HEAD TO HEAD

DC won: 5

No result: 1

VENUE: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

DATE: 29 September 2020

TIME: 7.30 pm as per Indian standard

PITCH REPORT:

Pitch in Abu Dhabi is a bit tacky as what we have seen earlier matches in the venue. Pitch has some grass and movement will be there in the first 4-5 overs for pace bowlers. Pitch will slow down in the second half of the game.

TOSS: 

Win the toss and bat as in the tournament batting first teams are winning, yes there will be dew but also the pitch will slow down in the second half of the game.

TEAM NEWS:

SRH: In the last match, SRH made three changes in which the only one was forced because of injury. Kane Williamson declared himself fit but it remains to be seen as SRH will play him in playing 11. Vijay Shankar was injured in the last match he might come back in the team if he is fit in place of Saha.

DC: Ravichandran Ashwin and Ishant Sharma both were bowling in the net practice but Delhi Capital likely did not include Ravi Ashwin to give more time as a precautionary measure. Ishant Sharma is likely to get his first match in place of Avesh Khan.

PROBABLE PLAYING 11: 

SRH: Johnny Bairstow, David Warner(c), Manish Pandey, Wriddhiman Saha/Vijay Shankar, Priyam Garg, Mohammad Nabi, Abhishek Sharma, Rashid Khan, Bhuvaneshvar Kumar, T Natrajan, Khaleel Ahmed

DC: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithwi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer(c), Shimron Hetmyer, Rishabh Pant(wk), Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma/Avesh Khan 

WHAT TO EXPECT: 

We could expect to be a more of a one-sided game if SRH openers fail again because they don't have a good middle nor has firepower. DC is looking to be the most balanced team of the tournament. Delhi Capitals is easily a favourite in the context but this is a t-20 format and anything unexpected things can happen.
