Match 1

Delhi Daredevils v Royal Challengers Bangalore

at Feroz Shah Kotla

Morkel's three puts Delhi back in the game

With just 118 on the board, Delhi Daredevils needed early wickets. Not one but a couple or more to put some sort of pressure on the opposition. Who other than Morne Morkel could do it? He was right on the money from the start and troubled the RCB openers. Uthappa eventually edged one to Rayudu as he tried to break the shackles and went for an ambitious drive. Morkel didn't let the RCB skipper, Gambhir settle as well. Consistently bowling short stuff to Gambhir was the plan it seemed. It worked as Gautam tried to run one down to the third man but, ended up edging it to the keeper. How often have you seen him do that and get out?​

With the visitors in trouble at 8 for 2, it was 'The Wall' Rahul Dravid and youngster Pujara who had to rebuild the innings. Dravid was his usual self hitting the lose deliveries and playing each on it's merit. Pujara was the aggressor of the two. He hit Morkel for a couple of 4s before he was caught by Rahane, a stunning catch which gave Morkel his 3rd wicket.​

Ajinkya Rahane takes a fantastic catch running in to dismiss Pujara for 16.

While Dravid was playing a steady innings on one end, the guys at the other end kept losing their wickets. JP Duminy was bowled by the leg spinner Rahul Sharma as he was late on getting his bat down on time for a quicker one. Abdul Razzaq came in at number 6 as RCB were in a spot of bother at 51 for 4 after 10 overs.​

We have the final news on Balaji and Narine. Balaji will have to miss the next game for RCB because of an injury. Sunil Narine is unwell at the moment but, no major issues with him.

Rahul Dravid is there while Razzaq has just come in. Will these two take the visitors home or will Delhi Daredevils pull off an amazing victory? Or, will something else happen? Stay tuned for more..​

Royal Challengers Bangalore need 68 runs to win from 10 overs @ 6.80 RPO​

i knew our bowling will be good

*cough* *cough* easy win for rcb

 

[Prithvi]

So, this pair has to get this target achieved. Shukla can bat, but still I want these two to finish the game off.

 

[Fenil]

DD has upper hand but RCB can still win this one. Excellent graphic display Gaurav. Something I could only think of but could never achieve it.

 

[VC the slogger]

I think DD should win. They've got 4 early wickets and should put more pressure on RCB now.

----------

Dravid is the slow one. They should strange him for runs when he's on strike and in that way put pressure on his non-striking partner. That way he may commit a mistake.

 

[Sahil 7]

Now rcb in trouble hope this pair put some runs together and finish the game off

Match 1

Delhi Daredevils v Royal Challengers Bangalore

at Feroz Shah Kotla

The 'Calm' Dravid and The 'Aggressive' Razzaq take Bangalore home

Rahul Dravid knew it was on him now to see his team home. He wasn't going at a very good pace but, made sure he didn't bog down by hitting an odd boundary of deliveries that presented the opportunity. He seemed to be in command of the proceedings and didn't panic. His partner in Abdul Razzaq took off the pressure on him by terrific batting display.​

Abdul Razzaq looked positive from ball 1. He kept on rotating the strike and hit it hard when wanted to. Taking Watson on, he managed to ease the pressure of the required rate which started mounting at one stage. But, in the 19th over of Shane Watson, when 16 runs were needed of the last 2 overs, he made sure not much remained for the last one. 14 runs came off that penultimate over meaning only 2 to get from the final 6 balls. Dravid took his time and completed the victory for the RCB on the 5th ball of the final over.​

So, in the end the calmness of Dravid and aggression of Razzaq did it for the visitors. Delhi Daredevils will look to bounce back in their next game while the Royal Challangers from Bangalore will look to continue on their winning ways. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation...​
