Player Of The Match
  • End of Over 20
    Over 20. 12 runs. Bowler: Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Delhi Daredevils: 139/8 (rr 6.95)
  • 19.6
    Shreyas Iyer c Aaron Finch b Mujeeb Ur Rahman 57 (45)

    OUT! Bowled. Trent Boult to Andrew Tye. Half volley, outside off stump moves in front Slog, inside edge to. That finishes off a super display with the ball from Delhi Daredevils. Tye kept on swinging hard and missing, but the one time he gets some wood on it, he drags the ball back onto his stumps.

    Most of the batsmen struggled, so perhaps not the best of pitches for free flowing runs, but the Double D's are still the favourites at the halfway point. Liam Plunkett the pick of the bowlers with a clever four over spell. Can the chasing team win yet another game? Find out after a short break.

    OUT! Caught. Daniel Christian to David Miller. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air uncontrolled to deep extra cover, by Plunkett. Cannot keep Plunkett out the game! Three wickets, and now a stinger of a catch in the deep. Miller nails a drive out the middle, but he picks out the fielder perfectly. The ball was travelling quickly, but it was gobbled up with ease.

  • 17.2

    Daniel Christian to David Miller. Length ball, outside off stump no foot movement Slog, inside edge to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Tewatia.

  • 17.1

    FOUR! Daniel Christian to David Miller. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, outside edge past third man for 4 runs. Miller flings the bat at the ball, and gets a handy edge that runs away fine. No fielder in place to stop that one.

  • End of Over 17
    Over 17. 15 runs. Bowler: Barinder Sran. Delhi Daredevils: 116/5 (rr 6.82)
  • 16.6

  • 16.1

    OUT! Caught. Liam Plunkett to Karun Nair. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot flick, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Iyer. Almost another one put down, but Iyer clings on after a little juggle on the boundary edge. Plenty of bottom hand in this as Nair whips it from outside off. Looked like he was giving catching practice to the man in the deep, as he hardly seem to put any force behind it. End of an ugly innings from Karun. Kings XI continue to struggle.

  • End of Over 16
    Over 16. 5 runs. Bowler: Andrew Tye. Delhi Daredevils: 101/5 (rr 6.31)
  • 15.6

    Amit Mishra to Karun Nair. Quicker length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Plunkett.

  • 15.5

    FOUR! Amit Mishra to Karun Nair. Quicker ball half volley, down leg side on the front foot sweeping, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. Poor line from Mishra. Clearly still annoyed about the drop earlier in the over. Nair is down on one knee, and swipes it round the corner to the fine leg fence.

  • 15.4

    Amit Mishra to David Miller. Quicker length ball, down leg side on the back foot flick, to backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Khan.

  • 15.4

  • 15.3

    SIX! Amit Mishra to David Miller. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Right in Miller's arc. Given plenty air, and launched out the ground. A clean strike of the ball from the South African.

  • End of Over 20
    Over 20. 12 runs. Bowler: Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Delhi Daredevils: 139/8 (rr 6.95)
  • 19.6
    Shreyas Iyer c Aaron Finch b Mujeeb Ur Rahman 57 (45)

    OUT! Caught. Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shreyas Iyer. Carrom ball back of a length, outside off stump moves in front driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Finch. Mujeeb holds his nerve! It was a perfect length to hit it out the park, but Shreyas Iyer mis-hits it, and the fielder hangs on to give Kings XI the win.

    The IPL this year keeps serving up last over thrillers. The Delhi bowlers did a great job, but the Kings XI attack were even better! It could've gone either way, but the Daredevils' batsmen couldn't find the boundaries in the last few overs to get them over the line. That means they stay at the foot of the table, and Kings XI go two points clear at the top.

  • 19.5

    FOUR! Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shreyas Iyer. Carrom ball back of a length, outside off stump down the track glancing, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. Fired in quickly by Mujeeb, but Iyer has quick feet to get down the pitch, and tickles it away fine for four! It's going down to the last ball!

  • 19.4

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shreyas Iyer. Carrom length ball, outside off stump moves in front Slog, in the air under control to long on for 2 runs, fielded by Miller.

  • 19.3

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shreyas Iyer. Quicker length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed to long off for no runs, fielded by Finch.

  • 19.2

    SIX! Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shreyas Iyer. Carrom ball short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Dropped short, Iyer stays back in the crease, and flat-bats this back over the bowler's head for six!

  • 19.1

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shreyas Iyer. Off break length ball, outside off stump moves in front pulling, hit pad to short fine leg for no runs, fielded by Rajpoot.

  • End of Over 19

    OUT! Caught. Barinder Sran to Liam Plunkett. Back of a length, down leg side down the track flick, in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg, by Nair. Plunkett goes first ball! He times it better than he thought he would it seems. Runs down and clips it off the pads, and the ball travels all the way down to deep square leg for a simple catch. All Delhi's hopes are on Iyer here! What drama.

  • 18.1

    Barinder Sran to Shreyas Iyer. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Tye.

  • 17.6
    Rahul Tewatia c Lokesh Rahul b Andrew Tye 24 (21)

    OUT! Caught. Andrew Tye to Rahul Tewatia. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Rahul. Quality from Tye. He has been superb today. The knuckle ball does the trick, as Tewatia doesn't pick it at all. Through the shot too early, and he just manages to get a feather on it through to Rahul. Going right down to the wire here.

    FOUR! Barinder Sran to Rahul Tewatia. Half volley, outside off stump moves in front sweeping, well timed in the air under control past fine leg for 4 runs. Remarkable stroke! Tewatia walks across, gets down on one knee, and controls a sweep round the corner to the boundary! Great innovation.

    SIX! Barinder Sran to Rahul Tewatia. Length ball, middle stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. That's a beauty. Tewatia steps outside leg stump early, gets one in the slot, and pumps this way back. Perfect time to get a maximum for the Daredevils.
