Though stand-in skipper Dinesh Karthik , who scored 46 off 27 balls led his side from the front but he couldn’t carry his team to victory, as he was caught and bowled by Symonds in the 19th over. Opener David Warner (57 off 33 balls) gave an explosive start to his team while Karthik slammed 4 fours and two sixes in his 27-ball blitzkrieg. Daredevils lost AB de Villiers (27) and David Warner (57) in quick succession after going smoothly in their 172-run target chase.
