Delhi Daredevils and Chennai Super Kings are both probable winners of IPL T20 season 2 and so this match was expected to be a cracker. Virender Sehwag won the toss and decided to bat. Both Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir went out cheaply and it seemed Delhi was not in its usual song today. But then AB de Villiers (105 off 54 balls) hit the first century of IPL 2 and Tillakaratne Dilshan hit 50 off 27 balls to guide Delhi to the highest score of IPL T20 season 2 till now. Delhi Daredevils scored 189/5 in 20 overs giving a seemingly impossible to total to chase of 190 runs. Balaji shone with the ball with 3/19 in his 4 overs. But Chennai Super Kings bounced back very well and with brilliant innings from Matthew Hayden (57 off 27 balls) and Suresh Raina (41 off 27 balls) the match became very competitive. However, they lost too many wickets and they finished at 180/9 in their 20 overs. Pradeep Sangwan and Danniel Vettori shone with the ball with 3/28 and 2/29 respectively. AB De Villiers was awarded the Man of the Match for his blistering century.
