Delhi DareDevils scores a narrow win over Mumbai Indians, keeps semi-finals hopes alive
It was a make or break for Delhi DareDevils and they did it. In their last IPL match, the Delhi DareDevils beat Mumbai Indians by 5 wickets and kept their semi-finals hopes alive. Mumbai Indians began their innings on an explosive note. But once Sachin and Jayasuriya departed, they found themselves on the back foot. Jayasuriya scored 66. Robin Uthappa batted superbly in the last 3 overs to take Mumbai Indians' total to 176/5 in 20 overs. He remained unbeaten on 46. YoMahesh took 4 wickets for DareDevils.
Although Sehwag and Gambhir departed early after some quick-fire runs, Manoj Tiwary and Dinesh Karthik played the innings of their life to see DareDevils through. Tiwary scored 36, while Dhawan contributed 27. Dinesh Karthik remained unbeaten on 56. Maharoof too contributed an unbeaten 2o. He was the hero in the last overs. Delhi DareDevils made 178/5 in 19.5 overs. For Mumbai Indians, D Smith took 2 wickets. Karthik was declared "Man of the Match".

The Delhi DareDevils are really playing very well. Veeru, Gautam and Dhawan were already scoring and now Karthik has also joined the party. The bowling is also doing great. McGrath, Mahroof, Mishra and now Mahesh have all made life difficult for the batsmen. The last match versus Mumbai was very close but the Daredevils showed more character.
I feel The DareDevils will win IPL08.
By the way they also have their own official blog www.delhidaredevils.com/blogs where I came across exclusive videos and official Blogs. I guess this site would fascinate any DareDevils fan.
