slides on the pads and he sweeps wide of square leg to seal the win
Daredevils vs Kings XI, 13th match at Mohali, IPL, Apr 27 2008 - Match Result
Kings XI won by 4 wickets (with 3 balls remaining)
Quite an easy outing in the end. Preity Zinta is hugging everyone in sight. So Punjab pick up their second successive win and have given Lee and Katich a perfect send off. Delhi lost it early because they didn't quite get the start they were accustomed to. A couple of umpiring decisions bit them early on but couldn't quite push on. Katich led the way with a breezy half-century. As of now Punjab are at fifth position with 4 points.
We've had a few mails asking about our theater personality, Sreesanth. Yes, he's out on the field and looks sober!
Stay with us for the post-match presentation.
And yah, Preity hugs Yuvraj as he collects his maximum sixes award.
Sehwag: " Now everybody knows where they stand in this tournament. The middle order was tested. A lot of us were tested with the short deliveries." No hug for Sehwag. How sad...
Yuvraj: "We got the wickets at regular intervals. Lee and Pathan bowled good first spells. Having Mahela as the vice-captain has helped me out in the field."
Simon Katich is the Man of the Match: "It was the first time I faced Glenn McGrath in a match actually. Only faced him at the nets. I've thoroughly enjoyed the IPL. Hopefully we can get on a roll and win a few games."
That's it from us here. George Binoy will take you through the other match between Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers. Thanks for your mails. On behalf of Binoy George, this is Kanishkaa signing off. Cheers!
Preity still looks tense
tries to tuck it wide of midwicket but pushes it back to Malik
gets down and plays a neat defensive push to the covers

good stuff, he tucks him up with a short delivery and Lee has to hop to fend it off
dishes out a bouncer and Lee arches under it
pulls a short delivery on on leg but places it straight to deep midwicket
shapes to cut square on the offside but misses
charges down the track and tries to finish it off in style but gets a thick edge as he tries to club it past the bowler, Karthik leaps up and gathers it, Umpire Sivaram raises the finger after a while and Asif gives Pathan a bit of a send-off
take that! Asif pitches it short and Pathan swivels and pulls with intent past square leg, that just rocketed off the bat
full outside off, he pushes this to long-off
exposes his stumps and clubs it to long-off, Pathan makes a gesture to the umpires that there were only 3 fielders in the circle and umpire Sivaram duly signals that a no ball
closes the face of the bat and flicks this towards midwicket
pitches on middle, he nudges it off his pads to the on side
terrible fielding at the deep, Pathan cuts hard at a delivery wide outside off and Dhawan at sweeper cover over runs it and makes a mess of it
17 to get off 18
slices it down to backward point and retains the strike
slightly short, he punches it hard to Malik at short cover, Yuvraj is out of the crease and makes a despairing dive back at his crease, Malik doesn't throw

pushes this in the arc between mid-on and midwicket
