Chasing 193 to win, Delhi lost M Jayawardene in the third over leaving them at 12/1. But Virender Sehwag and last match star K Pietersen played some good cricket to take the team score to 87 before Pietersen got out after scoring 32 off 23 balls. Irfan Pathan was promoted up the order to tackle the rapidly increasing run rate but this did not worked in Delhi’s favor as he also got out after scoring just 15. V Sehwag was the next to get out after scoring a brilliant 57 off 32 balls. This wicket gave Pune a ray of hope to come back into the match and they made the most of it restricting Delhi to 172/7 in 20 overs and thus registering a thumping win.
