IPL - 40th Match - Delhi DD v KXI Punjab - Delhi Batting (Kings XI beat Daredevils by 6 runs)

Invaluable unbeaten cameos from Mahela Jayawardene (36) and Luke Pomersbach (25) helped Kings XI Punjab beat Delhi Daredevils by six runs via Duckworth-Lewis system in a weather-truncated Indian Premier League tie here on Saturday.

Chasing a revised target of 123 in 11 overs, the Punjab side batted braving light drizzle early in their innings and eventually finished at 94 for three in eight overs when play was suspended with the visitors six runs ahead of the hosts.

Jayawardene's 17-ball 36 included three sixes and two fours, while Pomersbach's 25 came off 12 balls.

Earlier, Sehwag slammed an unbeaten half century as Delhi Daredevils finished on 118 for four in 11 overs. Sehwag's brief violent knock included two fours and five sixes, while Gautam Gambhir chipped in with a 28-ball 40.
