This match is a dead rubber for Delhi who can only play for pride after a disappointing tournament for the bookies favourite. They come up against the other fairytale team in the Cape Cobras who like T&T, have yet to be beaten. Should they maintain that record they will go up against NSW. A loss will pit them against the high flying T&T so Cape Cobras have a lot to play for in this match.
Delhi's strong batting lineup on paper has failed to fire a shot all tournament. Dilshan and Gambhir have a combined total of 66 runs between them. Sehwag produced that same total in Delhi's only win against Wayamba. Without the star batters firing, Delhi has failed to make competitive totals leading to their two losses. Delhi have missed AB De Villers and David Warner but other teams with lesser players have performed indicating the lesser known Delhi players have let their team down. Their bowling lineup have struggled to make an impact after Nehra lost his Champions Trophy form and Mishra has been less than effective.
The Cape Cobras came into the tournament under the radar but JP Duminy changed that perspective with his amazing 99 against Bangalore to chase down the sizable 180 total posted. From there on it has been smooth sailing for both the batters and bowlers with contributions from captain Pattrick in the game against Otago and Davids against Victoria. The bowlers have worked as a team to restrict the opposition.
Team information
Neither side have any injury of note. Cape Cobras should go into the match unchanged although they may give Plaatjies and Levi a run.
Cape Cobras: AG Puttick*, D Brand†, H Davids, JP Duminy JL Ontong, SA Engelbrecht, S van Zyl, VD Philander, RK Kleinveldt, CW Henderson, M Zondeki
Delhi may look at giving the whole squad a game. Sangwan, Nagar and Salvi could get some game time.
Delhi: TM Dilshan, V Sehwag, G Gambhir*, KD Karthik†, MK Tiwary, R Bhatia, Y Nagar, A Mishra, A Nehra, DP Nannes/A Salvi, P Sangwan
