TEAMS PREVIEW

Delhi Capitals Preview

Delhi`s opening duo came to the party last night with a 94-run partnership with Prithvi Shaw (64 runs) and Shikhar Dhawan (35 runs) amongst runs. Shreyas Iyer (39& 26), Rishabh pant (31 & 37*), and Marcus Stoinis (56 & 5*) are looking in good touch and will make their middle order batting line-up.

Their pace duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anruich Nortje shared 5 wickets between them and gave runs at just 6 RPO to restrict the opposition. The spin partners Amit Mishra and Axar patel tioed the batsmen in the middle overs with a combined spell of 8-0-41-1 in the match. They are waiting on Ravi Ashwin`s fitness to add him in the playing XI.

Top players to bet on:

Shreyas Iyer – Iyer has come in at No.4 in both the matches this season and scored 39 & 26 runs respectively. He looks to be in good touch and will look to make a big score in this match.

Kagiso Rabada – Rabada is their bowling spearhead and he has picked 5 wickets in the two matches not including the 2 super over wickets.  We expect him to trouble batsmen with his pace, variations and control with the ball in this match.

Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing XI:

Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (c), Shimron Hetmyer/Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Avesh Khan/Keemo Paul

Delhi Capitals Actual Playing XI:

Anrich Nortje, Marcus Stoinis, Shreyas Iyer, Amit Mishra, Prithvi Shaw, Kagiso Rabada, Rishabh Pant, Shikhar Dhawan, Axar Patel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ishant Sharma

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad batting relies heavily on the likes of David Warner, Johnny Bairstow, and Manish Pandey. Their middle order lacked firepower and scored 83 runs in their last 11 overs despite having 9 wickets in hand. Their batting order needs to post 160+ scores to win matches.

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar is yet to pick up a wicket in 2 matches. Natarajan and Khaleel Ahmed are expected to partner him in the fast bowling department. Mohammed Nabi and Rashid Khan gave just 48 runs in their 8 overs combined but failed to take more wickets consistently.  

Top players to bet on:

Manish Pandey – Pandey has scores of 34 & %1 in the two matches played so far. His wicket swung the momentum in the favor of the opposition in both the matches. He remains a vital bridge between the top order and middle order at No.3.  

Rashid Khan – Rashid Khan looked to be getting back to rhythm last match. He picked up with wicket of Dinesh Karthik in his first over and ended with bowling figures of 4-0-25-1.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted Playing XI:

David Warner (C), Johnny Bairstow (Wk), Mohammed Nabi, Manish Pandey, Wriddhiman Saha, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Rashid Khan, Abhishek Sharma, T Natarajan, Priyam Garg

Sunrisers Hyderabad Actual Playing XI:

Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan, Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, KS Williamson, David Warner, Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Abu Dhabi has a hot and humid weather with no chances of rain. We can expect dew to play a big role in the latter stages of the match.  

Venue Details

Abu Dhabi has been the least run scoring of the three venues in UAE but still has an average score of 160+ in the three matches. Any score above 170 will be considered par and will be hard to chase.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams winning the toss has lost 7 out of 8 matches played so far and captains will hope they lose the toss (LOL…pun intended). Chasing teams have won 2 out of three matches here and we expect both teams to chase down the total.
