After a round of 56 league matches we have now reached to the semi finals. The first semifinal is going to played in between Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals at Mumbai. Mumbai, Delhi and Rajasthan, what a combination. We are aware from the situation when Delhi was at knock out position and that time Rajasthan defeated Mumbai Indians in a last ball thriller and Mumbai became out from the tournament and Delhi got the chance to play this semi final in place of the host.

So now the big question is that can Delhi be able to defeat Rajasthan? Till now Rajasthan Royals came as the champion in the tournament, but now they are away from their home ground and this could be a big factor for them. On the other hand Delhi has one big plus point and that is their top order. Sehwag, Gambhir and Dhawan if any two of them clicked tonight they would must be in finals. But if they fails it would be their last game. So Delhi must be thinking about getting a good start from their openers.
