Twenty20 match | 2009 season
Played at SuperSport Park, Centurion (neutral venue)
28 April 2009 - day/night (20-over match)


Delhi Daredevils innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
G Gambhir	c Warne b Mascarenhas	8	6	1	0	133.33
2.3 fuller and moving away, Gambhir bit casual, drives and gets the outside edge and Warne at first slip dives to his left to take a wonderful catch. 20/1
V Sehwag*	c Kamran Khan b Mascarenhas	16	11	2	1	145.45
2.6 Shewag too falls, as he mishits the ball high in the air to mid-on, Kamran Khan calls for the catch and takes it well. That ball went so high that Karmran had to wait for ages for the ball to come down. 25/2
AB de Villiers	lbw b Warne	50	40	5	1	125.00
15.2 and Warne strikes, floats up the delivery and pitches outside the leg stump and de Villiers looking for the slog sweep, misses it and gets hit on the pad, loud appeal and given, de Villiers is unlucky. 105/5
TM Dilshan	c Asnodkar b Patel	7	10	1	0	70.00
5.5 Another one bites the dust! Short delivery on the stumps and Dilshan pulls it away high towards deep midwicket. Asnodkar runs around and nicely settled under it. Royals on top here 38/3
KD Karthik†	c & b Warne	4	5	0	0	80.00
7.2 And he strikes straightaway! flighted delivery on the middle and leg stump line, Karthik looks to turn it away on the leg side but fails miserably. Ball clips the leading edge and lobs back, Warne moves forward few steps and takes it comfortably. That's the end of that 49/4
DL Vettori	b Patel	29	28	3	0	103.57
18.3 makes room and Vettori misses a full toss, Munaf strikes the middle stump. 135/6
M Manhas	not out	23	16	2	1	143.75

A Mishra	b Kamran Khan	0	4	0	0	0.00
19.5 makes room and looks to take the cover off the ball, Mishra back away too far and Kamran Khan breaks the stumps. 142/7
PJ Sangwan	not out	1	1	0	0	100.00

Extras	(lb 3, w 1, nb 1)	5

Total	(7 wickets; 20 overs)	143	(7.15 runs per over)
