1. The best batting lineup of all. However Viru & Gambhir haven't been the explosive success they've been for India. Why?
Is there a bit of tension that Viru's the icon & Gambo the skipper?

2. The semi-final jinx: failing twice in the semis(quite tamely) will have to gnaw on these guys. Can they put one together to get to the final atleast?

3. Can Warner & Nannes step up again?

24 needed with a bunny coming in at 11? No problem!

Gambhir guides Delhi home with a typically well paced innings. Sreesanth bowled quite well for Kings XI to take the early wickets of Sehwag and Dilshan.

This time it is Sehwag who wins it. Still early days, but Delhi again look like red hot favourites in the league stage.

Delhi loses in overconfidence...they don;t step it up in the semis

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent-Eleanor Roosevelt

it is cardinal sin if they lose even a single game with such batting lineup.. the team they have, can give any international team run for their money..

My team has the most balanced team as of now.

With likes of Dilli, Gambo and Veeru followed by AB, dinesh and Manhas
This is arguably most destructive batting line up

with Dirk, Mahroof and Sangwan as fasties, we have best economy bowlers

with Amit and Ladda, we have best economical spinners

and the fielding has been more than impressive

Only thing is that they need to keep up the momentum. Last coule of times we have surrendered at very first do and die hurdle.

Hopefully this time we'll go further than last 2 seasons

Well big game today for Delhi and for Mumbai too...

Looks like I am the only 'special one' who supports Delhi in this message board.

---

Delhi may be challenged today by Mumbai. Tendulkar is off to a flyer.

Mumbai are on fire, thanks to Tendulkar. He is getting good support from youngsters as well. Delhi bowling has been ordinary today.

DD again like last 2 seasons are top heavy , might cost them in the big matches ...they need a big hitting batsmen at 6-7 !

Also Sangwan needs to open bowling with Dirk.. Mahroof is a good change bowler.. If Dirk is bowling well might as well give him 4 overs.. where is Rajat Bhatia??

A batting lineup of Sehwag, Dilshan, Gambhir is always going to be top heavy. Delhi need to spread out these match winners in the batting order to insure against the rare collapses.

Sehwag showed his stupidty today, getting out to a set plan when not allowed to score for 3 balls..

This time Karthik fired, but his teammates let him down. Delhi are in serious trouble.

Must win match for Delhi against Mumbai. But they have started badly, gifting 8 extras in the first 4 overs. They need to get the in form Tendulkar quickly to restrict Mumbai.

New Mumbai opener, Madan slowed things down and just got out. Run rate is down to 7.5. Good comeback by Delhi.
