    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, May 18 (CRICKETNMORE): &nbsp;<\/strong>Delhi Daredevils rode on late order blitzkriegs from Vijay Shankar and Harshal Patel to post a healthy 162\/5 against a disciplined Chennai Super Kings (CSK) attack in an Indian Premier League (IPL) tie at the Ferozshah Kotla here on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shankar (36 not out from 28 balls; 4x2, 6x2) and Patel (36 not out from 16; 4x1, 6x4) milked 26 runs off the final over from Dwayne Bravo to forge a 65-run sixth wicket stand -- the highest of Delhi&#39;s innings -- and rescue the hosts from a troubled start.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Put in to bat, Delhi were off to a sluggish start before losing in-form opener Prithvi Shaw off a run-a-ball 17 in the fifth over with the scoreboard showing 24 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shaw, who received a reprieve a couple of balls earlier when Shardul Thakur dropped a simple catch off Ravindra Jadeja, failed to cash on it and fell to Deepak Chahar with Thakur making no mistake this time around.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shaw&#39;s dismissal brought together the in-form duo of skipper Shreyas Iyer (19 from 22; 4x3) and Rishabh Pant (38 from 26; 4x3, 6x2) and the right-left combo forged a 54-run second wicket stand to stabilise Delhi&#39;s innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While Iyer played the more sedate innings, Pant looked at his aggressive best punishing veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh for two sixes and a four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But as things started going smoothly Delhi&#39;s way, South African Lungi Ngidi jolted the hosts by packing back both Iyer and Pant in a span of four deliveries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Back into the attack for his second over, Ngidi cleaned up Iyer with a skiddy short of length delivery before enticing Pant with a short ball, which resulted in a top edge into the safe hands of Bravo at third man.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Struggling at 81\/3, Glenn Maxwell and Shankar were assigned to resurrect the innings but form continued to elude the Australian who found his leg stick walking with a straight delivery from left-arm spinner Jadeja.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Delhi immediately lost another wicket in rookie Abhishek Sharma (2), whose top edge found the safe hands of Harbhajan at mid-on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With half the side back in the hut at 97, Patel joined Shankar to strike a few lusty blows to take the side past the 150-run mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shankar started slowly before picking Bravo for some special treatment over the fence before Patel joined the party in the final over by clobbering the West Indian for three maximums.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scores: Delhi Daredevils 162\/5 (Rishabh Pant 38, Vijay Shankar 36 not out, Harshal Patel 36 not out; Lungi Ngidi 2\/14) vs Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\r\n",
