NEW DELHI: Delhi Daredevils managed to pull off their second win by beating Pune Warriors India by 15 runs at the SVNS International Stadium in Raipur yesterday.
Pune Warriors India put up a strong resistance against the Daredevils, with openers Robin Uthappa (37) and Aaron Finch (37) putting up a 76-run partnership for the first wicket. Both the openers found it easy to keep pace with the run chase.
However, Irfan Pathan gave Delhi Daredevils crucial breakthroughs when he dismissed both Uthappa and Finch.
Pathan had struck in his third over and took out Uthappa (37) first and Finch (37) three balls later. While Uthappa was out due to a brilliant catch by Unmukt Chand at the long leg region, Finch would consider himself unlucky after he was caught behind by the wicket-keeper off a delivery which came off his thigh pad.
Yuvraj Singh and Luke Wright managed to keep the Warriors’ run chase on track after the quick dismissals of the openers.
While Wright had scored 19 runs, Yuvraj had hit 31 runs in 24 balls with four 4s. AGENCIES
