The English Cricket Board is still to hear from the BCCI on whether or not it will be able to send out its teams for the Champions League T20 this year. The tournament was earlier tipped to be played between 10th September to 26th September this year, but the problem with that has been the first class season that will be played in England at that time.
It might have been an inconsequential win for other teams but the Delhi Daredevils looked hungry for it. They needed this win to prove to themselves more than to anyone else that they still have mettle and have not lost everything. With some brave decisions, the team got down on the Feroz Shah Kotla ground to face South African Nashua Cape Cobras, the team to which they have already lost once, in the last match of the Super eight stage of the Champions League.
