Daredevils captain Mahela Jayawardene and star opener David Warner however didn&#39;t play the game. While Warner was rested, Jayawardene had an appointment with the dentist and was unavailable for the match. With a paltry total on the board, Delhi Daredevils finally lost the practice game against Sydney Sixers by five wickets.u00a0
