IPL 2019, KXIP vs DC: Kings XI Punjab beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs

C Morris to M Agarwal, Lovely timing, not in the gap. Mayank shows that he has been in prime form with that shot. Reaches out for a full ball and strokes it through the line. Finds Colin Ingram at cover-point. Eventful second over, 10 runs and the all-important wicket of KL Rahul from it.

Mayank Agarwal is the number 3 batsman.

C Morris to L 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 dangerous mood.

Rahul has been adjudged LBW! But he has taken the review straightaway. Inside edge? Missing leg? Let's see...

C Morris to L 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.

C Morris to L Rahul, Straighter ball, turned off the pads but to mid-wicket.

C Morris to L 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.

C Morris to L Rahul, Starts with a length ball on middle, at 137.4 kph, Rahul defends it off his back foot to mid-wicket.

Who will share the bowling attack from the other end? A spinner or a pacer? It's Chris Morris.

K Rabada to L Rahul, Nearly a catch to Avesh Khan at deep backward square leg. Rabada sprays a very full delivery down the leg side, KL flicks it in the air and is lucky that it doesn't carry to the fielder in the deep. A single to end the first over.

K Rabada to L Rahul, Sharp delivery, Rahul keeps it out on the off side safely.

K Rabada to L Rahul, Good length ball on off, angling in, Rahul defends it from the back foot to the off side.

K Rabada to L 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 chase but the outfield is very quick and the ball wins the race.

K Rabada to L Rahul, Yet again a delivery is in the zone outside off, Rahul watches the line closely and then makes another leave.

K Rabada to L Rahul, Starts with an inswinger. Lands it on a good length and outside off. Rahul shoulders arms and Pant collects it on one bounce.

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...

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.

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.

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.

TOSS - Shreyas Iyer calls it correctly and DELHI WILL FIELD!
