The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has reached its final super weekend and the first game this Sunday will be played between Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Mumbai Indians (MI) in Delhi. It will be a virtual do-or-die game for MI as a loss here will rule them out of the IPL 2018 as they are having six wins under their belt after first 13 matches. Both the teams had a similar journey so far as DD is out of the contention to qualify for the playoffs and standing at the bottom-most position at the table, while MI is at the fifth in the IPL 2018 points table.
The last time these two locked horns with each other, DD had defeated MI comfortably in a high-scoring encounter. However, there is no doubt about the fact that both the teams do have proven match-winners in their respective squads who can single-handedly take the game away from any opposition. Let us have a look at 5 such players from both the teams:
1. Harshal Patel (DD)
On Friday, against CSK, After 19 overs, Delhi Daredevils’ score had reached 136-5 and they were in desperate need of a final touch to their innings. It was at this point in time that Harshal Patel (3) and Vijay Shankar (1) hit four sixes in an over to bolster their team’s chances.
The innings from Harshal Patel of 36* from 14 balls turned the match in the favor of Delhi Daredevils and made the very difficult for Chennai Super Kings on a difficult track. It will be interesting to see how he bats now.
