In reply, Kolkata were never in the hunt with no markable performance from the top order. Some late cameos helped Kolkata finish off with a respectable total as they finished at 137 for 9 in 20 overs.
Earlier, Warner cracked the second century of the third edition, which also became the highest score of IPL III. His unbeaten 107 in 69 balls and 128 runs for the fourth wicket with Paul Collingwood (53 off 45) helped Daredevils resurrect the innings after they were tottering at 38 for three at one stage.
Electing to bat, Delhi had a shaky start as they lost three quick wickets — Virender Sehwag (8), Gautam Gambhir (1) and Dinesh Karthik (0) — within three overs but Warner played a devastating knock to ensure that Delhi reaches a competitive score. The Australian, however, almost had a heartbreak at 96 when Murali Kartik pulled of a stunning catch off his own bowling in the 18th over but the ball had kissed the ground as Warner got a life.
