At Durban, May 13, 2009 (floodlit). Delhi Daredevils won by 12 runs. Toss: Deccan Chargers.
Delhi Daredevils 173-7 (20 overs) (T. M. Dilshan 37, A. B. de Villiers 44, K. D. Karthik 44*);
Deccan Chargers 161 (19.4 overs) (A. C. Gilchrist 64, A. Symonds 41; P. Sangwan 3-18, R. Bhatia
4-15). Delhi Daredevils 2 pts. Man of the Match: R. Bhatia.
Sehwag returned to the Delhi fold after missing the previous four games due to injury, but he was
hardly needed as the in-form trio of Dilshan, de Villiers and Karthik ensured a big total. Deccan's
Aussie heavyweights Gilchrist and Symonds led the chase, but two little-known Indians, 18-year-old
left-arm paceman Pradeep Sangwan and the medium-paced all-rounder Rajat Bhatia, dismissed
them and went on to wrap up victory.
