Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 192/3 (20/20 ov) - Delhi Daredevils won the toss and elected to field
On Saturday, in the 27th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Pune Warriors after being put in to bat, have amassed a massive total of 192 runs for the loss of three wickets at the end of their innings against Delhi Daredevils in a match being played at Feroz Shah Kotla, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780.
Being the number-one team in the current tournament with four wins from five outings, Delhi definitely have an edge in the match against Pune, a team which has secured three wins from six games and is placed at fifth spot in the points table.
Choosing to field first, Delhi skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, said, “Delhi crowd is superb and they came even last year even though we didn't do well. It's a good track to bat on but it will remain same. We chased in the last couple of games so we want to bowl first. KP was tremendous in the previous game and hopefully we can continue.”
Pune on the other hand, knew that after being put into bat on a good wicket they would have to bat their way to dominance by amassing a stiff total on the board to halt the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 in the ranks of Delhi, who can be a bit handful on a given day against a good total.
However, they lost their first wicket with only 26 runs on the board as opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-Uthappa-c2356 was sent off after scoring 10 runs.
Nonetheless, after this wicket, the Warriors bounced back with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 taking the fielding side head-on and smashing the bowlers all around the park, giving fans of the home team something to ponder over as they grew desperate to see the demise of the lethal partnership.
With Ryder fancying 86 runs and Ganguly hammering 41, the Warriors were finally able to give Delhi a target of 193 runs to win in 20 overs.
Delhi will now have to bat with a solid plan in order to chase down this massive total and retain their top spot in the league.
