Delhi Daredevils began their Champions League Twenty20 campaign on a winning note, beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 52 runs in the match that was played at SuperSport Park, Centurion, on Saturday, October 13.
Impressed by his side’s collective effort, Delhi skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397 said, “We wanted to start the tournament well, be aggressive. Everybody showed that. Unmukt batted really well. He showed a lot of maturity. We were probably 10-15 short, but the bowlers came along superbly. Useful attack in these conditions, but we still have to do the job everyday. Very good start, but we have to keep it going."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-Pathan-c1601, who was named as the Man of the Match for taking two wickets in his four overs said, “Getting wickets early on is nice. Credit should go the batsmen. They played really well, especially Unmukt. Swinging is my strength. I am trying to get better every day. Good tracks. Slightly uneven today. Any bowler will want to bowl here."
Kolkata, who chose to field first made inroads with 36 runs on the board when SP Narine dismissed Jayawardene for 21.
The partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 looked threatening, as the duo, took the score to 58 before Sangwan nabbed Sehwag for 22.
Pietersen, who desperately needs to give a big performance in the tournament to make way for his selection in the national squad was next to find his way off the field, as he was dismissed after scoring 14 runs.
U Chand and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 then hammered 40 and 36 runs before their side was annihilated by the opposition before posting 160 on the board.
Kolkata had a terrible start to their run chase, losing four wickets with only 24 on the board. This despicable performance put KKR on the back foot.
MK Tiwary put up a strong resistance for a while, taking the score to 71 alongside R Bhatia. The partnership ended with Tiwary falling after hammering 33 runs.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Bhatia-c82926 scoring 22, KKR could post only 108 for the loss of seven wickets as they lost the match by a large margin.
