Delhi Daredevil’s first match and the third match of IPL T20 season 2 was against Kings XI Punjab and it was expected to a very competitive and high scoring match. Both the teams have some great hitters and even both the captains Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh are regarded as two huge hitters of the cricket ball. But the match was heavily delayed as rain decided to play spoilsport. The match had to be reduced to 12 overs after several rain disruptions. Then Kings XI Punjab side were attacking from the very beginning and with brisk contributions from Karan Goel (38 off 21 balls), Ravi Bopara (22 off 16 balls) and Yuvraj Singh (16 off 11 balls) then managed to reach 104/7 in their 12 overs although their last few overs were not great. Sehwag (38 off 16 balls) and Gambhir (15 off 13 balls) came as the openers of the Delhi team and they started playing their natural game hitting boundaries and sixes. It was then that rain decided to play spoilsport once the target was revised to 54 in six overs. Sehwag continued with his hitting and the Daredevils completed the target within 4.5 overs. Daniel Vettori was declared Man of the Match due to his spell of 3/15.
