Delhi Daredevils Daredevils beat Wayamba by 50 runs
Wayamba
Delhi Daredevils
The Delhi Daredevils have completed a thumping 50-run victory against Wayamba Elevens. With that they have kept their hopes alive of qualifying for the next round of the tournament. They were propelled to a competitive target by Sehwag (66) and Karthik (61). Chasing 171 was never going to be easy. Wayamba Elevens needed a big partnership but they never got going. Nehra, Nannes, Mishra and McGrath bowled economically. Nannes picked up four wickets and McGrath surprised one and all with his pin-point accuracy on his return to the game after so many months. Jayawardena was the lone-warrior for his team with a fighting half century. Unfortunately no one stood with him to give the Daredevils a run for their money. Virender Sehwag is named Man of the Match for his lightning-quick innings of 66, which set the tone for a huge Delhi total. That's all we have for you today folks. Do join us for two more exciting games tomorrow. See you then. Goodbye.
