That's the end of the game and Delhi Capitals wrap up a massive victory winning by 7 wickets. The Wild Force was never in the game but that is more down to Delhi Capitals's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Delhi Capitals proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
