On Sunday, both the teams will be looking forward to continuing the winning momentum and SRH will looking get some momentum back. Let us have a look at the probable XIs of the match:
Delhi Capitals (DC)
DC’s top order is one of the strongest in the league but they have won just one game so far at the Feroz Shah Kotla. The in-form Rishabh Pant will have to take on the RCB spinners on this slow surface while Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan must not lose their wicket early in the innings. On the other hand, Delhi’s bowling has been brilliant this season and their lead pacer, Kagiso Rabada is on the top of the wicket-takers’ charts with 23 wickets from 11 matches. Even, the young Sandeep Lamichchane will be looking to trouble Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers with his leg-spin early on in the innings.
Probable XI: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer(C), Rishabh Pant(WK), Colin Ingram, Chris Morris, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Sandeep Lamichchane, Amit Mishra and Ishant Sharma
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
RCB’s batting is their biggest strength and in their last 3 games, and even their bowlers have taken their hands up defend the total set by the batsman. Virat Kohli will be expecting some runs under his belt while AB de Villiers will look to carry on his momentum and thrash the Delhi bowlers. However, they have to find an apt replacement for the in-form Moeen Ali. Navdeep Saini has been brilliant this season, but Yuzvendra Chahal will be the key bowler on this Delhi track.
Probable XI: Parthiv Patel (wk), Virat Kohli (c), AB De Villiers, Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer/ Colin de Grandhomme, Akshdeep Nath/ Shivam Dube, Wahington Sundar, Tim Southee Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Navdeep Saini
