After winning the toss, Delhi skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, said, “Luckily we get another opportunity to play another game in the play offs. I have just told my boys to go out there and give it their best, hopefully today we can perform well. It looks like a good track to bat on so if someone can stay in the middle for a while then they can score big. It is a good track and it should stay the same, so if we can restrict the opposition to 140-150 then we can chase it well.”
Delhi decided to drop http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Russell-c87177 and Sunny Gupta.
