Today in the 29th match of DLF IPL 2012, rain interrupted in the proceedings of the match and delayed it by 1 hour.

Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and chose to field first. K Sangakkara and S Dhawan opened the innings and scored 37 runs in 5.5 overs for the first wicket partnership. Sangakkara was the first wicket to fell after scoring just 12 runs. Patel was the next batsmen in and he along with S Dhawan took the team score to 81 before Patel got out. This wicket triggered the fall of wickets and every attempt by DC batsmen to increase the run rate failed. S Dhawan completed his 50 off 50 balls before getting out and thanks to superb bowling by Kolkata Knight Riders, Deccan Chargers were restricted to a modest total of 126/7 in 20 overs.

Chasing 127 to win and jump to third place in the points table, Kolkata Knight Riders lost B McCullum in the third over when the team score was just 16. Gambhir and Bisla then took the team score to 44 and Bisla got out leaving KKR at 44/2 in 7 overs. Needing another 83 to win from 78 balls, KKR looked completely in control but some good bowling by Deccan Chargers created some panic in the batting line up and KKR lost Gambhir and Yusuf Pathan in quick succession. J Kallis and Manoj Tiwary then took the team score past 100 and finally it was Manoj Tiwary who played till the end and ensured KKR win by 5 wickets.
