After a poor run of 11 consecutive losses in Indian Premier League, the Delhi Daredevils team has finally ended their streak of losing and won convincingly against the mighty Kings XI Punjab. Kings XI opted to bat first and got off to a steady start but lost their way in the middle but ended well with 165 runs on the board. On the other hand Delhi bowlers bowled well in patches and did well to restrict a strong batting line up to a good score.
As Delhi Daredevils came into to bat, they got off to flier, thanks to Mayank Agarwal but lost Iyer and Duminy under 10 over’s. Once again it looked like Delhi Daredevils are on the verge of making the record for consecutive losses in IPL but Yuvraj and Mayank had different plans and their partnership of over 100 runs ensured that they registered their first win in IPL after 11 disappointing games.
