Another nine runs off the over, when the required run rate was a little more than seven. Over 3: Nehra strikes twice in his second over, packing up both DD opners CM Gautam and Mayank Agarwal. On a length around off, Gautam looks to go big but ends up giving an easy catch to Bravo at mid on who makes no mistake and takes the catch with ease.
