Mayank Agarwal will take the strike first up. Sandeep Sharma will open the bowling. There is just a slip in place.
Well, it's time to focus back on the game today. Will DEL win their first game today after 11 successive losses? Only time will tell. For now, PUN players are walking out to the middle after breaking out of the huddle. The Delhi' openers also make their way out on the field.
It's a big blow for Mumbai, who are already struggling at the bottom of the points table. This will only make it worse for them. Lendl Simmons will probably take his place in the playing XI now.
Aaron Finch has tweeted: Looks like I'll be out of the rest of @T20 League at this stage! The scan showed a bit of damage, absolutely shattered!
Mathews: 'We can take the momentum. The bowlers came back really well. After the start, we had to take wickets and we did that. Great effort from the bowling unit. It's a little two-paced (talking about the pitch), but 165 is about par and we need to bat well. We don't need to put a lot of pressure on ourselves and not lose wickets in the beginnning. We can then chase it down in the later half of the innings.'
Once Sehwag was dismissed, the jam-packed stadium roused to life as Glenn Maxwell and George Bailey landed a few handy blows. For Delhi, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Amit Mishra put up a concerted effort to pull the batting side back early on in the innings. JP Duminy took the crucial wickets of Sehwag and David Miller. The deck is good for batting and Delhi will look to overhaul the target.
Virender Sehwag and Wriddhiman Saha played fluent knocks as Punjab posted a competitive total. In fact, they had an early hiccup, as Murali Vijay was dismissed by Angelo Mathews. However, they recovered on the back of Sehwag and Saha stitching a fine partnership. If Sehwag played lofted shots down the ground and showed good wrist-work to smartly guide it through third-man, then Saha hoicked it across the line to crack a couple of sixes. Sehwag even took on the key spinner in the opposition ranks, Imran Tahir, to crunch two boundaries and a six in a single over.

Vijay and Sehwag are at the crease. Vijay is on strike. Coulter-Nile will open the attack
@cricketaakash: The secret to #PUN's success was posting an above-par score...not happening this year...play an extra bowler. Shardul/Karanveer/Golwalkar!
@RusselArnold69: Happy for @DelhiDelhi they needed this win.. Good job fellows snapping the losing streak..a team to watch out for in this competition
@sanjaymanjrekar: Key moment in the game: Yuvi not getting out to Mitchell Johnson. After that the man with the best bat flow in the game takes DEL home.
Mayank Agarwal: 'Very delighted and I am extremely happy. I want to thank my team and the people, who are helping us. The plan was to keep wickets in hand and see of the new ball. We knew Punjab takes a lot of wickets up front and the plan was to see out the new ball. We repeated the treble (playing for Karnataka), winning games and winning tournaments is what we all play for. We have momentum on our side. In the first two games as well, we couldn't close out on the game, but we did it today.'
Mayank Agarwal is the Man of the Match for his 48-ball 68
Duminy: 'It's been 12 games. Pretty pleased with the performance. You could see the tentativeness in the back part of the innings. There are not many bowlers in the world who can be on top of him when he's in that kind of form (on Yuvraj's performance). He was really good, he did brillianlty today. We always knew that the spinners will be the most diffiult to face in the end.'
Bailey: 'I thought we had enough. We didn't bat, field or bowl well enough. You need to do well in at least 2 out of 3 disciplines and we didn't do it. Our batters got runs, but there were no particular partnerships as such. You saw what a 100-run parternship does and the Delhi got it. Everytime, we started getting mometum, we lost a wicket. David (Miller) is versatile enough and it doesn't matter that how you strike the ball, but you need to bat according to the situation (talking about the batting order). We put down 2-3 chances as well. In these games, there is no point having a team bat till the 18th over and having 2 or 3 down, you need to take wickets up front. Quite happy with the way we fought it out. The boys came back and did well towards the end'
The Punjab camp would be disappointed with the fact that they lost their way a bit after Virender Sehwag and Wriddhiman Saha had strung together an enterprising partnership. For Delhi, if Amit Mishra and Nathan Coulter-Nile put the brakes on the scoring rate, then Imran Tahir made a sterling comeback in the end overs to snare three wickets.
Yuvraj Singh unfurled a series of sparkling shots to help Delhi win their first game of this year's tournament. In fact, this was Delhi's first win after losing 11 games in a row in the T20 League. Mayank Agarwal too played a key role with a handy innings. Earlier, after Shreyas Iyer was dismissed by Sandeep Sharma, the partnership between Duminy and Agarwal was taking sizeable proportions. Unfortunately for them, Duminy was run out. However, Yuvraj and Agarwal played with resolve. Yuvraj reached his fifty in style by flicking Anureet for a six. It got a bit tense in the end, but Delhi eventually won the game with one ball to spare.
The players walk off the field after shaking hands. Duminy is delighted to finally have a win under his belt. The Delhi are all smiles as they come out to shake hands with their counterparts. Even Gary Kirsten applauds his team's efforts.

It's an unlucky way to get out, but Agarwal has done his job. This is highest score in T20 League history.

14.4 -
Johnson to M Agarwal, FOUR, was that intentional? Looks like it. It was touch fuller and outside off, Agarwal reaches out and looks to slice it over backward point, he manages to get it very fine, the third man who was put in a more squarish position after the first boundary is too square for this one.

It was pitched up outside off, Yuvraj drives it to the left of sweeper cover, where Vijay runs to his left, dives and first stops the ball with his left hand and realises that the ball was still rolling back towards the rope, then Vijay did really well to put his right hand out to stop the ball, saved two for his team

Sandeep Sharma to M Agarwal, no run, huge lbw shout! The umpire turns it down. Was the ball doing too much, but it hits him in line with middle and off. It was the big inswinger that jags back in sharply, Agarwal fails to flick it into the on-side and the ball rolls away towards point off the pad. There was a huge appeal, but the umpire turned it down. Agarwal was also looking for the single there, but is right to not go through with it. He would have been run-out had he gone for the single
M Agarwal and Shreyas Iyer are at the crease. M Agarwal is on strike. Sandeep Sharma will open the attack
