Rain leaves Daredevils frustrated


Prolonged unseasonal showers at Delhi meant the match between the Delhi Daredevils and the Kolkata Knight Riders was a non-starter. After the showers stopped, umpires AV Jayaprakash and Brian Jerling made two inspections - the last of the two at 2200 Hrs Local Time - and then decided to call off the match.
Both teams shared the spoils from the match with one point each.Despite the one point from this match, the Knight Riders, for whom this was a must-win game, are out of contention from making it to the last four.
The Delhi Daredevils have one more outing against the Mumbai Indians, and a win there will only keep their hopes of making it to the last four alive. Mumbai have twelve points from 11 matches, and if they emerge triumphant in Saturday's encounter against the Daredevils, that will almost ensure them of a place in the knockout round.
