It was Delhi Daredevils all the way on Tuesday. Sanju Samson’s swashbuckling 102 was followed by a Chris Morris blitzkrieg as the Daredevils notched up 205. In reply, Rising Pune Supergiant were abject, bowled out for just 108 to give Delhi a comprehensive win.
- In terms of runs, Delhi Daredevils’ 97-run win over Rising Pune Supergiant was their biggest-ever win in the Indian Premier League, ahead of their 67-run win over Rajasthan Royals in 2010.
- The Daredevils scored 76 runs off their last four overs, which is the third-most for any team in the tournament.
