Kings XI vs Daredevils, 10th match at Pune, IPL, Apr 15 2015 - Match Result
Daredevils won by 5 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)
Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you (we will be back tomorrow). Until then, goodbye and good night.
Mayank Agarwal, Man of the Match: I am extremely happy and I want to thank my team. The plan was to keep wickets in hand and see off the new ball. After last year, it is good to be part of a winning side.
JP Duminy, DD captain: I am pleased with the performance. We have not won a lot of games, this gives us confidence. Great to have Yuvraj in the team, great to have him performing. Mayank Agarwal is an exciting talent. I back the spinners to do the job.
Manoj: "Looking at this close finish, the turning point is Agarwal taking on Johnson's last over and getting 18 of it"
Subhanshu: "Finally Delhi Devils have something to cheer about !!!"
Another last-over finish for Delhi, this time they find themselves at the right end. Agarwal and Yuvraj set the up the chase with fifties. Yuvi briefly wound the clock back to his heyday, executing those lofted drives and wristy pick-up shots. DD then had a late wobble at the death, losing both set batsmen and Jadhav in a space of six runs and eight balls, but Mathews steered his team home.
George Bailey, KXIP captain: The surface was alright. A lot of guys got 20s and 30s and did not convert. Every time we get momentum, we lose a wicket. Davey [David Miller] has shown himself versatile enough not to do that. The batsmen will have to play according to the situation. I thought we got enough but we dropped a few chances. At the moment it is not happening for us.

two in two for Anureet. This is a soft, soft dismissal. Full toss outside leg as Mayank steps away. Instead of mowing it away, he misses. The ball brushes the front pad and disturbs the stumps. The off-bail is tipped off
Mathews... but they had crossed over
Yuvraj goes deep in the crease, but holes out for 54. He has done his job for DD, though. This was very full from Anureet on off, Yuvraj shuffles across a bit, goes deep in the crease and swings it. Sandeep runs in from deep midwicket, keeps his eyes on the ball, dives forward and pulls off a superb catch. The umpires check for a no-ball and Anureet is okay, Yuvi has to go
