Delhi Daredevils Daredevils beat Cape Cobras by 30 runs
Cape Cobras
Delhi Daredevils
The Delhi Daredevils have won their last match of the tournament. With that, they break the Cape Cobras' unbeaten record in the Champions League. Defending a modest total of 114, Delhi won by 30 runs as the trecherous wicket at the Feroz Shah Kotla worked to their bowlers' advantage. Strangely, Delhi won without the services of Sehwag, Nehra and McGrath as their youngsters came good for them. Dilshan failed to fire with the bat but returned with commendable figures of 16-2 with the ball. Nannes was fast, furious and brilliant with figures of 19-3. Owais Shah is named Man of the Match for his steady knock of an unbeaten 39 runs. Unfortunately, this win does not do anything for Delhi's cause. They are still out of the tournament. However, this match has decided the two semi-final matches that will take place after the rest day tomorrow. The Cape Cobras will be happy they will be playing their semi-final at Hyderabad against Trinidad and Tobago. That match will take place on Thursday. It will be an all-Australian semi-final on Wednesday as New South Wales Blues take on Victorian Bushrangers. Do join us for both of these exciting contests. We'll see you then. Goodbye.
After being one of the best batting units in the tournament, Cape Cobras' 84 is now the lowest total of the tournament.

The Umpires walk out to the middle as the second innings chase is about to get underway. Andrew Puttick and Herschelle Gibbs, the Cobras openers, take the crease. Surprisingly, Tillakaratne Dilshan will begin proceedings with the new ball. If the Cobras win tonight, they will play New South Wales Blues at this venue. So it's a good chance for the batsmen to acclimatize themselves to the slow wicket. 115 to win. Should be easy, unless the Daredevils scalp some early wickets.
