Indian Premier League - 1st qualifying match

Delhi Daredevils v Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders won by 18 runs

1.6

Shakib Al Hasan to Warner, OUT, appeal for inside-edged and catch..That was round the stumps, spinning into the batsman, it loops up and is caught by the keeper. Replays show that the ball hit the pads, the bat hit the pads but the bat and the ball did not make any contact, so not exactly a great decision by Doctrove.

DA Warner c †McCullum b Shakib Al Hasan 7 (6b 0x4 1x6) SR: 116.66

Delhi Daredevils 24/1   V Sehwag 10* (6b 1x4)   Shakib Al Hasan 1-0-9-1

2.1

Balaji to Sehwag, OUT, edged and gone! Two wickets in two balls, Delhi in trouble, outside the off stump, swinging a little away, tries to cut away to point, gets an outside edge through to the keeper

V Sehwag c †McCullum b Balaji 10 (7b 1x4 0x6) SR: 142.85

Delhi Daredevils 24/2   NV Ojha 0* (0b)   L Balaji 1.1-0-10-1

10.2

Bhatia to Ojha, OUT, cut away and to the point fielder! Slower, very short and that could have been spanked away for a four, instead, he hits it straight to the fielder and Gambhir has an easy catch!

NV Ojha c Gambhir b Bhatia 28 (28b 4x4 1x6) SR: 100.00

Delhi Daredevils 83/3   DPMD Jayawardene 26* (21b 4x4)   R Bhatia 1.2-0-11-1

14.4

Iqbal Abdulla to Jayawardene, OUT, McCullum almost makes a crucial fumble but Mahela was so far out that he had time to recover and take the bails off. Massive, massive blow for Delhi. Mahela charged the left-arm spinner but Abdulla followed him and cramped him for room. Mahela swung across the line but missed and he was several steps out of his crease, giving McCullum plenty of time to gather the ball after the brief fumble. McCullum didn't actually drop the ball, just juggled it. A rare lapse in judgement from Mahela and it's cost him

DPMD Jayawardene st †McCullum b Iqbal Abdulla 40 (33b 6x4 0x6) SR: 121.21

Delhi Daredevils 108/4   Y Venugopal Rao 10* (14b)   Iqbal Abdulla 3.4-0-23-1

16.5

Kallis to Venugopal Rao, OUT, Venugopal's struggle ends, and he has struggled. Kallis banged in another short ball, the batsman backed away and tried to swat over the off side. The top hand came off the bat and he mis-timed it tamely in the air to cover

Y Venugopal Rao c Bhatia b Kallis 13 (22b 0x4 0x6) SR: 59.09

Delhi Daredevils 120/5   P Negi 8* (5b 1x4)   JH Kallis 2.5-0-17-1

18.5

Kallis to Taylor, OUT, caught at deep backward square leg! The ball was fuller and straighter, on middle and leg, Taylor flicked it off the pads but he hit it low and in the air. The ball was dipping on the fielder on the boundary and he had to move forward and stoop to catch it

LRPL Taylor c sub (PJ Sangwan) b Kallis 11 (8b 0x4 1x6) SR: 137.50

Delhi Daredevils 133/6   P Negi 10* (9b 1x4)   JH Kallis 3.5-0-20-2

19.3

Narine to Negi, OUT, stumped. Negi steps out and moves outside leg stump to slog wildly. Narine slowed it up, beat the left-hander in the flight, and spun the offbreak past the bat. McCullum had time to break three sets of stumps

P Negi st †McCullum b Narine 14 (11b 2x4 0x6) SR: 127.27

Delhi Daredevils 142/7   IK Pathan 5* (2b 1x4)   SP Narine 3.3-0-22-1

19.4

Narine to Morkel, OUT, caught at cover! Narine's filling his bag here. Morkel goes back and slogs at a sharp offbreak, he slices it and the ball lobs to Bhatia on the edge of the circle

M Morkel c Bhatia b Narine 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Delhi Daredevils 142/8   IK Pathan 5* (2b 1x4)   SP Narine 3.4-0-22-2
