PREVIEW OF DELHI DAREDEVILS FOR IPL 2009

 

Strengths
Packed to the brim with batsmen, one can't imagine that the Daredevils are going to struggle scoring big totals. Their bowling attack isn't too shabby either, ensuring the Delhi unit are a well-balanced outfit.

Weaknesses
Pace bowling will be one area of concern. After spending a busy year out of the game, Glenn McGrath's ability to hit the right line and length with great consistency may not be what it once was, and if that is the case, Dirk Nannes, Yo Mahesh and Farveez Maharoof will fall under considerable pressure.

Likely hit
Daniel Vettori - Spin has become an integral part of the Twenty20 game, with the ability to take the pace off the ball. Vettori is one of the best in the business when it comes to the turning trade, and his success will be key to the Daredevils.

Likely Flop
Owais Shah - Coming off a tough tour of the Caribbean, the Englishman will be under pressure to perform, and with competition for spots in the batting order sure to be fierce, Shah may find the going a bit too much.

Prediction
They should, at least, make it through to the semi-finals.

2008 IPL Season:Performance of Delhi Daredevils:

The Daredevils were well poised from the onset of the first IPL season, having most of their core players—with the exception of Daniel Vettori—available for the whole tournament. The team built their batting lineup around Delhi openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir and used the majority of their foreign player quota on their bowling attack lead by Glenn McGrath and Mohammed Asif.

The team started the tournament well, winning 4 of their first 5 games. However, they were unable to sustain this and finished the round-robin portion of the tournament with a record of 7-6. Their performance was good enough to make the semi-finals, where they lost by 105 runs against the Rajasthan Royals. Royals, who had lost to the Daredevils in their first encounter, went on to win the title
