Delhi Daredevils beat Kolkatta Knight Riders comfortably by 7 wickets
10/05/09: Gautham Gambir should be a happy man that his interim Captaincy in the absence of Shewag for Delhi Daredevils paid successful results for the second time. On Sunday, Delhi Daredevils sailed safe to the winning target of an easy 124 runs, set by Kolkatta Knight Riders, in 17.1 overs. Gautham Gambir (18) and David Warner (36) made a solid-start with an opening stand of 53 runs. Though TM Dilshan failed with his bat to score just 1 run, AB deVilliers (40 n/o) and Dinesh Karthik (17 n/o) took care of the team, with their good batting knocks to post a winning total of 125/3.
Earlier Delhi Daredevils won the toss and put KKR to bat first. Opener Brenden McCullum (6) perished for an lbw decision (though not conclusive as per TV replay) for an Ashish Nehra delivery. Brad Hodge, Morne van Wyk, and Wriddhiman Saha returned to the pavilion with ducks. Sourav Ganguly (44) and Ajit Agarkar (39) put up a good show, but could not help the team getting a poor total of 123/8.
Leg-spinner Amit Mishra took 3 wickets and was adjudged Man of the Match.
