Pepsi IPL 2013: Match 59: SRH vs KXIP:
Match Report:

Sunrisers Hyderabad took a step closer to making the Pepsi IPL Play-Offs with a 30-run win over Kings XI Punjab at Mohali. SRH, after posting 150 on the back of Parthiv Patel's 61, bowled brilliantly to restrict KXIP to 120.

Chasing 151, KXIP lost Mandeep Singh (0) early as Dale Steyn had him caught by Cameron White off a leading edge. Shaun Marsh got KXIP rolling with two boundaries off Steyn in the third over. Adam Gilchrist then slammed two boundaries off Ishant Sharma as KXIP made 41 from the Power-Play. Gilchrist was given a chance as Parthiv Patel missed a stumping opportunity off Vihari in the seventh over.

Darren Sammy, introduced into the attack in the eighth over, struck with two wickets in two balls as he had Marsh (18) caught in the deep by Thisara Perera before Gilchrist (26) dragged him onto the stumps. Sammy then had David Miller (6) caught by White at cover. At the halfway stage, KXIP were 54 for four, requiring 97 more runs.

Amit Mishra was taken apart for 18 runs in the 14th over as Rajagopal Sathish whacked two sixes and a boundary. Needing 58 from 30 balls, Luke Pomersbach was put down by Karan Sharma off Perera. Sathish (25), who was striking the ball well, was then run out by Perera, triggering a collapse. Piyush Chawla (0) departed soon after off Perera, before Steyn bowled Praveen Kumar (1). Harmeet Singh (3) and Parvinder Awana (0) fell in the final over as KXIP finished 30 runs short.

Earlier KXIP won the toss and put SRH in. Parthiv Patel was given a chance on 2 when Praveen Kumar couldn’t latch on to a touch opportunity on the line and tipped the ball over the boundary. Harmeet Singh got KXIP their first breakthrough as he caught Shikhar Dhawan (15) off his own bowling. Sandeep Sharma making his IPL debut then had Hanuma Vihari (5) caught at point. The debutant jolted SRH getting two wickets in the eighth over; he first trapped White (10) leg before, before bowling Biplab Samantray (0).

Sammy (0) was given out LBW off Piyush Chawla to leave SRH reeling at 52 for 5 in the ninth over. Patel was lucky again as Gilchrist put him down on 36 off Chawla. Karan Sharma (22) slammed a six and a boundary off Harmeet before falling the next over, top edging a pull off Parvinder Awana. Perera (32*) who was dropped by Mandeep Singh when he had a solitary run against his name, smashed a six off Awana and another off Kumar. Patel (61) joined in with a six off Harmeet before being run out in the 19th over. SRH made 150 for seven.

Man-of-the-Match: Parthiv Patel

Brief Scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad 150 for 7 (Parthiv Patel 61, Sandeep Sharma 3-21) defeated Kings XI Punjab 120 for 9 (Luke Pomersbach 33*, Darren Sammy 4- 22) by 30 runs.

Pepsi IPL 2013: Match 57 : DD vs RCB
Match Report:
Royal Challengers Bangalore got back to winning ways and a step closer to a place in the Pepsi IPL 2013 Play-Offs with a thrilling four run victory over the Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi.

RCB were led by their captain, Virat Kohli who scored a brilliant 99, before Jaydev Unadkat's five wicket haul sealed the match for the visitors.
Chasing 184, Mahela Jayawardene hit consecutive boundaries off Moises Henriques in the second over, before he hit two more off Ravi Rampaul in the second over. Jaydev Unadkat got the initial breakthrough as Jayawardene (19) dragged him back onto his stumps. Virender Sehwag dispatched R Vinay Kumar for three successive boundaries before Unadkat deceived him with a slower delivery and had him caught by Cheteshwar Pujara at mid on.

Unmukt Chand pulled Henriques for a six before David Warner (4) smashed him for a boundary. However the bowler came back strongly to breach through Warner’s defense to castle him. Syed Mohammad's first over went for 20 runs as Chand and Ben Rohrer picked up four boundaries. At the halfway stage, DD were 88 for three, still needing 96 runs.

Vinay Kumar sent back Rohrer (32) bowled off an inside edge leaving DD four down in the 15th over. Needing 61 from 30 balls, Unadkat struck twice to have Chand (41) and Kedar Jadhav (8) caught in the deep. Delhi Daredevils came back strongly as Vinay Kumar's 18thover went for 17 runs as Irfan Pathan and Morne Morkel picked up three boundaries from it. Pathan then hit two sixes off Rampaul leaving DD needing 19 from 6 balls. Despite a couple of blows from Morne Morkel (19) and Irfan Pathan, DD fell four runs short.

Earlier, DD won the toss and elected to field. DD struck early as Pathan had the dangerous Chris Gayle (4) play one onto his stumps. Morkel then had Kohli caught behind but much to his dismay it was off a no-ball. Siddarth Kaul was hit for two boundaries, before he struck timber to send back Pujara (17). Kohli was given another chance when he was dropped on 14 by Sehwag off Kaul.

Shahbaz Nadeem got DD their third wicket as he caught Henriques (26) off his own bowling. AB de Villiers launched Morkel into the crowd before Kohli smashed two boundaries in the 17th over. RCB then took apart Umesh Yadav for 24 runs, with three massive sixes. de Villiers (32*) at his improvising best swept Kaul for two boundaries before Kohli (99) slammed a couple of sixes and boundaries, taking 23 from the last over. The RCB skipper unfortunately was run out off the final delivery to become the first man to be run out on 99. RCB finished their 20 overs at 183 for four.

Man-of-the-Match: Jaydev Unadkat

Brief Scores: Royal Challengers Bangalore 183 for 4 (Virat Kohli 99, Shahbaz Nadeem 1-23) defeated Delhi Daredevils 179 for 7 (Unmukt Chand 41, Jaydev Unadkat 5-25) lost by 4 runs.
