Man of the Match : Jacques Kallis
Delhi Daredevils were restricted to a modest total of 153 for 9 by some good bowling from Kolkata Knight Riders. Jacques Kallis with 2 for 20 in 4 overs and Sunil Narine with 2 for 23 in 4 overs did a tremendous job for KKR in keeping the Daredevils under a check.

Delhi got off to a promising start from Virender Sehwag (23 from 9 balls with 3 fours and a six) and David Warner (21 from 19 balls with 2 fours and a six). But both got out inside the powerplay and after that the momentum was lost by the hosts steadily. Mahela Jayawardene tried to repair things but got out in the 13th over for 30 (from 27 balls with 3 fours and a six).

In the end, Delhi got to 153 thanks to a crucial cameo of 36 (from 22 balls with 4 fours and a six) from Irfan Pathan.
