END OF OVER:
20 | 25 Runs 1 Wkt | DC: 174/9 | RR: 8.70

  • Abishek Porel32 (10b)
  • Harshal Patel4-0-47-2
  • Arshdeep Singh4-0-28-2

From Shiva Jayaraman: ESPNcricinfo's Forecaster had DC's chances of winning at 38.9% at the start of the 20th over. The ended their innings with 56.7% win probability

Tarun: "Amazing knock from Porel, how big was that first six?" 99 metres

Abhishek Porel has played a lovely cameo right at the end to give DC a score to bowl at, but they will still feel they are below par. They went nowhere in their middle overs, losing wickets regularly, but Porel has given them a fighting chance. Porel says he knew he could be needed because the wickets were falling. So he was ready to bat should he be needed. He says he wanted to react to the ball and not pre-meditate. He says this is now a good score, and backs his side's bowling. Will it be enough, though? Find out with Ekanth in a bit

Stat from Sampath: Fourth instance of Harshal Patel conceding 25 or more runs in an over in the IPL, joint-most by any bowler alongside Shivam Mavi.
