Posted by akpwld on April 30, 2008
The lady luck again lacked the Vijay Malliya owned Bangalore Royal Challengers(RC) as they had to face defeat in the hands of the Delhi Daredevils(DD) diminishing their chances of going into the semifinals. They are now placed at the bottom of the table.
After winning the toss the RC put DD to bat and it seemed that they had grasped the invitation with both hands. The DD dominates the RC bowlers as the openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhr thrashed the ball all around the field.
Ross Taylor gave RC a joy of relief as he knocked off Sehwag for a mere 24 runs, but the jolly making was not for long as the no.3 batsman Shikhar Dhawan whipped RC with a string of boundaries.
After posting 192 as the target for the RC the DD were fearsome with the ball too. The maximum damage of the RC was done by the pace Aussi bolwer Glenn McGrath who picked up four curtail wickets and was also adjourned Man of the Match. The RC’s were 3 down in the very first over when their skipper Rahul Dravid and Jaques Kallis came for their rescue. In the second spell McGrath send home dravid but kallis managed to add another half century to his account.

Delhi DareDevils team really looks very well balanced. Sehwag is really turning out to be a great captain. I really admire him for the way he handles the pressure. It was Gautam’s 86 runs and Mcgrath’s 4 wickets haul which helped The Devils to win the match. I hope they continue their great form. Btw Delhi DareDevils also have their own official blog where you can get all exclusive content about the team and their players. http://www.delhidaredevils.com/blog/
