T Natarajan to Rishabh Pant
Superb effort in the deep! This is full and near the wide guideline on off, Rishabh Pant reaches out and drills it in front of square on the off side. Nitish Kumar Reddy covers good ground to his left and puts in a dive to save a couple of runs for his side.

T Natarajan to Lalit Yadav
OUT! TIMBER! T Natarajan gets the reward for using his smarts throughout his spell! Stays over the wicket and serves it at 138 kph on a good length, around middle and leg, Lalit Yadav backs away and shapes up to go back over the bowler's head. He fails to connect and sees the ball clatter into the leg stump. Natarajan goes for just 7 runs in his third wicket and gets a wicket too. It leaves Delhi with an uphill task, needing 101 runs off 30 balls.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Rishabh Pant
Full, on the middle, Rishabh Pant flicks it towards deep mid-wicket and scampers back for the second and collides his bat on Heinrich Klaasen's boots as he reaches home in time.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Rishabh Pant
SIX! Finally, Pant gets it timed correctly. Right into the slot of the batter, on the middle, angling in, Rishabh Pant creates room for himself by clearing his front foot and hoists it over deep mid-wicket fence for a maximum.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Rishabh Pant

Pat Cummins to Rishabh Pant
An off-cutter banged into the pitch on the top of the stumps. Rishabh Pant is deceived by the pace off and ends up inside edging it over the stumps to the keeper, trying to pull it over.

Pat Cummins to Rishabh Pant
FOUR! Nicely done! Strays a slower one down the leg side, Rishabh Pant predicts the length early and ramps it over short fine for a boundary.

Pat Cummins to Rishabh Pant
FOUR! These shots are out of the cricket books and only Rishabh Pant has the ability to hit these! Short in length, outside off, Pant stays on the leg side of the ball and plays it like a tennis shot over the covers for a boundary.

T Natarajan to Axar Patel
OUT! TAKEN! T Natarajan continues to have a good time! Second wicket for him! Bowls a knee-length full toss just around off, Axar Patel gets low in an attempt to clear the 30-yard circle on the off side but gets no timing at all on it as he is pretty late on the shot. It slices off the willow and lobs up straight towards Pat Cummins stationed at covers who takes an easy catch.

T Natarajan to Anrich Nortje
OUT! BULL'S EYE! BOWLED'EM! Third wicket for T Natarajan! Aims a pin-point yorker, attacking the stumps with precision. Anrich Nortje clears his front foot to squeeze it out but is totally beaten all ends up as he plays all over the line of the ball. The ball breaks into the stumps in a blink of an eye. An excellent display of yorker bowling. Picture-perfect execution from him.

T Natarajan to Kuldeep Yadav
OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW and the umpire gives it out! Kuldeep Yadav has gone upstairs and has challenged the umpire's decision. Another perfectly-aimed yorker from T Natarajan, right at the toes of the southpaw, Kuldeep Yadav is late to bring his bat down in time and the ball pings his front boot. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Ball Tracking confirms three reds and the on-field decision stands. T Natarajan gets his fourth wicket. These are now his career-best figures in the Indian T20 League.

T Natarajan to Mukesh Kumar
Aims a yorker but ends up bowling a full toss. Mukesh Kumar pushes it to the off side. So no hat-trick for T Natarajan.

T Natarajan to Mukesh Kumar
On the hard length, around off, Mukesh Kumar stands tall and pats it down the deck. A triple-wicket maiden from T Natarajan. What an excellent bowling display from him!

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Rishabh Pant
OUT! TAKEN! Delhi is done and dusted on 199! Nitish Kumar Reddy comes from around the wicket and bangs it short in length, angling into the batter on the chest level. Rishabh Pant shuffles a bit to the off stump and pulls it with no timing on it. He even loses the grip of one hand from the bat as the ball flies and travels straight into the hands of T Natarajan patrolling the deep fine leg region. He reverse cups it and Hyderabad win by 67 runs. They move up to the second spot in the Points Table with this huge convincing victory.
