Cape Town: Rain and a floodlight failure took the gloss off the second day of the Indian Premier League's double-header weekend at Newlands on Sunday.

A grey first day provided enough cricket and entertainment, including an expensive and spectacular opening ceremony, to satisfy a capacity crowd.

All the tickets for Sunday were sold out too but steady morning rain threatened to ruin the day. The match between the Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab started more than an hour and a half late.
