In the 55th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014, Manan Vohra and David Miller were moving along nicely and had crossed their fifty run partnership in style after two early wickets by the Delhi Daredevils had rocked their boat. David Miller and Manan Vohra repaired the innings and Vohra had stepped on the accelerator after a patient stay at the crease. Spinners were in play and Vohra survived early on after mistiming a loft and the ball landed safely in front of the fielder at long-off. There was more good shots and Punjab were in touching distance of capping of IPL 7 group stages with a win.
Kevin Pietersen and Mayank Agarwal came out to open the innings for the Delhi Daredevils (DD) against the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 7. Parvinder Awana started things off for Punjab in what was the first of a very good three-over spell. Perhaps as a ploy against Pietersen, Akshar Patel came on to bowl the second over of the innings. However, Pietersen showed that his perceived weakness against left-arm spin is a thing of the past by handling him quite well.
Kevin Pietersen said at the toss that Delhi were looking to finish the campaign on a positive note. Punjab win the toss and elect to bowl, but Pietersen said that the Daredevils would have batted first anyway. Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Johnson, and Parwinder Awana came in for Punjab at the expense of Shaun Marsh, Beuran Hendricks and L Balaji, while Murali Vijay, Wayne Parnell and Siddharth Kaul missed out for Delhi.
