14.6 overs (0 Run) Good response from Shami. A superb yorker on middle, it is pushed to cover by Pant. 28 more needed in 30 balls.
14.5 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Whipped and it goes all the way! Fuller and angled in, Pant picks it up and flicks it over deep square leg for a biggie. Too easy.

13.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Take that! Dhawan wants to finish things off quickly here. Another full ball around middle, Dhawan sweeps it wide of the deep mid-wicket fielder. A boundary.
13.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! SHOT! FIFTY FOR DHAWAN! His amazing run this season continues. Full and around middle, Dhawan nails the sweep. There is a shout for the catch but nobody will as it sails well over the fielder at deep mid-wicket.
Who will replace Smith in the middle? It is the skipper, Rishabh Pant.
Strategic Time Out! A wicket for Punjab but Delhi are going along nicely. Just 56 needed now and with set Dhawan in the middle, this should not be an issue for Delhi unless there is a big collapse. Can Punjab do that? Which bowler can do the magic for them? We will have all the answers soon.
12.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! TAKEN! Punjab really needed a wicket and Meredith has provided the same to them here. Smith was looking good and was looking to amp it up, but he holes out in that process. This is a length delivery, around off and middle, Steven Smith looks to whack this one to the leg side and looks to clear the fence, but his shot has more height than distance. Goes high up in the Ahmedabad night sky and towards deep mid-wicket, where Dawid Malan keeps his eye on the ball and takes a good catch. 56 more needed in 42 balls.
12.5 overs (1 Run) Good length ball, but this time on leg, Dhawan tickles this one to fine leg for a single.
12.4 overs (1 Run) Leg bye. A slower short ball on middle, Smith looks to pull this one but misses and the ball takes the body and goes to the leg side. A leg bye is sneaked in.
12.3 overs (0 Run) A pacy length delivery outside off, 145 clicks, Smith only pushes the ball to the fielder at mid off.
12.2 overs (1 Run) Good length ball on off, Dhawan drops this to covers for one.
12.1 overs (2 Runs) This is digged short and it is around off, Dhawan pulls this one hard through mid-wicket. Run hard to come back for the second.
11.6 overs (1 Run) Bowls a flatter ball around off, Shikhar pulls this to deep mid-wicket. Another single to end the over. 10 off the over. 61 more needed from 48 balls.
11.5 overs (1 Run) Flatter and on leg, Smudge goes back to push this one through mid-wicket. Gives the strike back to Gabbar.
11.4 overs (1 Run) Tossed up and it is outside off, Dhawan pushes this one through covers for a single now.
11.3 overs (0 Run) Shortish around off, Dhawan punches this to the fielder at covers.
11.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! SLAM! 100 up for Delhi here and Gabbar has absolutely whacked this one. This is bowled full and around off, Shikhar Dhawan gets down on his knee and slog sweeps this one all the way over deep mid-wicket.
11.1 overs (1 Run) Comes down the track and whips this one through mid-wicket for one.
10.6 overs (2 Runs) A good over as Delhi collect 9 off the over! Around off, shortish, flicked through square leg for a couple.
