Daredevils won by 5 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)
It wasn't a big total but Punjab made a good attempt to defend it but were thwarted by the gritty Gambhir and Mithun Manhas who stayed till the end to take them home.
That's it from us. Thanks for logging on. Good bye and good luck.
high full toss around waist-high, swatted to long-off.. Maharoof says it was surely above waist.. the umpire is checking with the tv ump ... not a no ball says the tv ump ... one run left
fullish on the middle and leg, backs away to edge the drive to right of midwicket where Powar makes a diving half-stop
Is there a final twist yet in the tale? Gambhir backs away to the leg side, Irfan tries to follow him, serves a full toss on the leg stump line, Gambhir tries to swing it to the on side and gets a leading edge to mid-off.
around the off stump line, pushed to point for a quick single.. it needed a direct hit but Bopara misses the stumps
Irfan, who dropped that catch last over, to bowl
short in length, bounces outside off, Gambhir tries to run it to third man but no wood on leather
What a stunning hit. The delhi camp erupts in joy. Gambhir backs away to lift it superbly over long-off and boy is he pumped or what .. he lets out a scream
fullish on the leg and middle stump line, flicked away for a single
Whack! Bravo Mithun! He rushed down the track to crash the length delivery to wide long-off boundary
yorker arrives now.. dug out back down the pitch
Dropped by Irfan at long-off. What a clanger! It was the slower one and Manhas ended up scooping it high towards long-off where Irfan makes a right royal mess of it
Abdulla to bowl
on the middle stump line, good tight line and length ,swatted to midwicket for a quick single
Cramps for Gambhir? He is down on the ground, takes off his pad and gets some treatment ... he ran really hard for the second run there and must have cramped up. Play held up.
short in length, bounces over middle, stump line, mistimes the pull towards long-on and since the ball traveled slowly, Gambhir pushes for the second run
swing and a miss. Length delivery shaping away from the off stump, Manhas can't connect. Two good overs so far ...
good swinging full delivery, curves in full on the middle stump line,, again jabbed off the inner edge to square-leg
Inside edge to the boundary. Gambhir clears the front foot and went for a big swing across the line .. not a judicious attempt but he gets lucky
run out chance missed Manhas dabbed to point and got across for a single.. Had Kaif hit the stumps at the non-striker's end , Manhas would have been out
slows up the pace, Manhas works this one to long-off for a single. Good over from Yuvraj
flicks this straight to midwicket and gets across for the quick single
full and outside off stump, again mistimes the shot to cover .. two dot balls in a row ..
