Live IPL Score, Kings XI Punjab vs Delhi Capitals, Match 13: KXIP 87/3 in 10 Overs vs DC

* Hanuma Vihari into attack

20.53 IST:  Harshal Patel to David Miller, Wide! Returns to over the wicket for the left-hander now but slips a full ball down the leg side. David tries flicking but misses. How many the extra ball will fetch?

20.52 IST: Harshal Patel to David Miller, SIX! This one has disappeared! Harshal pushes his luck a little too much by bowling a slower full ball wide outside off. Miller picks it very early and launches it over covers for a biggie.

* Strategic time-out! In spite of losing wickets, Punjab are going at a decent rate. They though cannot afford to lose any more wickets and the current pair will have to bat out maximum overs, of they want to reach anywhere close to 175.

20.47 IST: Avesh Khan to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR! Not quite where he intended. A delivery in the line of the stumps, Sarfaraz tries playing the paddle scoop over the keeper but it takes the outer half of his blade and flies down to third man for a boundary.

20.45 IST: Avesh Khan to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR! That's a lovely shot! Avesh delivers it wide outside off, on a shortish length, Sarfaraz camps back and steers it through backward point for a boundary.

* Avesh Khan returns to attack

20.41 IST: Harshal Patel to David Miller, Five wides! Patel comes from 'round the wicket for the southpaw and sprays his delivery way down the leg side. Miller fails to get any bat behind it and the keeper also fails to get around it. Bonus runs for Punjab!

* David Miller is the new batsman.

20.38 IST: Harshal Patel to Sarfaraz Khan, OUT! A run out at the non-striker's end, no a Punjab batsman has not been Mankaded, it's courtesy a direct hit from Shikhar 'Gabbar' Dhawan at the bowler's end in a flash. KXIP 58/3 in 7.1 Overs

20.30 IST: Chris Morris to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR! 50 up for Punjab! Morris over-corrects his line and ends up bowling it too straight at 142.4 kph.

20.28 IST: Chris Morris to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR! This time Sarfaraz threads the gap on the off side. He reaches out for a length delivery outside off and crunches it past the left side of the cover fielder. No stopping this one.

* Physio is out! Hopefully, nothing is serious with Mayank Agarwal. He has been in amazing form of late and his presence is vital for the hosts. Seems fit to continue now. Meanwhile, Chris Morris is back on.

20.27 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Mayank Agarwal, Direct hit but Mayank Agarwal is declared safe by the square leg umpire! Back of a length ball on middle, Agarwal glances it off his hips in front of square leg and scampers back for the second run. A direct hit from the deep fielder but Mayank is in. He though seems to have hurt his hamstring while stretching for the run.

20.24 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR! Rabada returns and is welcomed with a boundary. Wrong line from the South African speedster. He is on the pads and Khan flicks it behind square leg for a boundary.

* Kagiso Rabada switches ends.

* Sarfaraz Khan walks in at number 4, replacing Curran.

20.20 IST: Sandeep Lamichhane to Sam Curran, OUT! Plumb in front! Lamichhane roars back to dismiss Curran. He delivers a leg spinner in the flatter trajectory and lands it around middle and leg. Sam should have been forward to this but decides to play it across the line from the back foot. But the ball spins back in slightly to catch him on the pads. KXIP 36/2 in 3.5 Overs

20.18 IST: Sandeep Lamichhane to Sam Curran, SIX! High and handsome! Sam Curran is doing his job efficiently. This time he runs down the track to a googly and hammers it over the bowler's head for a maximum.

20.16 IST: Avesh Khan to Sam Curran, FOUR! The change in angle won't work if you keep providing width outside off. Curran drives again, nicely through the line and threads the gap between mid off and extra cover. Khan under immense pressure. KXIP 27/1 in 2.5 Overs

* Colin Ingram is miked up. Says that the plan is not to bowl just one length consistently, probably try mixing the lengths. Adds that Avesh is probably not bowling short because square leg is up. Smiles on being asked about the Super Over the other night and says that he will remember that game for a long time...

