Right then. 196 needed to win and with the batting line-up that Delhi have, you will expect them to give it their all and they will want to start off nicely, with the bat. Punjab will be hoping that this total is enough for them to defend. An interesting run chase is lined up. Join us for the same shortly.

Mayank Agarwal is down for an interview. He starts by saying that he is happy with his performance. Adds that the pitch is good for batting. Mentions that he would have been happy if they would have got 250 after a great start from them.

Delhi were on the back foot at the start and when Agarwal and Rahul were batting, but once this stand was broken, they did well to come back into the game. Even so, the bowlers, apart from Ravichandran Ashwin, were slightly expensive, and that includes Kagiso Rabada too. They will be hoping to bat better than they bowled here.

19.6 overs (1 Run) Slower delivery outside off, Hooda looks to back away and looks to reach that ball but gets a bottom edge on this one. It goes towards short third man for a single. PUNJAB FINISH WITH 195/4!

Even though Punjab could not cross the 200-run mark, they will still be very happy with their batting display. 195 is still a very good score and they will want to back this up, with a good bowling display. The start with the bat was wonderful by Punjab. The two men who Punjab have depended on, for some time now, delivered for them again. None other than birthday boy, KL Rahul, and Mayank Agarwal, as they raised a big stand of 122 runs, which helped set the platform for them. But, once this stand fell, apart from a few good strokes from Rahul, Hooda, Gayle, and Shahrukh, they will not able to find that final push, that could have seen them cross the 200-run mark.

18.4 overs (1 Run) NOT OUT! Impact is umpire's call! Good length delivery on off, Hooda looks to go big but misses it and gets hit on the pads.
