| Pune vs Delhi |
Jesse Ryder clean bowled Sehwag in the tenth over to halt Daredevils rapid chase. Sehwag was in good touch as he hit six boundaries in his quick 23-ball knock.
David Warner (46) got run out trying to steal second run in the seventh over after he led the run-chase against Pune Warriors.
Warner started the Daredevils innings aggressively with his skipper Sehwag as they added 75 runs for the opening wicket. They raced to fifty in first five overs against Pune Warriors.
Warner hit two huge sixes and six fours in his quick-fire 28-ball innings.
Put in to bat, skipper Yuvraj Singh (66 not out) and Jesse Ryder (60) hit fifties to help Pune Warriors India post 187/5 against Delhi Daredevils.
Yuvraj used the platform provided by Ryder to launch the Warriors attack as he smashed five sixes and four boundaries in the final overs. Yuvraj raced to fifty in 30 balls in his 33-ball quick-fire innings.
Opener Ryder was on ominous form from the start as he hit five sixes and five fours in his 27-ball blitzkrieg before mistiming spinner Nadeem’s delivery in the tenth over. Ryder completed his fifty in just 24 balls.
James Hopes dismissed Manhas in the ninth over to break the dangerous partnership with Ryder. Manhas hit a six and a four in his 18-ball innings and added quick 54-run second wicket partnership with the Kiwi batsman.
Pacer Ashok Dinda struck in the fourth over to give the Daredevils early breakthrough. Smith hit two fours in his cautious 14-ball innings and added 28 runs for the opening wicket with Jesse Ryder.
Earlier, Delhi Daredevils skipper Virender Sehwag won the toss and elected to field against Pune Warriors India on Sunday.
At the bottom of the points table after losing the first two games, the Delhi Daredevils have to raise their game considerably against high-flying debutants Pune Warriors.
The Daredevils, led by swashbuckling opener Virender Sehwag, need to get their act together after two straight losses to Mumbai Indians at home and Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur to score their first points in the Twenty20 event.
Table toppers Pune, on the other hand, are sitting pretty after winning both their first two home games - the only unbeaten side so far in the tournament - with a measure of comfort.
Teams:
Pune Warriors India: Yuvraj Singh (capt), GC Smith, JD Ryder, RV Uthappa (wk), AA Jhunjhunwala, M Manhas, MD Mishra, R Sharma, SB Wagh, WD Parnell, AC Thomas.