20.14 IST: Avesh Khan to Sam Curran, FOUR! Two in two. This is why Sam Curran is sent up the order. Khan offers width yet again. It's outside off and this time Curran goes aerially over covers for a boundary. KXIP 23/1 in 2.3 Overs

20.13 IST: Avesh Khan to Sam Curran, FOUR! Lovely shot! Avesh feeds some room to Sam and he punches onto it outside off. Plays a rocketing extra cover drive for a cracking boundary.

* Avesh Khan is into the attack, replacing Kagiso Rabada.

* Mayank Agarwal is the number 3 batsman.

20.09 IST: Chris Morris to Lokesh Rahul, OUT! It's clipping leg! A very unfortunate dismissal for KL Rahul as it's a 50-50 decision from the umpire. Morris gets a full ball to angle down from the middle stump line. Rahul tries flicking but misses and wears the ball on his pads. They appeal and the finger goes up. Rahul quickly takes the DRS thinking it's missing the stumps but to his dismay, the replays show that the umpire's call will stand. A big breakthrough for Delhi as KL was looking in a dangerous mood. KXIP 15/1 in 1.5 Overs

20.07 IST: Chris Morris to Lokesh Rahul, SIX! Rahul getting into the act here! Morris digs in a short ball around leg, KL immediately gets back to ride the bounce and pulls it massively over fine leg. Last time it was a quiet beginning from Rahul but this time he has started in a brisk manner.

20.04 IST: Chris Morris to Lokesh Rahul, FOUR! Great timing from KL! Morris drifts down the leg side, Rahul picks it off his pads and delightfully flicks it in front of square leg. Once again the ball speeds away to the fence in no time.

* Chris Morris comes into attack

* Who will share the bowling attack from the other end? A spinner or a pacer?

20.02 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Lokesh Rahul, FOUR! Rahul is away with a fine shot! The line is very straight from Rabada, Rahul just uses the pace and gently directs his flick shot through mid-wicket. Harshal Patel gives the race but the outfield is very quick and the ball crosses the rope. KXIP 4/0 in 0.3 Overs

20.01 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Lokesh Rahul, Starts with an inswinger. Lands it on a good length and outside off. Rahul shoulders arms and Pant collects it on one bounce.

19.58 IST: Time to play the game! KL Rahul and SAM CURRAN are the openers for Punjab. Delhi are beginning with the fiery pace of Kagiso Rabada. All in readiness. Here we go...

19.49 IST: Punjab's skipper, Ravichandran Ashwin feels that the two games won by them have been complete team efforts and he is pleased with how his boys are playing. He reckons that conceding 40 runs in the last 4 overs is not a lot, also says it is something that he would take every single time and not be too worried about.

19.47 IST: Delhi's skipper, Shreyas Iyer says that he thinks the wicket is a really good one to bat on and hence wants to chase, especially with the firepower in his side. Informs us that there is a single change to his team with Avesh Khan coming into the side in place of Amit Mishra. He reserves special praise for Kagiso Rabada who was the star with the ball in the Super Over last time around. Also states that he is excited about the talent that Sandeep Lamichhane possesses and expects him to continue performing well like he did in the previous match.

19.43 IST: PITCH REPORT - Ian Bishop is the pitch expert and he says firstly that there is a good covering of grass which will provide nice pace and bounce here in Mohali. He mentions that the ground is not equal in dimensions on both sides and one side is much bigger than the other. He mentions that the usage of the short ball against Gayle will be important to get him out. States that Kagiso Rabada holds the key and has to make the big Windies opener hit towards the longer part of the boundary, whilst also mixing up his lengths.

19.39 IST: BIG NEWS - Chris Gayle is not named in Punjab's Playing XI! Andrew Tye is also sitting out. These are the two changes for the home team. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Sam Curran are making a comeback.

19.38 IST: Delhi Capitals line up is out and only one change in their squad, Avesh Khan comes in for Amit Mishra.

19.33 IST: Battle between the two skippers is on:

19.30 IST: Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer win the toss and opts to field against Ravichandran Ashwin's Kings XI Punjab
