IPL: Kings XI Punjab set Dehli 105 to win

CAPE TOWN: Delhi Daredevils bowler Daniel Vettori picked three crucial wickets to restrict Kings XI Punjab for 104/7 here on Sunday.

Punjab openers Karan Goel and Ravi Bopara fell in quick succession after the duo gave a sensational start to the team.

Karan butchered Delhi bowlers and made 38 runs before Yo Mahesh struck to dismiss him.

Put in to bat first by Delhi, Bopara and Karan started their '12 overs a side' game confidently and made 67 runs for the first wicket.

Karan, taking cue from his partner, also went on to smack the Delhi bowlers. In his quick fire knock of 38 runs, Karan hit three fours and three sixes.

He was looking to launch one from Mahesh into the crowd but the ball took the top edge of his bat and was taken by Vettori at mid-off.

Vettori was soon introduced and the Kiwi skipper proved his utility quickly as he caught Bopara plumb in front to the middle stump. He struck two massive sixes during his knock of 22 runs.

Vettori soon struck again to remove Sri Lankan batsman Sangakkara, who tried to go for the pull over the short fine leg region but found Dirk Nannes there. He could add only 8 runs.

Punjab skipper Yuvraj Singh played a couple of sixes before he was run-out by Vettori. Yuvraj made only 16 runs.

The shot off Avishkar Salvi's last delivery had more elevation than the distance and was taken successfully by Dilshan. link...
