The two teams that are yet to play against each other in the Indian Premier League 2018 are Delhi Daredevils and Sunrisers Hyderabad. While SRH finds themselves at the top of the points table, Delhi Daredevils are lying near to the bottom of the table. Even one loss for Delhi and they will be out of the race. They now face the stiff challenge against Hyderabad at Hyderabad. Here is how the playing XI shape up
Delhi Daredevils
DD is on the seventh spot in the IPL points tally. Of the nine matches that they have played so far, Delhi has managed to win only three and have lost six. Every match is do-or-die for them.
In the last match against Rajasthan Royals, Delhi batted aggressively amidst the rain and posted a mammoth total of 196 in just 17 overs. RR ran very close to the total but in the end, Delhi managed to win in the last over bowled by Trent Boult.
The change for Delhi in the last match, Nadeem playing in place of Rahul Tewatia. They may go back to Tewatia to strengthen the batting a little bit.
Playing XI
Liam Plunkett, Amit Mishra, Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Nadeem/Rahul Tewatia, Colin Munro, Trent Boult, Vijay Shankar, Shreyas Iyer (c), Avesh Khan, Rishabh Pant (wk), Prithvi Shaw
Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH had a short break and now they are coming back in the tournament. They have a brilliant record as they have won six matches and have lost only two. They are on top of the table.
They defended 152 against Rajasthan Royals in the last match and their bowling without a doubt has been the strongest forte. The batting is still a concern with the Hyderabadi team.
In the last match, SRH again missed out on the services of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He is likely to be fit with week’s rest and will take Sandeep Sharma’s place.
Playing XI
Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Shikhar Dhawan, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Siddarth Kaul, Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson (c), Alex Hales, Sandeep Sharma/Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Basil Thampi, Rashid Khan
