TEAMS PREVIEW

Delhi Capitals Preview

DC batting unit were shell shocked as their top-3 batsmen were dismissed for duck and the scorecard read as 0/3. Marcus Stoinis (65 runs) and Axar Patel (42 runs) tried their best but they were nowhere near the chase at any time after the top order collapse. Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant are short of runs in the last 3-4 matches and will need to make a comeback soon with the bat.  

Pacers Anrich Nortje, Daniel Sams, and Kagiso Rabada were taken for lot of runs and had combined figures of 12-0-136-1 in the last match. Ravi Ashwin was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up 3 crucial wickets in the match to restrict the Mumbai Indians in the middle overs.

Top players to bet on:

Shikhar Dhawan – Dhawan has three ducks and a fifty in the last 4 matches. He was in ominous form in the middle with back-to-back centuries but will look to return to his best in this all important game.

Ravi Ashwin – Ashwin is one of the complete spinners with a lot of variations under his bag. He will look to continue his good rhythm with the ball in this match to trouble the opposition.

Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw/Shimron Hetmyer, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Mohit Sharma/Daniel Sams, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview

SRH beat RCB in a last over thriller to qualify to the next round. Kane Williamson was cool as a cucumber in the match scoring a match winning fifty and led his team to victory. Jason Holder and Manish Pandey looked good and scored some vital runs in the match while David Warner`s innings was cut short but a controversial decision.

SRH`s bowling department performed as a team with every bowler contributing to the team. Jason Holder and T Natarajan combined to pick 5 wickets between them and gave runs at less than 8 RPO. Rashid Khan and Sandeep Sharma bowled economically giving runs at less than 6 RPO but failed to pick up wickets.  

Top players to bet on:

Kane Williamson – Williamson steadied their batting order from 67/4 and scored a superb fifty to rebuild the innings and chase down the target in the final over. He weathered the storm before attacking the bowlers.

Jason Holder – Holder had an all-round performance last night taking 3 wickets and scoring 24 runs with the bat. He provides great balance to the playing XI with his all-round capabilities.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted Playing XI:

David Warner (c), Shreevats Goswami (wk), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Abu Dhabi has a hot and humid weather and dew will play a very big role in the second innings especially.  

Venue Details

Abu Dhabi is expected to be a slow track and spinners are expected to play a big role in this match. We expect the teams to score around 130-150 runs in this match and batsmen will struggle to time the ball as no pace is on offer.

Toss: To Bowl

Both captains will look to chase the target keeping the dew in mind but it is a safe option to bat first in the big matches usually as chasing pressure might choke the team.
