Delhi 157-8 (20 ovs) vs Punjab

Pacer Jordan is called back into the attack.

Stoinis swings the first ball over the midwicket fence for a six. He then goes for another big swing but gets a thick inside edge which goes past short fine leg for a four before taking a single to long-on.

Ashwin throws hit bat at a wide delivery but misses before he comes down the track and misses out again.

Ashwin somehow gets his bat to the last ball as he carves it over the fielder at mid-off for a couple of runs.

Left-arm pacer Cottrell is back into the attack. The first ball is full and wide as Stoinis drills it through the covers for a four and then shuffles inside the line and nudges the next ball over short fine leg for a four.

Cottrell then bowls a wide outside the off-stump before Stoinis cuts it behind point for the third four of the over.

Cottrell makes up for it as he gets the wicket of Ashwin, who chips it straight to the fielder at thirdman off the last ball to perish for four.

Cottrell finishes with 2-24 in four over as Delhi are reduced to 127-7 in 19 overs.

Jordan to bowl the final over.

Stoinis clubs the first ball over the leg side for a six before he walks across the stumps and misses one down the leg side which is ruled a wide.

Stoinis then throws his bat at a wide delivery as he gets a thick outside edge for a four before he clips a full delivery off his pads for a four through square leg.

Stoinis on fire as he crashes another full delivery through the covers for the third four in succession before he despatches the fifth ball over square leg for a six to race to his fifty, from just 20 balls.

He is run out off the last ball going for the second run but Jordan has overstepped as Delhi get a free hit off the final delivery.

Stoinis walks back after a stunning innings of 53 from 21 balls, having hit three sixes and seven fours.

Anrich Nortje gets three runs off the final delivery as Delhi stage a remarkable recovery to post 157 for eight in 20 overs.

Stoinis was instrumental in Delhi's amazing recovery with his whirlwind innings of 53 from 21 balls, as Jordan went for 20 runs in the final over.
