Indian Premier League title favourites Delhi Daredevils overcame the loss of two batsmen in the first over to make 153-8 off 20 overs in their semi-final against Deccan Chargers on Friday.
Deccan Chargers captain Adam Gilchrist won the toss and asked Delhi Daredevils to bat in the first semi-final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the SuperSport Park here Friday.
Delhi captain Virender Sehwag said he would have opted to bat first on a Centurion Park pitch that looks good for batting.
“It’s a tough ground to defend on this. History shows that,” Gilchrist said.
Deccan has failed to beat Delhi in four attempts in the two-year history of the IPL.
Delhi finished on top of the standings, while Deccan came fourth.
Teams:
Deccan: Adam Gilchrist, Herschelle Gibbs, Tirumalsetti Suman, Rohit Sharma, Andrew Symonds, Venugopal Rao, Azhar Bilakhia, Ryan Harris, Pragyan Ojha, Harmeet Singh, Rudra Singh.
Delhi: Gautam Gambhir, David Warner, Virender Sehwag, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Dinesh Karthik, A.B. de Villiers, Rajat Bhatia, Amit Mishra, Dirk Nannes, Pradeep Sangwan, Ashish Nehra.
