Invaluable unbeaten cameos from Mahela Jayawardene (36) and Luke Pomersbach (25) helped Kings XI Punjab beat Delhi Daredevils by six runs via Duckworth-Lewis system in a weather-truncated Indian Premier League tie in New Delhi Saturday night.
Chasing a revised target of 123 in 11 overs, the Punjab side batted braving light drizzle early in their innings and eventually finished at 94/3 in eight overs when play was suspended with the visitors six runs ahead of the hosts.
Jayawardene's 17-ball 36 included three sixes and two fours, while Pomersbach's 25 came off 12 balls.
Kings XI Punjab received an early jolt in the second over when Pradeep Sangwan removed in-form Shaun Marsh (2) with Shikhar Dhawan running backwards to take a blinder.
Next man in Yuvraj Singh hoicked Sangwan over the ropes and hit Glenn McGrath for back-to-back sixes but the Australian had the last laugh when Farveez Maharoof took a brilliant catch to send back the left-hander after an eight-ball sizzler of 23.
James Hopes (4) too could not make his mark but Jayawardene and Pomersbach played smart cricket to see their side through.
