Kings XI Punjab have beaten Delhi Capitals by 5 wickets. Just 14 were needed from the final three overs and ultimately it proved to be too easy for Kings XI Punjab, who complete their third game on the trot. KXIP: 167/5 (19 Overs)
Shikhar Dhawan's century has gone in vain, which will disappoint the opener.
20 October 2020, 22:45 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Glenn Maxwell has thrown it away. Right after hitting a huge six against Rabada, he couldn't contain himself and ends up looping the ball straight up. Rishabh Pant takes an acrobatic diving catch. KXIP: 148/5 (16 Overs)
20 October 2020, 22:42 PM
Kings XI Punjab need to score at less than 5 runs an over now. A few big overs have gone against the Capitals. Maxwell and Deepak Hooda are now at the crease. 24 needed from 30 balls. KXIP: 141/4 (15 Overs)
20 October 2020, 22:30 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! This can be a game changer. Rabada in his second spell removes the dangerous Nicholas Pooran. He had tried to leave it but the ball was too quick and by the time he could drop his shoulders, the ball takes the glove and goes straight to Rishabh Pant. Pooran departs for 53 off just 28 balls. KXIP: 130/4 (13 Overs)
20 October 2020, 22:19 PM
Nicholas Pooras has launched a fine counter-attack. He looks like a man on a mission right now. He has raced away to 36 off just 19 balls. He picks up 15 runs from Deshpande's second over and follows it up with a six and a four against Stoinis. KXIP: 101/3 (10 Overs)
20 October 2020, 22:02 PM
Another run-out chance goes begging. What are Kings XI doing in there ? He defends the ball against Ashwin and comes straight down the track but Maxwell doesn't move at all. Pooran tries to go back inside but it's a poor throw to keeper Rishabh Pant, who can't complete the run-out. KXIP: 72/3 (8 Overs)
20 October 2020, 21:57 PM
OUT!! HUGE WICKETS!! Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal depart in the same over. First the very dangerous looking Gayle is bowled by Ashwin and then in the very same over Mayank Agarwal is run-out after miscommunication with Nicholas Pooran. And it looks like Agarwal has injured himself. He hobbled off the field after getting out. What an over. KXIP: 57/3 (6 Overs)
20 October 2020, 21:47 PM
WoW. Chris Gayle. That brute strength. He hits 26 runs of Tushar Deshpande's first over. Two sixes and three fours came off that over and this is the universe boss at his very best. KXIP: 50/1 (5 Overs)
20 October 2020, 21:36 PM
OUT!! HUGE WICKET!! KL Rahul is gone. The Orange Cap holder is gone. Axar Patel takes the wicket. Rahul tried to go over the top of mid-on against Axar but hands a straight catch to Sams at mid-on. KXIP: 19/1 (3 Overs)
20 October 2020, 21:31 PM
Steady start from the seasoned Kings XI duo. Daniel Sams bowls a no-ball in the first over which Rahul graciously accepts with a huge six. The two are vary of Rabada though and safely negotiate his first over. KXIP: 13/0 (2 Overs)
20 October 2020, 21:27 PM
KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal will open the Kings XI Punjab innings against Delhi Capitals' Daniel Sams. KXIP: 0/0 (0 Overs)
20 October 2020, 21:21 PM
Delhi Capitals have posted a solid total of 164/5. It was ultimately Dhawan single-handely taking Delhi to that total but apart from Dhawan, Kings XI have done wonderfully well. They have pegged Delhi back. Only 7 runs come from the last over. DC: 164/5 (20 Overs)
20 October 2020, 21:16 PM
Innings Break!
An unbeaten 106 from @SDhawan25 as @DelhiCapitals post a total of 164/5 on the board.
Will #KXIP chase this down? Stay tuned#Dream11IPL pic.twitter.com/TeaKjw6qqx

He is the first player to have consecutive centuries in IPL.

Shikhar Dhawan has scored his second consecutive century. He thus becomes the first ever player to reach such a feat. He is making a joke of the 20 over format. He does so with a double against Arshdeep. Reaches the mark in 57 balls. DC: 157/4 (19 Overs)
20 October 2020, 20:56 PM
OUT!! Shami has Stoinis. Shami returns in his second spell to remove the dangerous Marcus Stoinis. It was a rising full toss but Stoinis makes a mess of it and Agarwal completes the catch. DC: 145/4 (18 Overs)
20 October 2020, 20:49 PM
Shikhar Dhawan is into the 80's now. He has raced away and played the KXIP spinners beautifully with some fantastic slog sweeps. He has been a rock for Delhi. He is taking on Ravi Bishnoi and Ashwin. The spinners have no answers to his brilliance. DC: 126/3 (16 Overs)
20 October 2020, 20:40 PM
Maxwell strikes!
Pant departs for 14.

