At Kolkata, April 7, 2010. Kolkata Knight Riders won by 14 runs. ‡Kolkata Knight Riders
181-3 (20 overs) (S. C. Ganguly 56, C. H. Gayle 40, A. D. Mathews 46*); Delhi Daredevils 167-8
(20 overs) (V. Sehwag 64, G. Gambhir 47). MoM: S. C. Ganguly.
Ganguly played the winning hand
here: first with a calm half-century that was a perfect foil to the aggression of Gayle, then in the field
where, showing uncharacteristic agility at mid-off, he smartly picked up a firm stroke and ran out
Gambhir to break a stand of 99 with Sehwag and stymie the fightback.
