19.0 - Mishra to Bailey, FOUR, Bailey shuffles across his stumps and plays the lap scoop to perfection, Tahir from short fine leg gives chase, but the ball beats him to the fence, 19 runs came off the over. That will surely spoil Mishra's figures

8.5 - Tahir to Sehwag, FOUR, back-to-back fours in the same region now. This one was bowled flatter and outside off. This time Sehwag waits on it, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and guides it past third man, who was running to his right and dives in vain, the ball runs away to the fence

8.4 - Tahir to Sehwag, FOUR, what a follow up shot after the six, this time Tahir drags his length back, Sehwag stays on the back foot, cuts it past backward point, who dives to his left but fails to stop it, great shot from Viru there

4.4 - Mathews to Vijay, FOUR, Vijay gives himself room this time and creates width for himself, he cuts it to the left of backward point and the ball runs away to the fence, the third man fielder runs to his right but the ball was far away from him

4.1 - Mathews to Sehwag, FOUR, poor ball from Mathews first up. You can't give width to Sehwag, it was in his zone and he cuts it uppishly over backward point for a boundary

3.0 - Coulter-Nile to Sehwag, FOUR, finally Sehwag gets the boundary he was looking for, it was slightly back of a length and was bowled a little wide outside off, Sehwag slices the cut and gets it over the infield, one bounce and over the rope at squarish third man region, the ball travelled so quickly that third man had no chance of stopping that

1.2 - Joseph to Vijay, FOUR, Vijay backs away this time and goes over mid-on, just about clears the leaping fielder there as he was well inside the circle, the ball runs away to the fence

18.3 - Mishra to Bailey, SIX, Mishra is taking a pounding here, Bailey comes down the track, reaches to the pitch of the ball and clobbers this flighted delivery over the long-on fence

18.1 - Mishra to A Patel, SIX, gives this one way too much air on the stumps, Patel goes for the slog sweep and he connects really well this time. He hammers this googly over the deep mid-wicket fence

15.5 - Tahir to Maxwell, SIX, hammered! Another quicker one from Tahir and Maxwell gets another maximum. He waits for the ball to come and pulls it hard over the deep mid-wicket fence

15.2 - Tahir to Maxwell, SIX, what a swing from Maxwell! He picked the googly there, bends down and slogs it over the deep mid-wicket fence. Great use of power in those arms and wrists came into use as well. It was a whippy slog from Maxwell

14.5 - Duminy to Sehwag, SIX, round-armish ball from Duminy, Sehwag waits on it and slogs it over the deep mid-wicket fence, Sehwag is turning on the heat here

12.4 - Coulter-Nile to W Saha, SIX, super shot! It was full again and outside off, Saha leans forward and lofts it over wide long-off for a maximum

10.4 - Mathews to W Saha, SIX, banged in short and outside off, Saha went for the pull, doesn't time it too well but the ball just about clears Joseph, who was standing on the rope at deep mid-wicket

8.3 - Tahir to Sehwag, SIX, there's no holding Sehwag back when the spinners are on. It was tossed up outside off, Sehwag waits for it and just tonks it over the long-off fence for a six

6.0 - Joseph to W Saha, SIX, another one on middle stump line, Saha comes charging down the track and plays a whippy pull, he deposits it over the deep backward square leg fence. Great use of the wrists there from Saha

2.0 - Joseph to Vijay, SIX, what a shot! Vijay comes charging down the track and he muscles this pull off a short delivery over the deep mid-wicket fence, first maximum of the night for PUN

20.0 - Tahir to A Patel, out Caught by Mathews!! Back-to-back wickets for Tahir and DEL finish on a high. It was another googly from Tahir, Patel makes room and goes for the loft over long-off, he got it off the bottom of the bat and the fielder at long-off takes the catch inches in front of the rope. A Patel c Mathews b Tahir 13(10) [6s-1]

19.5 - Tahir to Bailey, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Bailey goes as he was looking for a six there. It was the googly from Tahir, Bailey read it correctly as he backs away, he wasn't to the pitch of the ball though and doesn't get the distance as he goes for a big slog. The fielder at deep mid-wicket takes the catch. Bailey c Shreyas Iyer b Tahir 19(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

17.0 - Duminy to D Miller, out Bowled!! Miller perishes this time. PUN are losing wickets in quick succession. Last 3 overs, 3 wickets have come off the last balls of those overs. Duminy bowled this slower and Miller went for the big pull, he was early into the shot and missed it completely. He missed and the ball crashed into the stumps. D Miller b Duminy 5(7)

16.0 - Tahir to Maxwell, out Caught by M Tiwary!! One shot too many for Maxwell. After scoring 15 off his first 4 balls, he perishes to the ball going away from him. Tahir slowed this leg-spinner and bowled it slightly wide outside off as Maxwell came down the track, the batsman reached out and went after it, but ends up slicing it high. Tiwary from point runs to his right and takes the catch. Maxwell c M Tiwary b Tahir 15(5) [6s-2]

