Giants vs Giant Killers
Virender Sehwag and Delhi Daredevils are in a familiar position. Like this year, they had completely dominated the 2009 season, before their mighty batting line-up faltered in the semi-final, much like their flop against Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday. This time though, with the changed format, they get a second chance.
One of Daredevils' puzzling decisions in the game against Knight Riders was to send in Ross Taylor as low as No. 7, below even Pawan Negi, who is in the side mainly as a left-arm spinner and isn't known for his batting exploits. TA Sekar, Daredevils' team mentor, said the team had reassessed its batting order the game; so Taylor can expect to bat at a more usual position on Friday.
Chennai Super Kings are also in a known position. Once again, they seem to be at their best in the final stages of the tournament. After several days of anxiously watching other teams' results go their way, Super Kings looked inexorable when they took apart Mumbai Indians on Wednesday.
