Put into bat, Delhi made 114. Dilshan was bowled for 1 and then his partner-skipper Gambhir was also bowled but for a duck.
Other young players like Nagar and Salvi were given chance in this match. Sehwag was rested.
OA Shah gave DD some respect by scoring unbeaten 39 in 38 balls. Delhi's only six came from his bat. Without his contribution, Delhi would have been bundled for less than 100.
Chasing 115 is an easy task, especially for a team like Cape Cobras, who have already qualified for Semi Finals.
But the DD bowlers had different script. Gibbs once again failed and recorded his second duck in this tournament. He was trapped plumb in front of the wicket off Dilshan. Gambhir's tactic of opening the bowling with Dilshan paid-off.
Skipper Puttick was bowled by Nannes for 6. Davis and Duminy revived the innings with a 27-run partnership for the third wicket. The direct hit by Sangwan from point sent Davids to pavilion--turning point.
Wickets fell frequently and another turning point was the wicket of Duminy. Kleinveldt was caught by Shah off Mishra. Two deliveries later, Duminy trying to poke at the ball, it sneaks through between bat and pad and knocked the stumps. Delhi was back in the game and they have seen light at the end of the tunnel.
Nannes picked 3 wickets, Nagar, Mishra, and Dilshan picked 2 each and dismissed Cape Cobras for 84. This is the first time that Cape Cobras have lost all the 10 wickets in this edition of CL. Also, so far, they have registered most ducks in the innings--Gibbs, Henderson, Zondeki.
