Delhi Capitals (DC)
David Warner has 228 runs this season but at a below-par strike rate of just 116.92. But this could be a fixture where he can look to give that rather unflattering statistic a jump, as he strikes at 144.62 against Umesh Yadav, at 153.04 against Sunil Narine and at 218.18 against Andre Russell. Jowever, Umesh has dismissed him five times in 65 balls.
Probable XI: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner (c), Mitchell Marsh, Yash Dhull, Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Abhishek Porel (wk), Lalit Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahman
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Suyash Sharma will be licking his lips to bowl at a venue where two opposition wrist spinners – Rashid Khan and Piyush Chawla – have got the better of Delhi Capitals’ batting order to set their sides up for wins at this venue. Additionally, Umesh, KKR’s PowerPlay option, matches up well against Prithvi Shaw having dismissed him a couple of times in 16 balls.
Probable XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz/Jason Roy, N Jagadeesan, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Shardul Thakur, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Varun CV, Suyash Sharma
