Hodge went for a duck in the same first over caught by deVilliers. Wyk and Saha were the other two to get out for a duck.
Only Ganguly stayed and played sensibly. What else a person can do when the wickets were falling at one end with the balance overs coming down at the same time. Ganguly fell in the 17th over caught by Warner of Nannes for 44 which came off 45 balls that had 1 four and 2 sixes.
Agarkar helped KKR cross 100 with his quick knock. KKR touched 100 in 17.5 overs. KKR ended with 123 on the board. Agarkar was out on the last ball of the innings, scoring 39 off 29 balls.
DD had no problems in chasing such a simple target. Though Sehwag is still not available, Warner is filling his place accurately as a batsman and better as a fielder.
Gambhir and Warner added 53 for the first wicket. Gambhir lost his wicket to Henriques for 18. The next two wickets fell quickly with DD were 69 for 3 in 9 overs. deVilliers and Karthik did not panic as they took the team to the target.
Mishra was given the man of the match for his 3 wickets!
