... THE RUN CHASE ...
Right then! Hyderabad need 208 runs to get back to winning ways! They do not have a brutal batting lineup but they have quality players who are capable of chasing this down. Stay tuned for the second essay.
Rovman Powell is down for a chat. He says that he was trying his best to hit sixes. Adds that he asked Warner at the start of the over whether he should take a single to let Warner hit a century but he told Powell to go for the shots. Informs that he had a chat with Pant before the game and he asked Pant to let him bat at number 5. Mentions that the surface is a good one to bat on and they need to bowl well and use the long boundaries to good effect. Tells that the target should be enough and chasing over 200 is never easy.
Other than the first over of the innings, nothing really went Hyderbad's way. Bhuvneshwar Kumar did trouble the batters with his swing and he was also rewarded with a wicket. But post that it was all Delhi! All the bowlers were taken to the cleaners tonight. They sure did miss the services of T Natarajan. It was not just their bowling, but they were a bit sloppy on the field as well. However, they face a tough task ahead now, but not an impossible one.
Delhi did not get off to a great start, they lost Mandeep Singh in the first over, and soon lost Marsh as well. While wickets were falling at the other end, David Warner made sure to keep scoring runs and got a total of 50 at the end of the Powerplay. Pant perished after playing a cameo and post that Powell and Warner started firing and they made sure they kept the run rate above 9 an over till the end. The duo put together 122 runs and powered Delhi to a total of 207.
It's been an exuberant exhibition of power-hitting from Delhi! David Warner and Rovman Powell have put on a scintillating batting performance and have guided Delhi to a mammoth total of over 200. Not the best day in the field for Hyderabad! They have a mountain to climb from here now.
19.6 overs (1 Run) So a bye to end the inings! A short ball, around off. Powell looks to pull but misses. The ball goes back to the keeper and the batters steal a bye. Delhi end with 207/3 after 20 overs!
19.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Three in a row! It is full and outside off. Again good pacy delivery at 156 kph. Powell goes deep in his crease and this time hits it over the extra-cover fielder in the ring for a boundary.
19.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! This ball is bowled at 157 kph and Powell has smashed that with disdain! It is full and outside off. Powell slams it wide of long off for a boundary.
19.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Another boundary, just 2 runs away from 200 now! This is a fullish delivery, outside off. Rovman Powell looks to heave it across the line. The ball catches the outside edge of his blade and the ball goes away over short third man for a boundary.
19.2 overs (0 Run) Dot ball! A length delivery, outside off. Powell swings across the line but misses.
19.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Powell has played exactly the innings, Delhi wanted! Fifty for Rovman Powell! It is a full delivery, on off. Malik misses his length just a bit as Powell goes deep in his crease. Hammers it over long off for a maximum.
Umran Malik comes to bowl the final over of the innings.
18.6 overs (0 Run) A yorker to end the over, on off. Warner hits it to mid off and does not get a single. So the last over coming up. Can Warner get to his century?
18.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Finds the gap again and Warner goes into the 90s. 100 runs partnership comes up as well. A fullish delivery on middle and leg. Warner whips it towards deep square leg and find the gap as the ball races away towards the fence.
18.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Another boundary for Warner! The man was inside the circle at mid off. Warner makes room to this length delivery on middle and hammers it straight down the ground for a boundary.

18.2 overs (1 Run) A yorker on middle. Warner hits it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

17.6 overs (0 Run) Dot ball! Brilliant over by Tyagi! Just 9 from it. Short and wide, outside off. Powell looks to slap it away but misses.
17.5 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Ohh...that should be given six for height as well! That went way too high. A fullish delivery, around off. Powell goes for a big mighty swing across the line. The ball goes high in the air and just over the ropes at the long on fence. The fielder jumps to catch it but it falls away from him over the ropes.
17.4 overs (1 Run) Almost a yorker again, on off. Warner manages to hit it to long on and looks for the second run but is sent back. A single taken.
17.3 overs (0 Run) Brilliant bowling from Kartik Tyagi! Nails a perfect wide yorker, outside off. Warner looks to dig it out but misses.

17.2 overs (0 Run) Dot ball! Gold dust at the moment! Back of a length, around off. Warner looks to heave it across the line but misses.
17.1 overs (1 Run) The ball falls just short of the long on fielder this time. It is full on off. Powell drills it flat but bit aerially and Aiden Markram dives forward at long on. He fails to reach it but stops it and just a single taken.
Kartik Tyagi comes back on!
16.6 overs (0 Run) A dot ball to end the over! Lucky there, Sean Abbott to get away with it. It is on the shorter side and outside off. Warner looks to upper cut it but misses.
16.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Now, Warner gets into the act and almost takes Sean Abbott's fingers away. On a length, around off. Warner slams it hard down the ground, right of the bowler. Sean Abbott gets a hand on it but the ball does not stick and goes away towards the long off fence.
16.4 overs (1 Run) Goes for a yorker this time, almost bowls it, around off. Powell drills it hard to long on for a single.
16.3 overs (6 Runs) SIX! This is poor bowling! It is a short ball, around off. Right in the arc and Rovman Powell pulls it hard over the cow corner for a maximum. He needs to find that blockhole!
16.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! This is the power of Rovman Powell! Abbott with a length delivery, around off. Rovman Powell just stands tall and hammers it over long off for a biggie.
16.2 overs (1 Run) WIDE! It is full and outside off. Rovman Powell tries reaching it but misses.
16.1 overs (0 Run) Sean Abbott starts with a dot delivery! Lands on a length but it is outside off and just away from the arc of Rovman Powell who swing across the line and misses. The ball goes back to the keeper.
DRINKS! Two set-batters are on the crease for Delhi and both are very destructive batters. However, it is a high-scoring ground and pressure will be on Warner and Rovman Powell to go big in these last four overs. Hyderabad, on the other hand, don't have T Natarajan today and let's see how other bowlers go about their business in these death overs. Can Delhi get over 190 here? Sean Abbott is back on.
15.6 overs (0 Run) A low full toss, outside off. David Warner opens the face of the bat and drives it straight to the fielder at point. No run there!
15.5 overs (1 Run) A yorker, around middle and leg. Rovman Powell works it away wide of long on and rotates the strike.
