The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has entered its final stages as in next 10 days or so the league stages will be finished and the much-awaited playoffs will be commenced. However, the next match of the league stages will be played between the two teams which had a pretty contrasting journey so far in the ongoing season of IPL, Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Delhi. The game will be a do-or-die one for the hosts as they are virtually out of the contention for playoffs, whereas a win here for SRH will make them the first entrant into the IPL 2018 playoffs. In the last game between them in Hyderabad, the hosts crushed the visitors dominatingly.
Despite the fact that both the teams have had a contrasting journey so far in IPL 2018, DD and SRH do have a bunch of proven match winners in the respective squads. Let us have a look at 5 such players from both the teams.
Prithvi Shaw (DD)
In the last games against SRH, Prithvi Shaw walked in with a new opening partner Glen Maxwell. Maxwell’s dismissal in the second over had no effect whatsoever on Shaw. He played his natural attacking game and ended up scoring his second IPL half-century, 65 (36), with the help of six fours and three sixes. In the season so far, he has scored 205 runs with an average of 41 and a strike rate of 170+.
