Dale Steyn struck in the first over to send back David Warner without a run on board. Warner (0) tried to drive Steyn but got caught at the mid-on by Anand Rajan.
After few quick hits skipper Mahela Jayawardene and Virender Sehwag went back in hut after falling to Ishant Sharma. Both batsmen scored 12 each.
Ishant first got rid of Jayawardene by getting him caught by Dale Steyn on the third delivery of the fifth over. On the next delivery, Ishant scalped Sehwag to leave Delhi reeling at 26/3.
Virender Sehwag will make his first appearance in this season.
Having lost their first three matches in this year's league, and looking ragged and somewhat pedestrian, the team which dominated the league phases just a year back needs to win on Friday.
Their opponents are not the strongest side in the tournament but do boast of a fine opening attack, led by Dale Steyn who is partnered by Ishant Sharma.
The batting is being held together by the pair of Cameron White and Thisara Perera, both of whom can clear the boundaries with ease.
