Gilchrist set the stadium alight with a blazing 85 from 35 deliveries, hitting as many 10 boundaries and five sixes, as Deccan Chargers registered a convincing six-wicket victory in the first semi-final.
Andrew Symonds smashed 24 from 15 deliveries, and T Suman chipped in with a brisk 24 not out, as the Chargers cruised to 154 for four in 17.4 overs in reply to Delhi's 153 for eight.
Gilchrist's decision to bowl first was vindicated immediately by pacer Ryan Harris, who claimed the wickets of Gautam Gambhir and David Warner for ducks in his first over.
Tillakaratne Dilshan led a fine counter-attack, hitting 65 from 51 deliveries, as he plundered 85 runs in 58 deliveries for the third wicket with Virender Sehwag , who made 39 from 31. But, in the end, Delhi's total was just not enough.
Harris registered best figures for Deccan, claiming three for 27 in four overs, while RP Singh claimed two for 33 in four.