15.0 - Duminy to Sehwag, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! Sehwag falters in trying to up the ante. He misses out on his fifty by just 3 runs. It was bowled quicker and way outside off, Sehwag wanted to go over deep extra cover and went chasing after it, but ends up slicing it high in the air. Coulter-Nile from sweeper cover runs in to his right and takes a good catch. Sehwag c Coulter-Nile b Duminy 47(41) [4s-4 6s-2]

13.5 - Mishra to W Saha, out Bowled!! Saha is gone against the run of play. It was the quicker cross seam ball from Mishra, Saha was looking to heave it over the on-side, he fails to connect and the ball goes under his bat, crashes into the off-stump. It was in the blockhole and Saha was in no position to play that shot. The umpires check for the front foot no-ball but Mishra is fine on that count. A good knock from Saha comes to an end and a timely breakthrough for Delhi. W Saha b Mishra 39(28) [6s-3]

5.0 - Mathews to Vijay, out Caught by Duminy!! Vijay goes trying to get another boundary. It was the cross-seam ball from Mathews, Vijay went for the pull and looks like the pace did him on this occasion. He was hurried on the pull there and miscues it completely. The bat turned in his hands too as Duminy from mid-off runs to his right, stretches and takes a good catch. That wicket will definitely lift the spirits of the Delhi. Vijay c Duminy b Mathews 19(18) [4s-2 6s-1]

11.0 - Mathews to W Saha, 1 run, pushes this one to point and takes the single, that brings up the 50 of the partnership as well

6.3 - Mathews to Sehwag, 1 run, banged in short and cramps Sehwag for room there, who goes for the pull. He couldn't quite time it that well and hits it on the bounce to mid-on. Sehwag was struggling to make his ground as both batsmen almost collided midway on the pitch, but Sehwag recovers and makes his ground as the throw from Duminy comes in and misses the stumps. A direct-hit would have been curtains for Sehwag.

19.5 - A Patel to Mathews, FOUR, Mathews wins it for Delhi in the end. The Delhi finally break the shackles. DEL win a game after 353 days, their first win in 12 matches. It was tossed up, Mathews comes down the track and drives it to the left of mid-on, the ball runs away to the fence

18.0 - R Dhawan to M Agarwal, FOUR, short and slightly wide outside off, Agarwal slices the loft to the left of deep extra cover, where the fielder was running to his right, puts in the dive but fails to catch it. The ball runs away to the fence, it was the slower one from Dhawan

16.4 - Anureet Singh to M Agarwal, FOUR, slower short ball from Anureet, Agarwal had all the time in the world to pull it towards the deep mid-wicket fence, Maxwell runs to his right in the deep, tries to put the ball back in play after diving forward, but the ball rolls away to the fence

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. DEL won't mind this one bit

14.1 - Johnson to M Agarwal, FOUR, 50 of the partnership comes up with this four. It was the slower ball outside off, Agarwal waits on it, opens the face of the bat and punches it towards the square third man region, the fielder from third man runs to his right but had no chance of stopping that

12.1 - R Dhawan to Yuvraj, FOUR, Yuvi is in the groove today! It was full and outside off, Yuvraj leans forward and lofts it over mid-off with ease. The fielder was inside the circle and hence, it was a good shot from Yuvi

10.1 - Johnson to Yuvraj, FOUR, that's a brilliant shot, it was full and outside off, Yuvraj leans forward and drives it to the left of diving short mid-off, the ball raced past him and crashes into the fence

9.4 - Sandeep Sharma to Yuvraj, FOUR, take that Sharma! It was banged in short and the ball sits up nicely for Yuvraj to free his arms, he pulls it magnificently to the deep mid-wicket fence

8.2 - Johnson to Yuvraj, FOUR, poor ball from Johnson first up, it was sprayed on the pads, Yuvraj tucks it away in the corner and got it fine, the fielder from long leg runs to his left and puts in the dive, but the ball beats him to the fence

5.1 - Johnson to Duminy, FOUR, walks across to this slightly back of a length delivery on the stumps, he works it wide of mid-on and collects four for that even though the fielder from mid-on gave chase. Johnson didn't look happy there as his first ball has gone for a boundary

4.4 - Sandeep Sharma to Duminy, FOUR, full and well wide outside off, Duminy went chasing after that, he gets an outside edge that flies over the lone slip and runs away to the third man fence

3.3 - Anureet Singh to Duminy, FOUR, great shot from Duminy to get off the mark. It was short and the ball sits up nicely for Duminy to rock back and he muscles the pull to the deep mid-wicket fence

2.2 - Sandeep Sharma to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, angling in on off and middle, Iyer goes for the slog, the bat turns in his hands as he connects with the ball, but he got it in the gap to the right of mid-on, the ball hurries through the turf and crashes into the fence

1.4 - Anureet Singh to M Agarwal, FOUR, misfield and it's a four! It was fuller delivery outside off, Agarwal leans forward and drives it through the square third man region, the fielder at third man, runs to his right, slides and somehow makes a mess of it. The ball rolls away to the fence and the bowler is not happy with the effort there

