Preview: 

After a rare stumble, Delhi Bulls got back on winning ways yesterday, when they defeated the Deccan Gladiators by 8 wickets. They had a fantastic start to their campaign, as they defeated their first two opponents quite comfortably. Their juggernaut, however, came to a halt in the third game.

Pune Devils also started off with a win, but they have been on a downward spiral ever since. They lost their last two group stage games, and in their first Super League game, the Bangla Tigers handed then a drubbing. Though they do have had some good individual performances, playing as a cohesive unit is what they will be aiming for.
