THe thing I dislike most about the IPL is that edges carry for 6.
 
Sehwag coming into match with two ducks. avoided the 3rd straight one as the edge to thirdman missed the player by few feet.

bad fielding going on. one player didn't attempt to catch the ball and instead missed the ball too and it went for four. now another misfield
 
Sehwag with 2 sixes and a four to end the over
Dehli 68-0 after 6 overs
 
Sehwag hits his 5th six. moves to 47 off 19 balls
rain stops play
Dehli 94-1 after 8.1 overs

bad news

It's pelting down. Spectators in the unprotected stands are scurrying for cover. It looks like a full house. The ground really was buzzing a while back. Too bad about the current situation.
 
How is Pretty Zinta doing? Modi is not there today as he was at the other game so who is taking care of her

This is called massacre. He just tore into them. Nobody seems to learn the moral.. "Don't give Sehwag second chance" :p

shucks, I want to see moooore

May be some cricket left in this match yet!

10.25: We have an update. Umpire Jayaprakash says both teams have lost at least two overs each. He reckons this could be a 16 overs-a-side game. The rain has stopped and the covers are off, the groundstaff are busy getting the outfield ready. Play could start in the next 15 minutes, after the umpires inspect the field. The cut-off time is 11.40 PM (after which the match will be called off) but that's still a long way off.
 
Match has been reduced to 13 overs a side.
 
10.34: News is that the match has been reduced to 13 overs-a-side. Play will start at 10.40. Three bowlers can bowl three overs each while two bowlers can bowl a maximum of two.

10.37: Great Snakes! The covers are coming back on. So much for short thrills.

The amount of time where its just time to come back onto the field and it starts raining again!

It always happens!
 
If Delhi don't bat anymore, Punjab will be chasing a target of 62.

62 off 13 overs or even 8 overs??? that is robbery.
 
Play is on again!

11 overs a side now

Field restrcitions will apply for 3 overs wen Punjab bat

Sid V makes a hilarious observation in a five-over scenario: "Middle overs (between 1.3 and 3.1) will become formulaic and boring."

He adds: "11pm, 11 overs, 11 men .. Oceans 11."

Malik has 1 ball to make his mark, and gets 1 run (better then maharoof!!!!!!!!!)
 
So Punjab will require 123

Hopes final over (2 wickets and 3 runs could prove crucial!)

what a joke and embarrassment ..

surely they could have extended play or just resumed tomorrow morning to complete the massive 40 overs in this match.
 
We've been informed that Punjab will chase a revised target of 123 in 11 overs...Apparently there's a mild drizzle.

One bowler can bowl a maximum of three overs while four can bowl a maximum of two each.
 
This drizzle has suddenly picked up, the game will go on for the moment though. The wind has thrown the bails off and Dinesh Karthik's cap

Players will probably go off (knwoing the umpires) only for the wind to blow the clouds away and for it to stop raining 2 minutes later!
 
Punjab needs 55-0 or 56-1 or 56-2 at 5 over mark in case game gets called off after 5 overs
 
BIG WICKET!!
The man in-form Marsh goes, Sangwan gets a wickets off his first ball, 3-1
 
great job there by Malik. It looked like his catch but Dhawan wanted it. So he supported Dhawan while he grabbed the catch
 
Yuvraj does something captain Dhoni couldnt, comes up the order and hit a 4 and 6 in his first 2 balls!
 
Well he's done the job 12thMan!! After 2 6s off balls 4 and 5, and final ball of the over gets the HUGE wickets.

Singh gone, 30/2
 
and Yuvi hits McGrath for couple of sixes. Malik has to do it all today. He has done it in batting and fielding now has to donate more in fielding and bowling
 
Another one gone!! Malik gets the catch, Hopes gone 31/3
 
Malik Cheetah ran from midwicket to long on and took a bombastic catch. M's are in action lead by Malik - McGrath, Maharoof and Mishra
 
4.3 Sehwag to Jayawardene, FOUR
4.2 Sehwag to Jayawardene, FOUR
4.2 Sehwag to Jayawardene, 1 wide, slides wide down the legside
4.1 Sehwag to Jayawardene, FOUR, fires it quick outside off, he makes room and deftly glides it wide of short third man

Jayawardene on a mission!:120:
 
22 runs off the last Sehwag over!! If Delhi lose, it'll be because of this over
