Delhi Daredevils' innings opened up in the fourth over when Isuru Udana, whose slower balls and good length deliveries got a little predictable, got hit for three boundaries.
A frantic call for a single cost Virender Sehwag his wicket but the innings never lost momentum, thanks to Dinesh Karthik who was already well-set. In the 19th over, slogged Ajantha Mendis for three consecutive sixes over the leg side.
Mahela Udawatte swung at thin air and lost his middle stump to Dirk Nannes while Michael Vandort was bowled by same bowler after making a start with two impressive boundaries