1.3 - Anureet Singh to M Agarwal, FOUR, length delivery angling in on middle, Agarwal puts his front foot forward and goes for the loft, just about clears Johnson at mid-on, who could just see the ball sail over him and the ball runs away to the fence

0.3 - Sandeep Sharma to M Agarwal, FOUR, good shot to open his account, it was another inswinger from Sharma, Agarwal puts his front foot forward and lofts it over mid-wicket, the ball runs away to the fence

16.2 - Anureet Singh to Yuvraj, SIX, Yuvraj gets to his 9th T20 League fifty in style! He looks at the sky after getting to the milestone. It was full and on the pads, Yuvraj just flicks it off his pads over deep mid-wicket. Sheer power and brilliant use of the wrists there to send it over the rope. Replays showed that it was a no-ball as well, but the umpire didn't spot it

16.0 - A Patel to Yuvraj, SIX, Yuvi is turning on the heat! Just a hit away from his fifty now. It was slighty flatter and on the pads, Yuvraj slog sweeps it over the deep square leg fence. That's Yuvraj in full swing, hitting flat sixes at will

15.3 - A Patel to Yuvraj, SIX, that's the Yuvraj we know! What a shot from the Prince of Punjab! It was floated up around off, Yuvi gets under it and smashes it over the long-on fence

14.5 - Johnson to M Agarwal, SIX, that's a great way to bring your fifty, hitting Johnson for a six. It was short and down the leg-side, Agarwal waits for it and pulls it over the deep backward square leg fence for a maximum

11.3 - Maxwell to M Agarwal, SIX, Maxwell has been thumped here! It was floated up on outside off, Agarwal goes down on one knee, gets under it and hammers it over the long-on fence

19.3 - A Patel to K Jadhav, out Caught by Anureet Singh!! Ohh dear! Jadhav has thrown it away here. Is there a twist in the tale? Jadhav backs away here and goes for a wild slog this time, he ends up slicing it very high in the air. Anureet at cover moves to his right and takes the catch. K Jadhav c Anureet Singh b A Patel 3(5)

18.3 - Anureet Singh to M Agarwal, out Bowled!! 2 in 2 balls for Anureet. The umpires check for the front foot again, but there's something behind it. It's an unlucky way to get out, but Agarwal has done his job. This is highest score in T20 League history. Coming back to the dismissal, it was a full toss on the pads as Agarwal backed away, he failed to clip it through the on-side and the ball crashes into the off-stump and the bail falls on the ground after taking the deflection off the pad. M Agarwal b Anureet Singh 68(48) [4s-7 6s-2]

18.2 - Anureet Singh to Yuvraj, out Caught by Sandeep Sharma!! That's an excellent running catch from Sandeep Sharma. The umpires check for the front foot no-ball, but Anureet is fine on that count. It was fuller in length and angled in on middle stump from round the wicket. Yuvi stays back and uses his wrist to hoick it over mid-wicket, he wanted to hit that for a six, but didn't get quite under it. Sandeep runs in from the deep mid-wicket boundary, dives forward and takes a brilliant catch. Yuvraj c Sandeep Sharma b Anureet Singh 55(39) [4s-5 6s-3]

7.2 - A Patel to M Agarwal, out Duminy Run Out!! It's an unlucky way of getting out, but Duminy has to make the long walk back. Patel is delighted to have his man here. It was a flighted delivery, Agarwal drives it to the right of the bowler, who dives to his right and stops the ball. Duminy was out of his crease there and Patel flicks the ball towards the stumps. Duminy was coming back, but Patel gets his in way and he loses his bat. He tries to make his ground by grounding his right hand after he falls over but the bail is dislodged just in time. Big wicket for PUN as Duminy was looking good. Duminy run out (A Patel) 21(19) [4s-3]

2.5 - Sandeep Sharma to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Anureet Singh!! Iyer goes and Sharma has his first of the night. It was banged in short and outside off, Iyer was shaping up for the pull, but got into a very awkward position, he checks his shot and the ball goes off the face of the bat towards third man, who goes to his left to take the catch. Iyer was in two minds there whether to go through with the shot or not and that brought about his downfall. Shreyas Iyer c Anureet Singh b Sandeep Sharma 6(5) [4s-1]

14.2 - Johnson to M Agarwal, 1 run, dropped! It was a difficult one for Sandeep Sharma, it was fuller and slightly wide outside off, Agarwal went after it and got it off the toe-end of the bat. The ball went very high in the air, Sharma from sweeper cover runs in, takes the catch but as he falls on the ground, the ball pops out of his hand. Johnson was almost celebrating there, but he was left disappointed. A good effort nevertheless

17.3 - R Dhawan to Yuvraj, 1 run, this single brings up the 100-run stand, it was full and outside off, Yuvraj leans forward and drives it to deep extra cover

13.5 - A Patel to Yuvraj, 2 runs, low full toss on leg, Yuvraj flicks it wide of long-on. The batsmen come back for the second and Miller at long-on picks it up quickly and releases the throw at the non-striker's end, a direct-hit would have been curtains for Agarwal there
