Delhi Daredevils won their first match of IPL Season 4 as they defeated Sahara Pune Warriors by 3 wickets in a closely contested high scoring match. Delhi Daredevils captain Virender Sehwag won the toss and put Sahara Pune Warriors to bat. Jessie Ryder scored a blazing 60 runs of merely 27 balls and Yuvraj Singh played a brilliant innings of 66 runs off 32 balls as Pune Warriors reached a mammoth total of 187/5 in their 20 overs.

After the opening partnership, they kept on losing wickets at regular intervals mainly due to a brilliant bowling spell by Yuvraj Singh (4 wickets for 29 runs) but they managed to reach 190/7 in 19.2 overs mainly due to some last minute efforts by Venugopal Rao (31 runs off 20 balls), Aaron Finch (25 runs off 12 balls) and James Hopes (13 runs off 4 balls). Pune skipper Yuvraj Singh was awarded the Man of the Match for his brilliant all round performance though he had to be on the losing side.

In Match 32 of the IPL T20 season 2, Adam Gilchrist won the toss and put Mumbai Indians to bat. Deccan Chargers could only reach 145/6 in 20 overs with the help of useful innings from Rohit Sharma (38 off 36 balls), Venugopal Rao (28 off 17 balls) and Adam Gilchrist (25 off 29 balls). It seemed to be an easy chase for the Mumbai Indians but it seemed that the Mumbai Indians batsmen had got habituated to the art of choking every time they took a start. Even a valuable half century by J P Duminy (52 off 48 balls) and Pinal Shah (29 off 19 balls) could not save them from a defeat as the whole Mumbai Indians lineup tumbled and could reach only 126/8 in 20 overs. The special feature of the innings is that Rohit Sharma took the second hat-trick of IPL T20 season 2 as he bagged the wickets of Abhishek Nayar, Harbhajan Singh and J P Duminy in consecutive deliveries. After the hat-trick he also took another wicket leaving only one ball in between. The best bowling figures for Deccan Chargers were of Rohit Sharma, R P Singh and Tirumalsetti Suman with figures of 4/6, 2/19 and 2/14 respectively. Rohit Sharma was awarded the Man of the Match for his valuable innings of 38 runs off 36 balls and his bowling spell of 4 wickets for 6 runs in 2 overs.
