This happens three or four times, before he finally holds on. The third umpire comes and confirms that this is a clean catch.

Jhye Richardson to Shikhar Dhawan
 OUT! TIMBER! The slower one does the trick for Punjab and Dhawan, who has played an amazing inning, goes back for 92. Sadly for him, will not be able to reach his hundred. Nevertheless, he will be very happy with his knock, as he has put Delhi in a very strong position in this game. Jhye bowls a nice slower, yorker-length ball on middle and leg, Dhawan shuffles across and looks to play the paddle sweep but he missed. The stumps are shattered behind him.

STRATEGIC TIME-OUT! A great start provided to Delhi, by Shaw and Dhawan, but Arshdeep's strike means that they sent the dangerous Shaw back to the hut. Now, the KL Rahul-led side will look to not let Smith settle and will want to send him back quickly, while also containing Dhawan and Delhi will be hoping that these two can keep playing their strokes, keeping one eye on the required rate. Also, Deepak Hooda will roll his arm now.

STRATEGIC TIME-OUT! It has been all about Dhawan for Delhi here. They need 71 runs from 42 balls and he is ensuring that they stay well ahead of the run chase and if he can stay out there till the end of the game, then with Pant at the other end too, Delhi will be positive that they can chase this down. Punjab will be hoping that they can break this stand and send Dhawan back to the shed first, and then also remove Pant, as the Delhi skipper can be very lethal.

Marcus Stoinis heads out now!

Arshdeep Singh (2-0-14-1) comes back into the attack.

The third umpire is called for now, to check the catch. First, they want to check if this was above the waist. As seen from the replays, you can see that the ball was above the waist and so, a no ball has been called. Another Free Hit coming up!
0
Is that a clean catch? Deepak Hooda feels that it is. Replays confirm the legality of the catch and Pant is out of here.

Lalit Yadav comes out now!

Right then. That is all we have from this game. Delhi were very dominant and have got the better of Punjab here. The action in the Indian T20 League continues as on Monday, 19th April 2021, we will see the clash between Chennai and Rajasthan at 1930 local (1400 GMT). We hope to have your company for that game. Until then, cheers and take care!
