DC made some changes in their team for the game against Punjab. The move to play Nepali spinner Sandeep Lamichhane paid off instantly as he picked two wickets during the middle overs and didn’t leak too many runs. Delhi was on the verge of victory when they needed 23 runs off 22 balls but a horrible collapse led them to a humiliating defeat by 14 runs.
They are likely to play either Manjot Kalra or Axar Patel in place of Hanuma Vihari, who spoiled two given chances. Amit Mishra can also comeback in place of Avesh Khan who had poor outing against Punjab.
Probable XI: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Colin Ingram, Manjot Kalra/Axar Patel, Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel, Sandeep Lamichhane.
Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH’s last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore was the most one-sided match of this season. Hyderabad outplayed RCB in all departments and won the game by a huge margin of 118 runs. Their top-order is leading the team from the front as they shared a 100-run partnership in all three matches of this season. Meanwhile, both Jonny Bairstow and David Warner notched up their respective centuries against RCB to post a mammoth total of 231/2 in 20 overs.
They may not make any changes if Kane Williamson is still nursing his injury. But if he returns, SRH will have to make two or three changes in their team. In this case, Deepak Hooda will make way for Williamson while last match’s hero Mohammad Nabi has to sit out for Shahbaz Nadeem.
Probable XI: Jonny Bairstow (WK), David Warner, Vijay Shankar, Manish Pandey, Yusuf Pathan, Mohammad Nabi, Deepak Hooda, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (C), Sandeep Sharma, Siddarth Kaul.
