Shikhar Dhawan 106 *
Shreyas Iyer 14
Mohammed Shami 2/28
End of 20: A good ending for Mohammed Shami. Give away only 7 races in the last over of tickets. He also picks up Shimron Hetmyer’s wicket on the last ball. Delhi capitals end 164/5 with Shikhar Dhawan undefeated at 106.
100 for Shikhar Dhawan!
What a performance this was from the first Delhi Capitals game. Consecutive ton of him and what a show it has become of him today. He becomes the first hitter in IPL history to hit back-to-back tons. He enters his second century of IPL with just 57 balls, including 12 fours and 3 sixes. Dhawan’s sensational effort! DC 150/4 after 18.4 overs.
17.3 overs: OUT! Marcus Stoinis who was looking for the limit has passed away. Slam the ball up and Mayank Agarwal completes an easy catch from the middle. Mohammed Shami strikes at a crucial moment. Eliminate dangerous Stoinis by 9. CC 141/4
End of 16: 9 Ravi Bishnoi runs over including a first ball limit. Shikhar Dhawan is at 82 right now with just 47 balls and is looking for his second IPL. What a blow it has been on their part in recent games. With Dhawan in the middle, DC should definitely be looking at 175+ from here. Powerful hitter Marcus Stoinis is with him right now. DC 126/3
14.3 overs: FOUR! Shikhar Dhawan continues to impress with his energetic performance. This time, sweep Murugan Ashwin down to the deep fence in the middle of the gate. DC 114/3
13.4 overs: OUT! Glenn Maxwell attacks in his last over. Rishabh pants hits it directly on the ground but does not time the ball correctly. Mayank Agarwal in long-on is not wrong. Pant falls for 14 of 20 balls. DC 106/3
100 for Delhi Capitals and 5,000 runs for Shikhar Dhawan at IPL. Shikhar Dhawan reaches the milestone with a massive six from Ravi Bishnoi in depth.

End of 12th plus: After a Ravi Bishnoi 7 run, Murugan Ashwin follows with a brilliant 4 Bishnoi run to continue from the other end.
Halfway!
Another great gift from Glenn Maxwell. 9 runs from it including a boundary. Midway through, DC looks solid. Although they have lost Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer, the races have been flowing thick and fast for them. Dhawan is hitting wonderfully right now and is now joined by Rishabh Pant, who has come in after missing 3 games. DC 83/2 after 10 overs
8.3 overs: OUT! Murugan Ashwin breaks the dangerous partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Shikhar Dhawan. On Ashwin and Iyer’s pads he tries to run well but the goalkeeper KL Rahul take a good shot on the side of the leg. Iyer leaves at 14. DC 73/2
FIFTY! Shikhar Dhawan brings up his 40th IPL half century with 28 installments. # Dream11IPL #KXIPvDC https://t.co/Y4sV9ITnkf

50 for Shikhar Dhawan!
Follow your 100 against CSK with a quick 50 against Delhi Capitals. He reaches his 40th IPL with fifty of just 28 balls. What a start this has been from Dhawan.
End of the seventh time: An orderly start from Murugan Ashwin. Only 5 since your first change. DC 58/1
End of Powerplay!
A decent start from Delhi Capitals even after losing Prithvi Shaw early. Shikha Dhawan (35 * of 20 balls) has looked sublime and captain Shreyas Iyer (9 * of 5) is providing perfect support from the other end. ST 53/1 after 6 overs.
50 for the capitals of Delhi
Shikhar Dhawan 34 * Exit 19
Shreyas Iyer 7 * of 3
DC 50/1 after 5.3 over
4.5 overs: FOUR! FOUR! Shikhar Dhawan is dealing with borders at the moment. Picking up where he left off in the last game against CSK. This time he hits Mohammed Shami for consecutive limits. The first went straight to the ground and the second just over the head of goalkeeper KL Rahul on the side of the leg. DC 44/1
End of 4th ending: SIX! A six from Shreyas Iyer to end Jimmy Neesham’s first over. Outside outside and Iyer throws him over the fence for additional cover. DC 32/1
3.1 overs: OUT! Prithvi Shaw’s losing streak continues. This time, he tries to clear the field on Jimmy Neesham’s outside side, but only wields the tip of his bat. Dodge the ball and Glenn Maxwell completes an easy catch in the extra coverage. Shaw falls in love with the 7. DC 25/1
2.5 overs: FOUR! Shikhar Dhawan sets off. Take a couple of steps down the court and hit Arshdeep Singh’s delivery over the fielder for extra coverage. The ball runs to the fence. DC 25/0
2.3 overs: FOUR! Short by Arshdeep Singh and Prithvi Shaw goes for the hitch. He dons a glove and the ball passes over KL Rahul’s head towards the fine leg fence. DC 20/0
End of the second round: An orderly start from Mohammed Shami at the other end. Only 3 since your first change. Arshdeep Singh now replaces Glenn Maxwell. DC 16/0
End of 1st.: An expensive start from Glenn Maxwell. 13 since his first over including a four and a six. Mohammed Shami to share the new ball with Maxwell from the other end. DC 13/0
0.2 over: FOUR! Horrible of Nicholas Pooran at that point. Just a simple push from Shikhar Dhawan off Glenn Maxwell and the ball went straight to Pooran. Kings sloppy start. DC 5/0
Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are in the middle to start the Delhi Capitals entries. Glenn Maxwell has the new ball in hand for Kings XI Punjab. Shaw to face the first ball. Here we go!

Captains to the draw!
KL Rahul: I would have liked to go bowling first. Especially since we have done it in the last two games. The effort and character that the boys have shown in the nine games has been really great. We did more of that in the last game and getting those two points was important. A change: Neesham enters for Jordan.
Shreyas Iyer: We will hit first. We have been very successful in doing so. We need to maximize our power play and come up with a good total. We had a dramatic game in our last match against them (KXIP), and they are also coming off a game with two Super Overs. We have to follow our routines and rush out. Players return from injuries. Three changes: Pant, Hetmyer and Sams enter.
Shreyas Iyer wins the draw and #DC will hit first against # KXIP. # KXIPvDC # Dream11IPL https://t.co/88SVAE5LHP
