Delhi 88-3 (14 ovs) vs Hyderabad 162-4

Abhishek to bowl his fourth and final over.

Three singles from the first three balls before the spinner puts down a tough chance off his own bowling. Pant had smashed it straight back to the bowlers, who gots his hands to it but was unable to hold on.

Pant, on eight, makes most of the reprieve as he slogs the very next ball over midwicket for a six.

He then chips down the track and lofts the last ball for a huge six over long-off.

15 runs from the over as Delhi reach 78-3 in 13 overs, as the run rate finally touches the six per over mark.

Abhishek finishes with 34 runs from his four overs, having done a tidy job as the fifth bowler.

Left-arm pacer T Natarajan comes back into the attack.

Hetmyer picks a single off the first ball before Pant flicks a full toss off his pads through fine leg for a four as the left-hander looks to counter-attack and get Delhi back into the hunt.

Natarajan looks to make up for the error as he follows it up with two yorkers in a row, restricing the two batsmen to singles before he tries the short ball to Pant but it goes down the leg side and is called a wide.

A full wide delivery as Pant drives it to sweeper cover for a single and Hetmyer digs out another yorker for another run, as 10 come from the over.

Delhi are 88-3 in 14 overs, needing 75 from six overs for victory.
