NEW DELHI, Apr 20 (AFP): Little-known opener Sunny Sohal hit a half-century and Kumar Sangakkara made a solid 49 to set up Deccan Chargers' 16-run win over Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League Tuesday.
The second match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain in Bangalore. Rajasthan have two wins and Bangalore one after five games.
Sohal top-scored with an impressive 62 as Deccan posted a competitive 168-4 before restricting Delhi to 152-7 for their second victory in five matches of the Twenty20 tournament.
