Kochi Tuskers took sweet revenge on Delhi Devils by defeating Delhi queit comfortably today. Earlier a brilliant show by pacers contained Delhi to a score of only 140 runs in 20 overs, thanks to brilliant bowling by all seamers ,RP Singh, Sreesanth, new man Prashant Parameswaran ( this tall man impressed every one by dismissing Sehwag cheaply in his first over and that was the turning point! ) and Vinay Kumar. Chasing 141, Brendon McCullum went berserk and and played all shots he likes, good support by Micheal Klinger and generous extras given by Delhi bowlers added fuel to the skyrocketing run rate which maintained at 10 per over. Later on, Brad Hodge’s classic shots along with little Parthiv Patel’s convincing smashes made Kochi’s win much earlier than expected. Kochi finished the game in style by scoring 141 in just 15 overs!
Feroz Shah Cortla stadium witnesed one of most bizzre games in IPL4. Eralier in the first innings, Vinay Kumar’s dead ball was hit for a 4 by Nagar, later on, Umesh Yadav’s bodyline no ball was sent for a huge six by McCullum and Mahela Jayawardene got run out during an LBW appeal !
Scores
Delhi : 140/6 ( 20 Overs )
Kochi: 141/3 (15 overs )
Man of the Match: Prashant Parameshwarwn ( debut match – he was signed only few days back by KTK, seeing his bowling at nets,Mahela got impressed and took him in the playing 11 for today! )
