New Delhi, April 04: Paul Collingwood blasted an unbeaten 46-ball 75 to guide Delhi Daredevils to a competitive 184 for five against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their Indian Premier League match here today.
Collingwood slammed three fours and seven sixes to anchor the Delhi innings after skipper Gautam Gambhir won the toss and elected to bat first at the Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium.
Virender Sehwag (35) and David Warner (33) set the tone for Delhi, but the hosts once again lost too many wickets in the middle overs in the form of Gambhir (1), Dinesh Karthik (6) and Kedar Jadhav (7).
But it was Collingwood’s blitzkrieg which saw the home team gather a healthy total in 20 overs as the Englishman completed his second IPL III half-century.
Earlier, Sehwag (35) gave Delhi a blistering start as only fours and sixes flew from his bat.
