Ahsan : "While chasing KKR should bring Shakib and Narine in early batting order before DK and Morgan."
But despite that no-ball, Varun was very good again, just like all others, with no Knight Riders' bowler conceding more than 27 in his four overs. Join Shashank for the chase to see where this one goes.
Mavi says there is dew, and the score is chaseable.
Saksham: "I reckon DC are about 10 short, given KKR's attacking approach, and the fact that DC spinners are not as effective as KKR's"
7.43pm So Iyer hands around and ensures his side have something to defend. Nice cameo from Hetmyer in the end - and how much that no-ball wicket costs Knight Riders remains to be seen - as Capitals finish with 135. It is a slow, sluggish pitch as usual, and chasing wouldn't be as easy as the score looks.

Shivam Mavi to Iyer, SIX, the no-look six! And Iyer crashes that on to the roof, as the ball lands back downstairs after striking up. Iyer stays deep in his crease, and he gets a full-toss on middle and off, to which he presents the full face of the bat to crash it over the bowler's head for the maximum. A good final over for Capitals, with 15 off it

Shivam Mavi to Iyer, FOUR, whacks that between long-on and deep midwicket! The latter fielder, Tripathi, thought he had a chance after scampering to his left, but doesn't get a hand. The ball was full and in the slot on off, and Iyer slammed that to the on side
Stays over to Iyer

Narine to Iyer, OUT, and Hetmyer is run-out! There was no run there, never! Iyer cuts this short delivery wide of off to Iyer at point, who throws bang to the keeper, who is close to the stumps to hammer the bails, with Hetmyer easily pretty short of his crease
SO Hetmyer run out 17 (20m 10b 0x4 2x6) SR: 170.00

Ferguson to Hetmyer, SIX, backs away, and just clears fine leg with that six! Heaves at that good length ball on middle, with his front leg out of the way and him playing from deep in his crease. A man was there on the fence, but the ball just about went over him
UmeshD: "How costly will that noball Varun bowled be?" --- Hetmyer will tell.

Varun to Hetmyer, 1 no ball, Gill takes a brilliant catch at long-on! But, but, but... the umpire checks for the no-ball, as replays show Varun's foot is just inside outside the line. It is given not out after a long delay and a number of replays. Hetmyer, who had gone back and was sitting in the dressing room already, rushes back smiling and punching the gloves of his partner. He fetches that full ball outside off, and goes down on his back knee to try and swing that away to the on side. But the ball doesn't come off well, as Gill has to go low after taking a few steps forward to take it. The ball for once seemed to have been popping out of his hands, but was safe in the end. And all this, for nothing eventually since it is a no-ball

Varun to Hetmyer, 2 runs, fullish in length on middle, and he closes the bat face to clip that to deep square leg. Quick two is gobbled
