Toss Kumar Sangakkara has won the toss and Deccan will field.

Twenty20 match - 2011 season - Indian Premier League, 60th match: Kings XI Punjab v Delhi Daredevils at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, May 15, 2011 day/night (20-over match)

Toss James Hopes win, wants to bowl. "It's been disappointing so far, but there is still time to try some things. Morne Morkel returns."

Gilchrist: "Both games last year were won batting second, we just have to assess the pitch as we go along. Bipul Sharma sits out."
15.30 The season hits the 60-game mark and reaches the scenic town of Dharamsala. "The past is the best prophet for predicting the future," says NS Sidhu in his pitch report. He says there the grass on the track will mean the ball will come on nicely.
Gilchrist: "It's pretty spectacular here, great to back here. Praveen Kumar is back after missing the previous game due to an illness. A green wicket, I don't think it will be a seamer's paradise." Gilly expects some help for the quicks though.
James Hopes: "I think Kings mathematically have a chance, but if we play well enough today, we'll be the spoilers. Hopefully, we improve on our death bowling."

Cricket live score update: Delhi Daredevils won by 4 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)

2011-05-05T23:36:00.002+05:30

Virender Sehwag smashed 119 off 56 balls to single-handedly power Delhi Daredevils to a win against Deccan Chargers in Hyderabad.

James Hopes: "Its hard to put in words how he batted tonight. Iam speechless about the way he played. That was pretty special. That's the kind of player he is mate. He is as good as it gets in world cricket. We now will take one game at a time."

Irfan Pathan: "Amazing innings. Only one guy could do it - it was Veeru. We have a good team but haven't done well. couple of close games but we ended up losing them. We have to keep faith and do it. I am happy with the way I bowled. I would have liked to finish the game with the bat. I am there and there about. I am happy with my progress. Great feeling that my parents were here. They are proud parents."

Sangakkara: "First of all hold our catches I reckon. We had two chances. It was an excellent score but Viru took it away from us. no one means to drop catches but we need to hold em to win games. The difference is to take those turning points in our favour. We haven't managed to do it. We have done well in patches but not been consistent."

Sehwag: "I was just telling my boys that whoever gets set just play 15-16 overs. batsmen like Warner, or me, or Gilchrist or Tendulkar, can do anything if we play for so many overs. I was telling myself that just play through the spell of styen and Ishant. They don't have fifth bowler and I have played Amit Mishra a lot in nets. I knew I could come hard on them. I just thought let me play my shots and if we can get momentum we can do this. I just told Birt to give me strike as much as he can. Last time I played here I was 94 not out and this time I didn't want to miss out on hundred. I knew If I stayed there till the end, my team will win. I told my boys, just play fearless cricket."

Ganguly signed by Pune Warriors

2011-05-04T12:22:00.000+05:30

Sourav Ganguly is back in the IPL, but won't be playing for Kolkata because the former India captain, has been signed by Pune Warriors as a replacement for Ashish Nehra, who was ruled out for the remainder of the 2011 season with a finger injury.

Ganguly likely join the Team for for their match against Mumbai India on May 4.
"We were waiting for Ashish Nehra's fitness report and ultimately the report came yesterday," Abhijit Sarkar, Pune's team director, told PTI. "I was already in talks with Ganguly and we decided that the amount of experience that Sourav has in cricket will no doubt help the team. So we finalised Ganguly last night.

"He is playing in IPL not for money but to prove a point. Our team think-tank felt that Sourav Ganguly is the best possible option available so we went for him. He has been a fighter and a master of comebacks. We are very much confident that he will prove his worth."

Ganguly has an average IPL record - 1031 runs at an average of 28 and strike-rate of 110 - and could strengthen an under-performing and short batting order.

Deccan Chargers won by 55-run against Kochi Tuskers

2011-04-28T17:10:00.001+05:30

Ishant Sharma produced the third best bowling effort in IPL history to set up Deccan Chargers' 55-run win against Kochi Tuskers and blitzed Kochi's batting line-up with a spell of 5 for 12. Kochi Tuskers Kerala's scorecard was stunningly woeful at the end of four sensational overs: 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0 were the scores of the batsmen sucker-punched by Ishant Sharma, who harassed them with seam and bounce. And Kochi never recovered from that soul-crushing spell.

Daniel Vettori asks for IPL window in FTP

2011-04-26T18:58:00.001+05:30

With the IPL once again putting to test - and with largely one-sided results - the debate of club versus country, Daniel Vettori believes that an official window for the IPL in the sport's annual calendar could settle the argument. One alternative for smaller boards would be to then go down the path that Vettori hopes New Zealand cricket will take when signing in on the Future Tours Programme for the next few years.
Speaking to ESPNcricinfo in Delhi, Vettori said the controversies such as Chris Gayle's spat with the West Indies board, and the discussions between the Indian and Sri Lankan boards over the early release of Lankans from the IPL for the England tour, would not arise if the IPL found its way into the international calendar as well.

"For me, there's a simple solution - you create a window for the IPL and all these probems go away, all the discourse and the conversations about it stops instantly," Vettori said. "A number of people have been talking about it for a long, long time. That would be great, otherwise people will continually be put into these situations and it's a tough decision."

A long-standing captain of New Zealand until he stepped down following the World Cup, Vettori leads the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. He pointed out the dilemma faced by international cricketers when having to choose between country and the IPL. "Everyone wants to play for their country," he said. "But if you understand the amount of money that's involved and its pressures, and sometimes the lack of certainty around your place in the team, it can make it [the decision] difficult. Like I said you can take all those things away by creating a small window around the IPL."
