IPL9 - Rising Pune Supergiants beat Delhi Daredevils by 7 wickets at Feroz Shah Kotla


Ajinkya Rahane carried his bat through till the last ball and continued with his fine run of form. His 63 unbeaten paved the way for a much needed win for RPS at Feroz Shah Kotla. The new team have been dogged by injuries to important players who had to withdraw midway.
This has been reported in sports.ndtv.com dated 6 May 2016.
M S Dhoni won the toss and opted to field and his bowlers did a good job, especially in the middle overs, to restrict the in-form Delhi Daredevils to 162 for seven. Subsequently, chasing the not-too-large total on a good track, RPS came home with 5 balls to spare. Rahane scored unbeaten 63 off 48 balls while skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni played a fiery 27 off 20 balls.
RPS continue to remain at number six in the points table but with four more matches to go, who knows whether they can get back into reckoning. T20 is, after all, an unpredictable game and anything can happen at any time to upsetr someone's apple cart.
The forthcoming matches for RPS are -

May 10 - vs Sun Risers Hyderabad at Visakhapatnam

May 14 - vs Kolkata Knight Riders at Kolkata

May 17 - vs Delhi Daredevils at Visakhapatnam

May 21 - vs Kings XI Punjab at Visakhapatnam
