IPL2015 – Virat Kohli’s men rout Delhi Daredevils on their home turf at Kotla

#IPL2015 #MitchellStarc #ChrisGayle #DDvsRCB #Yuvraj It was a game that J P Duminy & Co would like to forget because, batting first, they could not post even 100-runs in spite of having a talented batsman like Yuvraj Singh in their squad as reported in cricbuzz.com dated 26 April 2015.

Mitchell Starc was the demolition-in-chief for Royal Challengers Bangalore – he had taken 3 for 22 against Rajasthan Royals in the last match and in this match against DD, took 3 for 20. As a result, the home team was out for 95 runs in 18.2 overs. They could not even play out the full 20 overs. It was a disappointing performance in front of their home crowd who had turned up in large numbers to cheer their team on.
RCB scored the required runs in 10.3-overs with Chris Gayle hitting 62 runs off 40 balls and Virat Kohli hit 35 off 23 balls to take their team to a well-deserved win, thanks to the RCB bowlers who foiled all chances of DD making a comeback.
Virat Kohli had won the toss and had decided to bowl first and his bowlers justified the faith he had in them. The loss of Delhi Daredevils was their fourth one in seven matches.

IPL8 – Delhi Daredevils win against Sun Risers Hyderabad at Vishakhapatnam

#IPL8 #DDvsSRH #jpduminy #coulternile #mayankagarwal #vishakhapatnam It was another thrilling finish to the IPL8 encounter between Delhi Daredevils and Sun Risers Hyderabad at Vishakhapatnam when Coulter-Nile, one of the best death bowlers in the world, conceded just 5 runs when the SRH needed 10 runs to win.
SRH fell four runs short of the target of 168 and DD won the encounter even though Yuvraj Singh failed to click yet again.
This has been reported in cricbuzz.com dated 18 April 2015.

It was actually J P Duminy, captain of DD, who helped his team to their second straight win. He had powered Delhi Daredevils to 167 for seven hitting a 41-ball 54 and backed that up with four wickets for just 17 runs in his three overs.
Chasing 168 to win, the SRH raced to 50 without loss in six overs before Duminy removed Warner (28) and Dhawan (18). However, Ravi Bopara (41 off 30 balls) was playing superbly when Duminy removed him and, later Eoin Morgan. Then it was Coulter-Nile to apply the finishing touch to give DD its second win. The fantastic saving by Mayank Agarwal also played a significant role in the win.

CSK shows why they are the best in IPL – denies DD a win

#IPL8 #CSKvDD #jpduminy #yuvrajsingh #albiemorkel Playing on home ground is always fun and CSK would have cut a sorry figure if DD had won their opening match of IPL8 in Chennai. But, the game finally went CSK’s way and they beat DD to the punch in an exciting finish at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai. This has been reported in www.cricketbuzz.com dated 10 April 2015.
J P Duminy, the new captain of Delhi Daredevils, won the toss and chose to field first. His strategy was to restrict CSK to a reasonable total and then chase it down. His strategy would have succeeded but, ultimately, it ended with a last ball finish with the match going CSK’s way.

For DD, neither Yuvraj Sigh nor J P Duminy could make any impression and, thanks to the 5 ball 73 hammered by Albie Morkel, a win was within grasp but it slipped way. The last over was thrilling. With 14 required off the last three balls, Morkel first hit a big six over midwicket. Then he ran two to bring down the equation to six runs off the last ball.
CSK had, by then, their heart in the mouth as Morkel swatted the full delivery towards long-off for a boundary and DD fell short by one run.
Earlier, DD did a fine job to restrict CSK to 150 runs when it seemed that they would have notched up nearly 200. Leg spinner Nathan Coulter-Nile was instrumental in keeping CSK in check - his terrific death bowling managed to keep CSK to a chaseable total.
