At Delhi, April 4, 2010. Delhi Daredevils won by 37 runs. ‡Delhi Daredevils 184-5 (20 overs)
(D. A. Warner 33, V. Sehwag 35, P. D. Collingwood 75*); Royal Challengers Bangalore 147-9
(20 overs) (J. H. Kallis 54; A. Mishra 3-32, P. Sangwan 3-22). MoM: P. D. Collingwood.
Collingwood
consolidated the early momentum of openers Sehwag and Warner, stealing the limelight with a
wonderfully paced innings, which included seven sixes. Delhi's total proved enough on a placid
pitch which favoured the slow bowlers: leg-spinner Amit Mishra became the holder of the purple
cap for most wickets (he had 14; the leading run-scorer gets an orange one) as Bangalore slipped
behind the required rate.
