David Warner blasts sizzling century, Delhi virtually seal playoff berth

David Warner Celebrates His Century

The most 'versatile' bowling attack in IPL 5 was taken to the cleaners by the Hyderabad duo of Shikhar Dhawan and Cameron White but Delhi responded magnificently to the challenge with their men of the hour coming in the form of a pint-sized dynamo called David Warner (109 no, 54b, 10x4, 7x6) and Naman Ojha (64 no, 46b, 2x4, 5x6).

With a very challenging 188 to get in their return leg match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday, Delhi's best bet was skipper Virender Sehwag.

But his early dismissal brought Warner into focus in their domineering nine-wicket win as the Australian revelled under lights with an innings as good as any as Delhi totalled 193 for one in 16.4 overs after Hyderabad, sans Dale Steyn (nursing a niggle), batted first.
