Indian Premier League, 41st match: Delhi Daredevils v Kochi Tuskers Kerala at Delhi, May 2, 2011 Match Review, Result, Scorecard

The Kotla track has been everything from a batting beauty to a square turner this season, but though the pitch was neither of those extremes on Monday, Delhi's batsmen struggled to a sub-par total, and like generous hosts, their bowlers gave the visitors 18 extras to ease Kochi's path to victory.

Delhi's batting is hugely reliant on their two lethal hitters at the top of the order, Virender Sehwag and David Warner, and their early exit derailed the home side's innings. Sehwag swatted a couple of fours in the first over, and greeted the debutant Prasanth Parameswaran with a brutal hit for six in the third over. Three balls later, though, Parameswaran had a moment to remember, getting Sehwag caught behind. And when Warner pulled Sreesanth to long-on, Delhi were down to 42 for 2.

The arrival of Travis Birt spiced up things as he chipped in with a series of innovative strokes, scoring virtually all his runs behind the wicket. The highlight of the innings was his angled glide for four through third man, after he went down on a knee and initially looked to paddle the ball.


The openers were dismissed soon after, but with the asking rate at 5 and the likes of Mahela Jayawardene and Brad Hodge to come, the next half hour was more about completing the formalities. Jayawardene was run-out after a loss of concentration, before Parthiv Patel and Hodge killed off any Delhi dreams of a comeback with an unbroken 52-run stand.
The result leaves Delhi needing five wins in their remaining matches to reach the final four, and while Kochi moved up to eight points their route to the semi-finals isn't particularly easy either.

Result :
                 Kochi Tuskers Kerala won by 7 wickets (with 30 balls remaining)
Man Of the Match :
               P Parameswaran (Kochi Tuskers Kerala)
