Teams:

Delhi Dare devils Srilankan bastman T Dilshan hit a superb unbeaten 67 runs of 47 balls to win the match.
Dilshan partnered with first AB de Villiers and then with Mithun Manhas to steer DD home by 6 wickets and 4 balls to spare.
First Banglore got into the match when Pankaj Singh sent back both the star openers Shewag and Gambhir in the 2nd and 6th over respectively.
But T Dilshan, AB de Villiers and Mithun Manhas got their act together to win the match for Dare Devil.
In the 1st innings Bangalore have managed 149/7 at the end of their 20 overs. They got off to a disasterous start losing two quick wickets in the first two overs.
Kevin Pietersen and Ross Taylor did well and added 62 for the third wicket. Taylor went soon after but that was followed by another 61 run stand between Kohli and Boucher for the fifth wicket which helped them get close to the 150 run mark. This should be an easy chase for Delhi who have a strong batting line up and Bangalore will have to bowl out of their skins to have any chance.
Pietersen (37 off 25), in Ross Taylor's (31 off 34) company, resurrected the Royal Challengers.
Pietersen was looking in great touch, before he attempted the un-famous reverse shot, but only to be cleaned bowled by Vetorri.
