END OF OVER:
20 | 7 Runs | DC: 189/3 | RR: 9.45

  • Shimron Hetmyer42 (22b)
  • Rishabh Pant2 (3b)
  • T Natarajan4-0-32-0
  • Sandeep Sharma4-0-30-1

Two great overs in the end by these Indian quicks. No boundaries off the last two overs, which began with just two wickets down. This is a lifeline for SRH, but DC will have taken a target of 190 had you offered them at the start of the innings. DC shed all their inhibition coming in, opened with Stoinis, gave Hetmyer the freedom to go after it, and saw the best of Dhawan. Hetmyer says the pitch is pretty good to bat on. He says he felt that Dhawan lbw was outside off, but he says Dhawan just turned around and walked, giving him no chance to ask him to review

It is a good pitch, there might be dew, but SRH will need the best of Warner to even give themselves a shot at chasing this down. It is their ill luck that they have lost Saha too

Natarajan to Hetmyer, 1 bye, excellent yorker, this one reverses in a lttile to beat him altogether. Pant does the smart thing to sneak in a bye

Natarajan and Warner have a chat

Natarajan to Hetmyer, 2 runs, another yorker, but Hetmyer goes deep into the crease and opens the face to get a couple square of deep cover

Natarajan to Pant, 1 run, yet another wide yorker, Pant looks to go down the ground but only cues it back down the wicket for a single
19.3

Natarajan to Hetmyer, 1 run, another attempt at the ramp, and Natarajan nails the wide yorker again, and it goes off the toe end towards straight midwicket for one
19.2
1lb
Natarajan to Pant, 1 leg bye, looks to go across and tries the ramp but Natarajan nails the wide yorker to concede just the leg-bye

Rise: "Dhawan's reverse sweeps haven't been his best shot this season, have they?"

Natarajan to Hetmyer, 1 run, Hetmyer down the wicket to convert this yorker into a low full toss, but gets no power into the shot. Just the single to long-on

Natarajan to bowl the last. SRH need all his good work to keep this target down

Sandeep Sharma to Dhawan, OUT, Dhawan looks for the revere sweep, but Sandeep beats him with a quick full toss and he has been given out lbw. It seems he has been hit outside the line but he doesn't bother reviewing. Hit well outside the line but Dhawan doesn't even look at his non-striker to check if he should review

Sandeep Sharma to Dhawan, 1 run, oh Rashid has dropped a sitter at deep midwicket. Absolute shocker of a night for SRH. Knuckle ball from Sandeep, right in the slot, but Dhawan doesn't get all on this slog. Rashid, though, lets it slip through

Oh these last two overs could mean a lot of pain. Can SRH bowl well defensively to keep them around 200? Sandeep to bowl the 19th. Round the wicket

Holder to Hetmyer, FOUR, bouncer from Holder, Hetmyer is not in control of the pull, but he has sent this straight enough of the deep midwicket fielder. Yorks the boundary triangle

Sandeep loosening his shoulders

Holder to Dhawan, FOUR, Dhawan has been trying this since the start of the last over but gets it right this time. Shuffles across to go to the leg side, Holder serves up a straight full toss, and he flicks this to the vacant square leg fence, Six hundred runs for Dhawan this IPL

Back over the wicket

Holder to Hetmyer, 1 run, goes for the wide yorker, ends up bowling a low full toss, and Hetmyer gets an inside edge for one

Holder to Hetmyer, FOUR, Nadeem's nightmare continues. Holder bowls wide and length, draws a slice from Hetmyer, Nadeem gets under it at third man, but as he goes down he loses the ball and doesn't even get a touch on it. And as he tumbles extravagantly, the ball rolls away for a four
17.1

Holder to Hetmyer, FOUR, slot ball, outside off, and Hetmyer stays deep in the crease to stay under it and smacks this straight of long-off for four

Holder to bowl out. That leaves tow young Indian quicks for 19 and 20. They want Hetmyer's wicket from him

Natarajan to Dhawan, 1 run, fine leg is up so Dhawan shuffles across, but Natarajan stays wide with this short-of-a-lenght ball. Just the single to deep square leg
