Daredevils trip Super Kings (delhi daredevil innings last over 14 runs)

Skipper Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir put on a century partnership for the first wicket to power Delhi Daredevils to a commanding eight-wicket win against hitherto unbeaten Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament on Friday.

After restricting Chennai Super Kings, who won the toss and decided to bat first, for 169 for six in 20 overs, the Daredevils knocked off the runs in 19 overs after Sehwag (71) and Gautam Gambhir (50) provided them a solid start with a 115-run stand off just 68 balls.

For Super Kings, it was their first loss in five matches while Daredevils chalked up their fourth win.

The two teams, along with Rajasthan Royals are tied on eight points after five games apiece.
