Daredevils win comfortably
Two straight wins for Daredevils and two straight losses for Deccan Chargers. Dardevils won this with an overwhelming 7 overs to spare. This will come and haunt Chargers in the final net run rate calculations.
Man of the match : Virendra Sehwag
DLF Sixers : Virendra Sehwag (6 Sixers)
Symonds bowls the costliest over of IPL
