Venue:Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi
Date: April 11, 2010
Time: 4:00 pm
Toss: Delhi Daredevils elected to bat.
Result: Punjab won by 7 wickets
Man of the match: P Chawla
Delhi Daredevils won the toss and elected to bat first against Kings XI Punjab. Delhi Daredevils got to the worst possible start and lost Sehwag in the 2nd over. This triggered the fall of wickets as none of the Delhi batsmen could offer any resistance to the bowlers of Kings XI Punjab. Wickets kept tumbling one after the other and it looked like Kings XI are playing against a local team rather than Delhi Daredevils. Kings XI showed superb fielding and bowling to restrict Delhi Daredevils to a paltry total of 111/10 in 19.4 overs. This is so far the worst performance by Delhi Daredevils as only two batsmen could score in twenties (26 each). Now Delhi Daredevils can only hope that the bowlers produce a magical spell to restrict Kings XI.
Needing 112 to win, Kings XI Punjab started off cautiously but confidently. Kings XI Punjab were playing for pride and the bowlers had already did a splendid job. Now it was batsmen turn and they also did not let them down. Kings XI top order played well in this low scoring match and eventually they won it by 7 wickets in 18.4 overs.
