Clash of the Titans
It's a tie between Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders in the first qualifier of IPL 5 at Pune. In a season which has been marred by unsavoury incidents off the field, the IPL's climax guarantee to be quite a pleasure with heavyweights making into the last four. No better than Delhi and KKR to kick off the business end of the event as the two teams have without doubt been the most constant performers in this IPL.
Both the teams boast of explosive batting line-ups. When the two teams came face to face in the league stage, the honours were shared with Delhi triumph in Kolkata and KKR returning the favour when they visited the capital and it promises to be a battle of equals. Delhi has the brutality of Captain Virender Sehwag and David Warner, Kolkata have the Brendon McCullum.
If Mahela Jayawardene lends steadiness to Delhi's batting order, Kolkata captain Gautam Gambhir has been equally inspirational for his team. In fact, both the teams have equally potent all-rounders in the line-up with Irfan Pathan rediscovering his old form for Delhi and Shakib Al Hasan doing the job for Kolkata. On the bowling front, Delhi have a pace ace in South African Morne Morkel. But with the likes of mystery spinner Sunil Narine, Iqbal Abdulla and Shakib.
