Shreyas keeps Punjab's charge alive

After the strategic break, Delhi Capitals had managed to stay in the contest with a few tight overs, but Shreyas Iyer continued to set the tone for Punjab Kings.

Madhav Tiwari was into his third over, and Cooper Connolly started steadily with a sweep for a single. Shreyas then soaked up a couple of deliveries before opening up with a crisp boundary, before rotating strike with ease. It was a controlled, composed over from Punjab, finishing at 7 runs as they reached 140 for 2 after 14 overs.

Mitchell Starc returned next, and Connolly responded in style -- defending the first ball before smashing a towering six straight down the ground. He followed it with a single, while Shreyas kept things ticking with smart running. Punjab added 9 runs in the over, moving to 149 for 2 after 15 overs.

Then came Lungi Ngidi again, still without spin in the attack. Connolly wasted no time, welcoming him with a clean boundary, stepping forward and sending it into the stands. The rest of the over was smart accumulation with singles, but the damage was done -- 13 runs came off it.

At the end of 16 overs, Punjab Kings were 162 for 2, with momentum firmly back in their hands and the finish line coming into view.
