Delhi’s bowling attack - Irfan Pathan and Morne Morkel, young Umesh Yadav and wily Ajit Agarkar have been more than handy.
The Lions have relied on their efficient bowling for their success. “We always thought we can make it to the semis and even the final. The guys have been working hard since April,” said left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso, who has grabbed eight wickets in four matches at an economy rate of 4.43.
