Port Elizabeth: Since 92-runs victory against Rajasthan Royals, Bangalore have suffered three consecutive defeats and languish in the bottom half of the league. In order to end the losing streak in Port Elizabeth, Bangalore will have upset the Delhi Daredevils, considered by many to be favourites for the title.
While Delhi Daredevils high on confidence after two successive victories, will strive to continue with the winning momentum while a struggling Royal Challengers Bangalore will try to recapture the lost sheen they started with when the two teams lock horns in an Indian Premier League match on Sunday.
The Delhi side will surely count upon their formidable batting line-up with skipper Virender Sehwag joining hands with his Team India opening partner Gautam Gambhir to start the innings, followed by home batsman AB de Villers.
The Protea played a beacon with his 54-ball 105 to guide Daredevils to victory in the last match against Chennai side and the team will expect another blistering knock from the cricketer.
With cricketers like Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan and New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori figuring in the middle order besides 'keeper Dinesh Kaarthick and Bengal boy Manoj Tiwary, Delhi batting line-up will be a hard nut to crack.
Former England skipper Pietersen, who was made helmsman of the team after being bought for a whopping $1.5 million, is surely under pressure and do everything to prove their first-match win was not a false dawn.
Their Batting department has been inconsistent so far but the opening pair of Kiwi all-rounder Jesse Ryder, who made 32 in last match, and Robin Uthappa has to do a decent job if the Bangalore team to win the match.
However, Protea Jaques Kallis and Kiwi Ross Taylor are seemingly recapturing their touches and may well come out with some crucial innings in tomorrow's encounter.
Their bowling department is lacking the penetration power since they skittled out the Rajasthan team for a paltry 58 in the first tie, thanks to Anil Kumble's five-for, but failed to do the trick in the subsequent matches.
