Pune beat Delhi in IPL

Rising Pune Supergiants added more spice to the race to the IPL 2016 Playoffs after they defeated contenders Delhi Daredevils last night, reports IPLT20.com. After restricting the Daredevils to 121-6, RPS were guided by Ajinkya Rahane’s calm 42 before rains forced a premature end to proceedings. At that stage, RPS were 76-1, found to be 19 runs ahead of the par score worked out using the Duckworth-Lewis Stern method.
Earlier in the evening, the Delhi Daredevils, put in to bat first, never really kicked into fifth gear mode. Runs came in trickles for most of the innings; if not for a flourish in the last three overs, the Daredevils wouldn’t have even reached the 100-run mark. It was a disciplined bowling performance all round from the Rising Pune Superigants bowlers.
RPS’ run-chase was interrupted on two occasions –first time for nearly an hour and the second occasion which brought an early closure. Despite losing Usman Khawaja in the fourth over, Rahane held his end and played some exquisite shots in his 36-ball 42. At the end of the 11th over, the rains came down hard and brought an early closure to proceedings.
