Delhi Daredevils beat Deccan Chargers by 6 wickets
Delhi Daredevils
Deccan Chargers
Delhi have done superbly to reach 150/4 in 18.4 overs against Hyderabad and have now broken their opposition's unbeaten record with this 6 wicket victory. They are now joint top of the table on points. Sehwag and Gambhir failed again and when AB DeVilliers fell as well, things weren't looking good. Dilshan, continuing his blistering form, hit a superb 52 not out off 46 deliveries to take his team home. An excellent 41 from Karthik was vital for his team's success as well. It was a good, solid chase and will do wonders for Delhi's confidence. Shoaib was the pick of the bowlers, taking 2/20 in his 4 overs.
The Man of the Match has been awarded to Dirk Nannes for his figures of 2-16 in his 4 overs.
