After the wait over 2 hours, Umpire Asnani and Dharmasena decided to go in for the match, which was reduced to 12 overs a side. With the rain and Duckworth Lewis system in thought, Virendra Sehwag made no mistake in winning the toss and putting KKR into bat first.
Though Kolkatta Knight Riders Started off pretty well, but the yorkers of Mornie Morkel spoiled the early party for SRK fans and his team and eventually, KKR managed to put 97 runs on the board in allotted 12 overs.
In reply to win , Delhi Daredevils started off really well and Aaron Finch was the man whose bat did the talking keeping Sehwag at the other end. At one time, Sehwag was only at 3 runs of his 3 balls when Finch was 27 off 18 balls.
And, final strikes from Irfan Pathan with his unbeaten innings of 40 runs with 3 big sixes cruised Delhi for a comfortable victory over Knight Riders.