5000* runs for @SDhawan25 in IPL.
He is the 5th player to reach the milestone and 4th Indian to achieve this feat.#Dream11IPL pic.twitter.com/ZOm1ix6ORm

OUT!! WICKET!! Rishabh Pant is gone. He came down the track against Glenn Maxwell and tried to castle one over the top but mistimes it and Mayank Agarwal takes an easy catch at long-on. DC: 108/3 (14 Overs)
20 October 2020, 20:32 PM
Shikhar Dhawan hits a fantastic slog sweep for six against Ravi Bishnoi to make his intentions clear after two good overs for KXIP. Rishabh Pant is just happy to rotate the strike at the moment. DC: 103/2 (13 Overs)
20 October 2020, 20:23 PM
Rishabh Pant is the new man in, He has been sent in early to get set early on then go big at the death. This is a good strategy from the Capitals' management. Dhawan, meanwhile, has gone from strength to strength and is now playing as the sheet anchor. These two left-handers need to stick around till the end. Maxwell and Bishnoi are now operating the bowling. DC: 90/2 (11 Overs)
20 October 2020, 20:18 PM
FIFTY!
Shikhar Dhawan brings up his 40th IPL half-century off 28 deliveries.#Dream11IPL #KXIPvDC pic.twitter.com/Y4sV9ITnkf
— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) October 20, 2020
Meanwhile, Dhawan reached his fifty right before Iyer's dismissal.
20 October 2020, 20:15 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Huge wicket! Skipper Shreyas Iyer is out caught behind to Murugan Ashwin. This is a very soft dismissal. The ball was going down the leg side and Iyer tried to flick it. The ball takes a faint edge and KL Rahul completes a brilliant caught behind. He falls for 14. DC: 74/2 (9 Overs)
20 October 2020, 20:04 PM
Shikhar Dhawan has raced away to 45 off just 26 balls and is playing smart cricket here. Ever since the powerplay ended, he has stopped going over the top. Skipper Shreyas Iyer is playing second fiddle to him. DC: 68/1 (8 Overs)
20 October 2020, 20:00 PM
Shikhar Dhawan is looking very good. He hits three fours off Shami's second over although he is very lucky as one of them took a thick edge and raced away to four. Iyer, meanwhile, started off with a brilliant six right after Dhaw's dIsmissal. DC: 53/1 (6 Overs)
20 October 2020, 19:52 PM
Neesham gets the first breakthrough.
Shaw departs for 7.

OUT!! WICKET!! Prithvi Shaw's dismal run continues. He is dismissed by Jimmy Neesham. It was a horrendous shot from Prithi and he pays the price. It was a wide ball at good length and Shaw heaves at it but the ball takes a thick inside edge and goes straight up. Maxwell takes an easy catch at extra cover. DC: 32/1 (4 Overs)
20 October 2020, 19:43 PM
Good start for the Capitals. Dhawan is in very fine touch and is timing the ball perfectly - he comes down the track and goes over the covers against youngster Arshdeep Singh. Shaw is struggling a bit and is looking edgy, coming into the game on the back of two ducks on the trot. DC: 25/0 (3 Overs)
20 October 2020, 19:32 PM
Wonderful start from Delhi. Shikhar Dhawan hits a four and then a brilliant six against Maxwell. Why didn't Kings XI start off with Shami against Shaw who has been dismissed early in his previous two innings ? DC: 13/0 (1 Over)
20 October 2020, 19:29 PM
Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw will open the innings for Delhi Capitals. Glenn Maxwell will open the bowling for Kings XI Punjab. DC: 0/0 (0 Overs)

One change for KXIP: They have brought in Jimmy Neesham in place of Chris Jordan.
Unless Jordan is injured, this is a poor decision. Kings XI need Jordan's expertise at the death.

Delhi Capitals have made three changes!
Rishabh Pant, Shemron Hetmyer and Daniel Sams come into the playing XI. They have replaced Alex Carey, Ajinkya Rahane and Anrich Nortje respectively.
We wonder why Nortje is replaced. We can only assume that he is either injured or rested.

Delhi Capitals have won the toss and will bat first against Kings XI Punjab.
