A fine cocktail of experience and youth delivered Delhi Daredevils their first victory of the season. The old boys - legspinner Amit Mishra, featuring in his 100th IPL match, and captain Zaheer Khan - led the way with the ball, smothering Kings XI Punjab to 111 for 9. The bowlers then ceded the stage to opener Quinton de Kock and Sanju Samson who added 91 together in 64 balls to put Daredevils on course. When Pawan Negi slugged Paredeep Sahu over the midwicket boundary for a six halfway into the 14th over, Daredevils won by eight wickets.
While Zaheer gave his team the early spark after choosing to bowl on what he called a "slow surface", Mishra pierced through Kings XI's middle order with dip, turn, and sometimes, even lack of turn.
