In the first semi-final of the Champions League Twenty20 Cricket tournament in Durban , Highveld Lions beat Delhi Daredevils by 22 runs and stormed in to the final . On a bouncy Kingsmead pitch on Thursday, Highveld Lions got a decent 139 for five and then restricted Daredevils to only 117 for nine. The Daredevils batsmen except Pietersen who scored 50 off 44 balls, looked in utter discomfort against Lions attack especially pacer Chris Morris. Morris bowled fast and straight as he gave away only seven runs in four overs taking prize wickets of David Warner and Pietersen. With Daredevils' defeat, the challenge of IPL teams in this edition ended on a disappointing note.The second semi-final between Sydney Sixers and Titans will be played at Centurion today.
