A blistering 126 off 59 balls from David Warner carried defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad to an emphatic 48-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League on Sunday. The Sunrisers captain hit 10 fours and eight sixes in his team's imposing total of 209-3, after Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir had won the toss and opted to field first. In reply, Knight Riders could only score 161-7 after rain interrupted their run-chase for nearly 45 minutes. Robin Uthappa top-scored with 53 before he holed out at long off to Warner. David Warner scored 126 off 59 balls as Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Kolkata Knight Riders Seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2-29) took his wickets tally in the tournament to 20, as Knight Riders' chase never got going. 'It was outstanding, we generally look to bat first and set the tone with a positive intent from ball one,' Warner said. 'We managed to maintain the run rate of 10 an over, which was amazing.' Despite the loss, Knight Riders lead the table with 14 points with a better run-rate than Mumbai Indians, who also have 14 points, but have played a game less than Knight Riders' 10.

As Delhi Breathes Season apos;s Worst Air Cricketers Hit The Nets Under...

By Neha Dasgupta and Amlan Chakraborty NEW DELHI, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Authorities handed out free face masks to New Delhi residents on Thursday as filthy air polluted by rural crop fires and urban traffic and factories reached dangerous new levels in the Indian capital. Government data showed the air quality index over the last two days crossed 400, indicating severe conditions that put people with healthy lungs as well as those with respiratory illnesses at risk. With the skies over Delhi clouded with smog, many also cast worried eyes on the fate of India-Bangladesh Twenty20 cricket match scheduled for Sunday. "I do not think any match should happen here in Delhi until the pollution level comes under control," said Gautam Gambhir, a former Indian test cricketer and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's lawmaker in Delhi. Pollution has worsened over the last week due to the burning of crop residue in neighbouring states that have sent over clouds of hazardous smoke, cloaking the city in a dusty, toxic transluscence. Authorities have had little success in curbing the fires. On Wednesday, satellites captured more than 2,400 farm fires across Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh that together contributed 35% of overall air pollution in Delhi, the highest this season, according to government-run monitor SAFAR. The smoke from the fields combines with urban pollution from vehicles and [http://footballandcricketonline.website2.me/blog/gautam-gambhir-baby http://footballandcricketonline.website2.me/blog/gautam-gambhir-baby] industry to make New Delhi the world's most-polluted capital. SMOG STOPS PLAY? Bangladeshi cricketers spent more than two hours at the nets under the smoggy skies on Thursday. Liton Das, the only one wearing a mask, shrugged off concerns over air quality. "No, no, nothing like that," he said. Asked if the players had trouble spotting the white ball in the haze, he said, "Well, there will be light in a night game, so it should not be a problem." As the Bangladeshi players and coaches practiced, the air quality index around the stadium was above 400. The index measures the levels of PM 2.5, tiny particulate matter that goes deep into the lungs. Anything above 60 is considered unhealthy. Rohit Sharma, who will lead the India team, said he had not yet assessed the situation. "I know the game is scheduled to be played on the third, and it will be played on the third," Sharma told reporters. Delhi's chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will restrict the use of private vehicles on the city's roads from next week and authorities have shut down construction activity and coal-based power plants. Deadly air pollution can cut life expectancy by up to seven years in northern India, according to a study by Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago.
