He starts with a wide outside the off-stump to Hetmyer before the left-hander carves the slower bouncer over the covers for two runs and then keeps out a yorker.

Khaleel goes for the yorker but ends up bowling a full toss which Hetmyer smashes over midwicket for a six. The next ball is short and wide as Hetmyer crashes it over the covers for another six before Khaleel finally gets the yorker right for just one.

He follows it up with another good yorker as Pant gets a thick inside edge for a dot ball.

16 runs from the over as Delhi reach 104-3 in 15 overs, with 59 needed from five overs for victory.

The experienced Bhuvneshwar, who has two overs in hand, is called back at a crucial juncture.

He bowls it wide and also slow downs the pace as Hetmyer throws his bat at it and ends up slicing it high to be caught by Pandey at long-off after scoring 21 from 12 balls.

Pant gets a single to long-off before new batsman Marcus Stoinis smashes a short wide delivery through point for a four to get off the mark in smashing fashion off the first ball he faces and then is hit on the arm as he picks a leg bye.

Pant then tries the reverse against Bhuvneshwar but is deceived completely by the change of pace before the left-hander blasts the last ball over the covers for a four.

Delhi are still in the hunt on 114-4 in 16 overs, with 49 needed from 4 overs for victory.

Pant, who is batting on 27 from 25 balls, is crucial to their hopes along with the big-hitting Stoinis.
