|
13.5 OUT! Watson is out of here! Once again it is the bowling change which does the trick. This is brave bowling by the leggie. He tosses this one up outside off, it is the googly. Watson tries to clear long off but hits it flat towards there. Plunkett goes low and makes no mistake. Misses out on a potential hundred, but it's the end of a brilliant knock by Watson as he walks off to a standing ovation. 130/3

| Faf du Plessis | 33 | 33 | 3 | 1 | 100 |
|
10.5 OUT! Faf holes out! He never got going out there and departs in an attempt to clear the long off fence. Shankar gets the much-needed breakthrough as he breaks 102-run stand. This is once again full and outside off. Faf du Plessis tries to go downtown but it does not go off the middle. It lobs towards Boult there who takes an easy catch. Delhi will now look to build on this. 102/1

| Suresh Raina | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
|
11.1 OUT! TIMBER! The bowling change has worked wonders. Two wickets in two overs for Delhi. This is tossed up on off. Raina goes for the slog sweep but misses it completely to see the furniture behind him get disturbed. Raina walks back early and Delhi fighting back now. 103/2

| Ambati Rayudu | 41 | 24 | 5 | 1 | 170.83 |
|
19.5 OUT! Rayudu has been run out! A good change in length by Boult he bowls it short and on the body. Dhoni goes for the pull but the ball brushes his gloves and goes towards the keeper who dives to his left but drops it. Rayudu wants a run and almost completes it but Dhoni says go back as he wants to keep strike for the last ball. Rayudu turns and runs towards the non-striker's end. Pant in the meantime throws the ball to Boult who does not miss as he hits bull's eye at his end. End of another useful knock by him but once again he has been run out. 209/4

|
1.4 OUT! Asif has the last laugh! A shot too many by Shaw! This one is short again on off, Shaw tries to play the pull shot but the ball hurries onto him. It takes the top edge and lobs towards Jadeja at mid on who takes a couple of steps back and pouches it. An early wicket for Chennai and this is something Delhi did not need. The free-flowing Shaw makes his way back cheaply this time. 10/1

| Colin Munro | 26 | 16 | 3 | 2 | 162.5 |
|
5 OUT! In the air... taken! Once again Asif has the last laugh. He has gone for two boundaries and a biggie on the last three balls but strikes back with his second wicket. It is the shorter ball this time and it is on the body. Munro goes for the pull but only manages to get a top edge. It goes high up in the air towards deep square leg where Karn Sharma takes a good catch. The dangerous Munro departs and Delhi in trouble here. They need 166 from 90. 46/2

| Shreyas Iyer C | 13 | 14 | 1 | 0 | 92.85 |
|
7 OUT! Huge misunderstanding and that brings about a run out. This is surely not what Delhi wanted at this stage. Slower through the air on off, Iyer taps it towards covers. He wants a run and sets off for it. He hesitates for a second but eventually goes for it. Pant though first obliges but then due to the hesitation pulls out. Iyer was at a point where there was no return. Watson picks the ball up and throws it to the keeper who collects it and takes the bails off. The in-form Iyer is walking back and the chase now looks very difficult. 64/3

| Rishabh Pant Wk | 79 | 45 | 7 | 4 | 175.55 |
|
17.4 OUT! Game, set and match! You have to say. Pant was the last hope and he has fallen. Nevertheless, he has fought like a warrior but it was always going to be a tough task. Short and outside off by Ngidi, Pant throws his bat at it but gets a top edge which flies towards sweeper cover. Jadeja there settles under it and takes it easily. 162/5

| Glenn Maxwell | 6 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 120 |
|
8.5 OUT! Bowled 'em! Once again a wicket falls after a boundary is hit. Jadeja fires it on the leg stump. This goes on with the arm. Maxwell once again tries to go big but misses to see the ball hit the top of leg stump. Another failure for Maxwell and now the hole deepens for the visitors. 138 more needed in 67. 74/4
