Hence at end of 16 overs ... Resource Clock was against Delhi slightly

But the next 3 overs Delhi took charge, sometimes helped by sloppy fielding. 

Robin Uthappa's misjudging an easy catch of Manhas in the fifth ball of the 17th over was extremely crucial; what should have been a dot ball/wicket was four runs conceded instead.  Further compounded next ball by a misfielding by Appanna to let go another boundary. 

Delhi Daredevils managed their "Batting Resources" very well...they were ahead of the Resource Clock for 16 overs out of the 19 completed.
