New Delhi: A gripping contest is on the cards when Delhi Daredevils take on Kings XI Punjab as the race for the semi-finals in the Indian Premier League hots up on Saturday.
The Daredevils ended their four-match losing streak against Deccan Chargers on Thursday and they cannot afford to relax from here on.
The Daredevils are in fifth place with 5 wins from 10 matches. The Kings XI Punjab are sitting pretty in the second spot with 12 points from 9 matches.
But with Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders very much in contention for the semifinals, today's game is significant for both teams.
The Daredevils skipper Virender Sehwag is hoping that the bad patch is behind them.
"No team has been able to win consistently in the tournament. Even Super Kings, who were in fine form, lost four matches in a row. We are happy to be back to winning ways," Sehwag said.
With all the teams packed with explosive batsmen, fortunes have fluctuated in a matter of a couple of overs.
"Every team is playing good cricket. The other night Sanath Jayasuriya single-handedly won the match for Mumbai Indians. It can happen in any game," Sehwag said.
