...Presentation time..
Have to say it was a very poor batting effort from Delh. None of their batters showed any fight. It was about one partnership but they got none. Another loss for them and this might be a morale deflating one. Delhi Bulls might have taken the chase a bit too lightly we feel. They have a long tail however, it didn't show up when it mattered the most. With this win, Delhi Bulls leapfrog over Northern Warriors and keep their playoffs hope alive.
What an effort that is from the Warriors, they have defended quite a low score against a strong Delhi batting side. Despite not being at their best in the field they have done so. The key for them was wickets at regular intervals and that just never let Delhi accelerate.
