Hopes finishes it off with a sliced drive over backward point! Good for the tournament that Delhi have pocketed their first win. Yuvraj shakes hands with Sehwag and pats him on the back with a smile

Abhi::"IPL Warning :: Don't score above 185 while batting first"
Sehwag: "It's a happy moment for us; finally we have a win. Yuvraj bowled and batted really well; I was hoping he wont bowl the over he did and take Finch out but he did! We knew this ground is smaller and you can hit sixes here. We thought the wicket would help the fast bowlers and so we played four fast bowlers. James Hopes did well. Venu gopal Rao was brilliant."
Yuvraj Singh is the Man of the Match: "You have to give it to Delhi; they played really well under pressure. We didnt take wickets in the first six and didnt bowl well in the end. Venugopal Rao batted really well in the end after Sehwag and Warner gave good start. I was thinking spinners in the end yes but in the end your main bowlers have to bowl well. You have to give them confidence."
That's it from us. Ta
Raminder: " Jesse ryder to owl last over......you got to be kidding me !!"
Game-breaking hit! Hopes has smashed this length delivery over the sightscreen!
The game refuses to die. Venugopal Rao, who has done so well here, clatters this short delivery straight to deep midwicket!
Venu is turning it on in style. He pulls this short delivery to fine-leg boundary. Super cool finish
What a whack! He took a step down the track, backed away to the leg in the process and absolutely creamed this one! He flat-batted this short of length delivery over long-on
just outside off, tapped to short third man for a single
slows up the pace further, fuller, driven to right of sweeper cover
Magical Yuvraj! Finch tries to back away and heave the slow delivery on the good length to the on side. The ball gently lobs back to Yuvraj! Finch gone after looting some quick runs
Yuvraj has a chat with Robin Uthappa and Jesse Ryder. He had given Parnell the ball but now has decided to bowl himself
length delivery on the off, Venu edges the slog but it falls safely at mid-on .. well beyond the reach of long-on fielder. 20 runs in that bonanza over
slower one this time, from round the stumps, forced away to deep cover
Wide this time! Wagh is crumbing under pressure here. he went round the stumps and hurled this wide outside off.
Blistering hit! A length delivery this time and Finch heaves it high over long-on! The game turns again
Another low full toss and Finch fetches it from well outside off and flays it over long-on
low full toss outside off, Finch makes contact with the bottom end of the bat and it falls well short of the fielder rushing in from long-off
full delivery wide outside off stump, Finch can't reach it
reaches outside off to steer this to point
D Ramapriya: "It isn't uncommon to find sluggish starters in tourneys morphing into formidable performers at the business end. I won't write off Pathan's usefulness just yet"
full in length, cut away to backward point for a single
moves down the track and flat bats this to long-on
tries to repeat that shot but its intercepted at extra cover
backs away to the leg side and forces this one through extra cover.
And again. he doesn't reach the pitch of the ball but tries to go through the line and edges it to square-leg
moves down the track but Yuvraj shortens the length; pushed back to the bowler
