Chasing a target of 192 for victory, the Bangalore Royal Challengers came very close but the solid efforts by Jacques Kallis (54) and Rahul Dravid (38) did not prove enough to take them home. In the end they were able to manage 181 for five, missing the target by 10 runs. For the Daredevils, Glenn McGrath claimed IPL's first four-wicket haul and guided his team to victory.
Batting first, Delhi Daredevils got to a flying start as Virender Sehwag scored a quickfire 24 runs off just 12 balls. After the departure of Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir (86 off 54 balls) and Shikhar Dhawan (50 off 33 balls) added 98 runs for the second wicket, which gave a solid platform to Delhi Daredevils innings.
