That's all we have for you from commentary. Thank you for joining us, hope to see you for the first double-header this season tomorrow. Goodnight
Amit Mishra is Man of the Match in his 100th IPL game. "I think nothing much to say. Just trying to take wickets, I got success, really happy today. Wicket was on the slower side, little effort needed to spin the ball. I wanted [to bowl the fourth over] but I supported the captain. We worked hard on batting and bowling and fielding, and it came out very well on this game. We hope to do good work in later matches too"
"It was required. The win was required for us. Happy with the way we put our efforts on the field. It was a good toss to win," Zaheer Khan says, "The energy out there was fantastic. We want that young energy, you want to see that energy on the field and very happy with the way the boys threw themselves around. We kept taking wickets, Mishra was really good. We want to build momentum at the right time, let everyone express themselves freely. We are playing RCB in a couple of days, and this will will definitely help"
11.00 pm So an early night for us then. Delhi Daredevils' openers were a tad nervous at the start. They were 28 for 1 at the Powerplay, but with only 112 to chase, there was never any pressure on them. Quinton de Kock anchored the innings with a strokeful fifty - gets a pat on the back of his head from the opposition captain and his South Africa team-mate David Miller. Amit Mishra, though, was the match-winner tonight with his 4 for 11 from three overs.
"Exactly, not enough runs. Quick turnaround on Sunday, had a few chances on the field, the guys out their bodies on the line. Massive difference, momentum gets broken when you lose quick wickets. Have to look at the batting line-up," says Miller.
Aman: "Bizarre captaincy by Miller. Took off Sandeep Sharma after a wicket maiden and never bowled him again. Took off the seamers when they were doing well, brought on spinners who were by and large leaking runs, but kept them going. Lack of experience and nous showing?"
shortish on middle and leg, pulled to deep square leg
goes against the spin, but he had reached the pitch of the ball and therefore doesn't have to worry about the risk. Lashes a flighted delivery over cover
on the pads and Negi plays a neat little leg glance to get off the mark
Pawan Negi's been pushed up the order again
Jarin: "Dravid for president!!!!" ---- And there ends that debate
he's missed a straight one. Samson hared down the pitch and looked to slap one down the ground. But Axar bowled it quicker and flatter, it sneaks below his bat and knocks the stumps
shortish and outside off, patted into the covers
flighted on off stump, driven to long-off
shortish and angled across the left-hander from around the stumps, de Kock glides it behind point
gets down the track to knock a good length ball to long-on
malli: "Yes, Dravid for coach is more interesting topic than watching this match..!! My vote is yes..!"
avi: "I object. Dravid hasn't done anything special with A or U19 teams. We may consider Chandrakant Pandit who has done a fine job with Mumbai ranji team." ---- Eh, The A team beat Australia and South Africa in a tri-series and the U-19s played the World Cup final
moves around the stumps to the left-hander too, but it was a terrible ball. Banged in short and down leg, de Kock swivels on the back foot and pulls it high over the long leg boundary
Vignesh Nambiar: "Farouque: Match will be over before the constructive discussion can start :P"
another slower, shorter delivery outside off, Samson runs it to deep third man
worked to long leg
swings from the hip and this pull shot was enough to beat the deep midwicket fielder. Didn't even care there was a man there. Hit it in the air, even with protection on the boundary
picked up the slower ball and launches it down the ground. It was overpitched on middle and de Kock lifts his back foot up, keeps his front foot straight and presents a straight bat
a little wide outside off and Samson had to reach out as he plays a cover drive
Mitchell Johnson to have a go, from around the stumps. Miller's given him a slip
flighted on off stump, de Kock comes forward to defend and gets an inside edge to midwicket
Faruque: "Alagappan! Lets start a constructive discussion. Should Dravid become India's next coach or team director considering the large amount of test cricket scheduled for the team? "
comes down the track and drives to long-off
pushed into the covers
another short ball, but this time he can't pierce the off side ring
and this one shows his power. Short ball with some width, Samson goes back and punches through point
