END OF OVER:
20 | 7 Runs 1 Wkt | DC: 164/5 | RR: 8.20

  • Shikhar Dhawan106 (61b)
  • Mohammed Shami4-0-28-2
  • Arshdeep Singh3-0-30-0

Dhawan: 106 runs, 61 balls, 12 fours, 3 sixes. The rest: 54 runs, 59 balls, 2 fours, 2 sixes. Just to put T20 in perspective: remember the horror start from DC against the same team a month ago? They scored 155 then. Just 164 today. Shami has conceded just 13 runs in his two overs at the death. He was my Man of the Match last match too. And he has given his side a great chance to keep its momentum going

Have the Delhi Capitals made enough to put this out of reach for the Kings XI Punjab? Have a say in our rolling report

Mohammed Shami to Hetmyer, OUT, perfect yorker at the base of the leg stump to knock him over. Shami has bowled excellently here to bring KXIP right back into the contest

SO Hetmyer b Mohammed Shami 10 (6b 0x4 1x6) SR: 166.66

Mohammed Shami to Hetmyer, 2 runs, another yorker nailed. Hetmyer digs it out, but they take on an overthrow for the second. Why is the throw needed?
19.4
1
Mohammed Shami to Dhawan, 1 run, looks for the outrageous reverse sweep to 145ks low full tosses. Easy into it, and the front edge gets him just a single
19.3
1
Mohammed Shami to Hetmyer, 1 run, low full toss, but Hetmyer doesn't get enough on it. Just the single to mid-off

Mid-off and extra cover are up

19.2

Mohammed Shami to Dhawan, 1 run, making room, but Shami doesn't waiver off the yorker length. Dug out for one to long-off
19.1
2
Mohammed Shami to Dhawan, 2 runs, shuffles around, takes this on the full, and places this into the leg side

I tell you what, Punjab will not be too despondent about this so far. This is a good pitch. But batsmen other than Dhawan have bot come to the party: Dhawan has scored double the runs of others at double the strike rate

Arshdeep Singh to Hetmyer, SIX, Hetmyer finally joins the party. This is how difficult it is to bowl at the death. Arshdeep misses the yorker by half a foot, but Hetmyer goes deep in the crease to take it on the half-volley, and hit him over long-on
18.5
1
Arshdeep Singh to Dhawan, 1 run, yorker gone wrong, but it is still a straight low full toss. Hit hard but straight to deep midwicket for one
18.4
2
Arshdeep Singh to Dhawan, 2 runs, Dhawan charges at him, Arshdeep bowls this short, and away from his reach. The toe-end cut goes past point for two. Back-to-back hundreds in the IPL. First time ever. He raises his arms in celebration
18.3

Arshdeep Singh to Dhawan, 2 runs, Dhawan looks to undo the yorker with a ramp but he is early into the shot. The front edge goes softly down the ground, and Hetmyer initiates the second and makes it
18.2

Arshdeep Singh to Hetmyer, 1 run, another yorker nailed. Hetmyer gets a single to cover

Excellent death bowling so far

Arshdeep Singh to Hetmyer, no run, no fancy slower ball first up. The yorker. Dug out back to Arshdeep

Arshdeep to bowl now. Slower bouncers coming up

Mohammed Shami to Dhawan, no run, yorker gone wrong, and this could have been the hundred. Dhawan hits the full toss straight to extra cover. A little bit either side, and this is four
17.5

Mohammed Shami to Dhawan, FOUR, oh Shami. He doesn't want to be too predictable with yorkers so bowls one short of a length and into the body. Dhawan still manages to cut it, and cut it hard, wide of square third man for a four
17.4

Mohammed Shami to Dhawan, no run, Dhawan looks to give him the charge, but Shami still bowls a yorker. What an adjustment in length. Dug out back to Shami, who makes him rush back. In fact if Shami's throw is accurate, he gets Dhawan. He misses

Hetmyer is the new batsman but he is not on strike. What red-hot form Shami has been in with his yorkers

17.3
W
Mohammed Shami to Stoinis, OUT, yorker gone wrong, but when you err you err on the full side. That is what has happened, and Stoinis who is looking to go deep into the crease is surprised as this full toss gets big on him. He gets a thick outside edge for a skier for Agarwal to catch after running to his right from cover

MP Stoinis c Agarwal b Mohammed Shami 9 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 90

17.2

Mohammed Shami to Dhawan, 1 run, Shami nails another yorker. Dug out with an open face for just a single

Mohammed Shami to Stoinis, 1 run, lovely yorker first up. Just the single to long-on

Shami has a job to do here. DC will be looking to push past 180

"Does any players had back to back hundred in T20? Dhawan is on some Red Hot form. Go Dhawan, get your hundred!" Rohan, Unmukt Chand, Warner, Klinger, Pietersen are some of the batsmen to have done it in T20s. Nobody in IPL yet, though
