Kings Xi Punjab vs Delhi Daredevils – IPL 5 – Live Cricket Score and Update
Delhi Daredevils Indian pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Himachal-Pradesh-c791 Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, May 19, 2012.
Yadav removed the dangerous Australian duo of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mandeep-Singh-c74122 – his initial burst read 3-1-4-3. With the conditions again offering plenty of assistance to bowlers, it was hardly
a surprise when http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 opted to field first.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849. The pitch was difficult to read as put into frame by Mahela - opting to bank on his limited knowledge of the track, the previous game at the
venue, to get his bowlers early on the field and exploit the favourable conditions.
Gilchrist, fresh from his half-century against Super Kings, and Mandeep Singh started the innings but failed to emulate their heroics from a couple of days ago, and came unstuck against a rampant Yadav. He outshined Morkel and put in a commanding performance,
removing Mandeep on the first delivery he bowled.
Gilchrist was subdued early on and threatened for a while with two fours but soon fell to Yadav after failing to control a pull shot – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744 completing a good catch.
Morkel then got on the wickets column, getting rid of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Valthaty-c2170, whose attempted glide found the third-man fielder. Hussey came in but his stay lasted six deliveries before he top edged to become Yadav’s third victim of the day – the hosts reeling at
4 for 20.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Siddharth-Chitnis-c2525, managed to steady the innings. After playing cautiously, both men managed to gain some momentum – adding 57 for the fifth wicket. Chitnis finally became Andre Russell’s first scalp – departing for
a well made 38, which included five boundaries and a six.
The hosts will now be banking on Mahmood to ensure his side finishes the innings strongly, and keep their chances of making into the top four alive.
