DD vs KXIP Live Cricket Score

4.3 OUT! Gone! Plunkett strikes in his first over! Excellent bowling change by Gautam Gambhir. It was the slower bouncer on middle, Rahul once again tries to help it on its way but this time he gets a top edge. It lobs towards short fine leg. For a second Khan there seems to have misjudged it but he does really well to dive forward and take it inches above the ground. A very good catch in the end and the free-flowing innings of Rahul comes to an end. Timely wicket for Delhi as this partnership was looking dangerous. 42/2

1.3 OUT! Avesh Khan makes an impact in his first over of his first game this year. Finch has been done in by the pace here. Another short ball on middle, Finch rocks back and goes for the pull. The ball hurries onto him and he gets no timing on it. It once again hits the upper portion of the bat and lobs towards Iyer at covers who accepts a dolly. So Finch's poor patch continues and an early wicket for Delhi. They needed this start. 6/1

7.3 OUT! TIMBER! What an impact Plunkett is making here in his first game. He gets his second in his second over. This one is on a length around off. Agarwal goes for the pull shot but the ball is not that short to play at it. It sneaks under his bat. Brushes the pad and knocks the off stump out. Plunkett is all pumped up and Punjab are in a spot of bother now. 60/3

16.1 OUT! Plunkett is on fire this evening. Bags his third of the evening. Absolutely wonderful bowling effort. Fuller on off, Nair lofts it over wide mid on, looking to clear the rope. He doesn't get enough on it, as Iyer out in the deep moves to his right and takes a good catch. Had to cover a lot of ground, but did well in the end to take it. Punjab fall deeper. 116/5

12.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Khan strikes back! Once again he bowls it on a shorter length on middle, Yuvraj goes for the pull but gets a bottom edge which goes into the mitts of Pant. He takes it and appeals and the umpire raises his finger. So Yuvraj's fidgety innings comes to an end. 85/4

17.3 OUT! This time it has been taken! Plunkett takes the catch and Christian gets the dangerous Miller. So to Gambhir's relief, Miller has not made a lot of the reprieves. This one is a slower one on off, Miller slaps it over covers. He has hit it really well but Delhi have a man there in the deep. It goes straight but low towards him. Liam there takes it just above the ground. Delhi will now look to restrict Punjab below 150. 127/6

19.1 OUT! Another one bites the dust! This one is full and outside off. Ashwin opens the face of the bat and tries to go over point. He does not get the elevation and it's into the hands of Tewatia who takes it. 140/7

20 OUT! DRAGGED ON! So a wicket from the last ball. Just 4 from the last over and a wicket. This is full and outside off. Tye tries to clear the leg side boundary but gets an inside edge onto his stumps to give Boult his second. PUNJAB FINISH ON 143/8! 143/8

2.3 OUT! Clean bowled! Got Delhi off to a positive start, but departs now. Length ball from Rajpoot, Shaw looks to whack it across the line, probably over mid-wicket. Misses the ball altogether and has his off stump taken for a ride. End of a good little knock from the opener, Punjab have their first breakthrough. 25/1

5.3 OUT! Punjab get three in the Powerplay. It is the Delhi skipper who has to take the long walk back. Once again the slowness of the surface is quite visible there. Tye bowls a slower one on middle, Gambhir looks to turn it away on the leg side but closes the face of the bat early. He gets a leading edge which lobs up towards mid off where Finch takes a very simple catch. Punjab are right back into this now. 42/3

4.5 OUT!! The Big Show is walking back. One shot too many I suppose. It is the slower one which does the trick. On the shorter side outside off. Maxwell winds up and goes for the pull. He, however, gets a top edge which goes high up in the air towards deep square leg. Tye there settles himself under it and takes it with a reverse cup. 103 more needed. 41/2

20 OUT! Iyer departs! Heartbreak for the young man. He tries to clear long off after going deep in his crease. Slaps it over extra cover and Finch out in the deep moves to his left and takes it comfortably. PUNJAB WIN BY 4 RUNS! 139/8

8.1 OUT! Mujeeb, you beauty. Wicket on his very first ball of the night. The boy never ceases to amaze. He's got rid of the dangerous Rishabh Pant quickly. Comes from around the wicket and drifts it in on off, the southpaw is forward to defend, keeps a big gap between bat and pad as the ball goes right through the gate to shatter the timber. Delhi in trouble here. 61/4

12 OUT! Christian is gone! Ashwin knew instantly he got his man. Iyer works this through mid-wicket with a whip. The batsmen come back for the second and there is a good throw from Agarwal at the bowler's end. Ashwin takes the bails off and celebrates. it's taken upstairs and replays show why. Christian is short of his crease, so Punjab have another wicket. 76/5

18 OUT! Tye finishes it off with a wicket and figures of 4-0-25-2. Breaks a vital partnership of 47. Fuller and slower outside off, Tewatia gets low to slog sweep and gets a feather behind which Rahul takes with ease. Delhi need 21 to win off 12 balls. 123/6

18.2 OUT! Plan working so far. 20 required from 10. Sran doing quite well here. Plunkett skips down the track and lofts this over the infield over square leg. Doesn't get the distance on it and it's taken by Karun Nair out in the deep after moving to his right. 124/7
