ovs) vs SRH 219-2

Rashid continues as things start getting more and more difficult for Delhi Capitals, with the asking rate constantly pushing up with every tight over.

Delhi not looking to take any chances against Rashid as they watchfully play against him, collecting just three singles from his third over.

The asking rate touches the 16-run mark with Delhi needing another 144 for victory from the remaining nine overs.

Iyer has struggled for six from 10 balls, while Pant has also not got going for 16 from 17 balls.

Shankar continues as Iyer pulls the first ball for a single to deep square leg and Pant pulls the next towards fine leg where the fielder puts in the dive to keep it down to just one.

Iyer then tries to slice Shankar over the off-side but is beaten by the change of pace and is caught by Williamson on the off-side to perish for seven, as Delhi slip to 78-5, in the 12th over.

This is the first time in this IPL season that Iyer has fallen for a single digit score.

Pant pulls the fourth ball for a single to deep square leg and Axar Patel picks one on the off-side to get off the mark.

Shankar looks in some discomfort as the physio comes out to attend and he is forced to leave the field.

Skipper Warner will finish off the remaining one delivery for his first bowl in the IPL. He starts with a leg side wide and Pant smashes the next straight back as he dives to his right but is unable to hold on.

Delhi reeling on 82-5 in 12 overs, with another 138 needed from eight overs for victory.
