Delhi Daredevils vs Chennai Superkings (19th March 2010)

Result: Chennai Super Kings won by 5 wkts

It was nice entertaining match to watch. Delhi Daredevils started the innings in high note after winning the toss and the quick fired fifty from Sewhag. But some wickets in middle by Muralitharan had slowed down the scoring rate a bit. Daredevils are managed to score 185 in 20 overs. Superkings started their innings with some high shots of Haydos. Once changed his bat to new Mongoose bat, he belted sixes all around the park in the knock of 93. Raina played the captain innings of 49 and guided his team to 5 wickets victory over Daredevils.

Hayden is the Man of the Match for his superb knock of 93 and maximum sixes (thanks to Mongoose bat !!!). Justin Kemp gets the Kamaal catch award.
