Comprehensive wins for Delhi and RR!
I guess this is probably the most disappointing day(personally) in this season of IPL!I was lucky enough to miss the RR's pounding of King's XI bowlers and (more) unfortunate to see them(Punjab) go down without a fight in reply and (even more) bored right now which is the main reason I have started writing[typing :) ] already even as Gambhir brings up his fifty(DD Vs KKR) with a smack over long off!It seems like DD(121/1) is well in controll as they still need 35 off 26 balls![I guess I have to wait for the match to finish to finish off this post :)]
RR Vs Punjab
RR's top order finally got off to a good start(in their 8th match) and Smith and N.Ojha ensured that they make it up for all the poor starts earlier as the good (start) got better and better to even better(great?) as they put on 135 in 14.5 Overs and hit Punjab so badly before they could realise!Jadeja,Y.Pathan,Carsdeline who followed just carried on the good work with cameos as they went past 200(a 200 plus target for the first time in IPL2) to reach 211 in their alloted 20 overs!ts a forgettable reply by Punjab as they made 133/8 with Yuvi top scoring with 48 as he tried to get the net run rate up more than anything else as they once collapsed to 39/5 in the 8th over!
In the second match (which is still on,DD still cruising...) KKR choosing to bat got off to a better start making 58 in 7 overs before Mcculum fell for 35! Van wyk almost carried the bat making 74 off 48 balls before being cleaned up(bowled) by Nehra in the last over as they make 154!
Chasing 154 DD got off to a good start with Warner(36 off 23) and Gambhir and after Warner it was Dilshan who joined with Gambhir as they looked well in control throughout the chase and reached the target in the 19th Over itself!Yet another shoddy display by KKR in the field. So thats it!Another win and its Delhi's turn at the top of the table today as KKR still search for that elusive(second) win :) [ or should this be a sad smiley?] No offense KKR fans!
RR bt Punjab by 78 runs :(
DD bt KKR by 9 wickets
