Delhi Capitals (DC)
Like he told the press, Ricky Ponting, along with David Warner, had a lengthy conversation with the DC batting group on the sidelines of their practice session on match eve. Both the Australians addressed the group, which Ponting had earlier asserted that they will be trying to address why they are failing to execute things on the field. Otherwise, the hosts are unlikely to make any changes to their winning combination. Mukesh Yadav proved an excellent Impact Sub and would likely be reprising the role.
Probable XI: David Warner (C), Philip Salt (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey, Sarfaraz Khan, Axar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, Ripal Patel, Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
With Washington ruled out, SRH will be looking to strengthen their batting with a proper batter/finisher at no. 7 instead and have him swapped for an Impact Sub (or vice-versa, depending on whether they bat first or bowl). Having chipped in two unbeaten cameos earlier in the season, Abdul Samad can be a possible replacement. Meanwhile, Harry Brook spent his time in the nets stepping out often and tonking quite a few of them down the ground, and a couple over the non-existent keeper’s head – more so against slower bowlers, in anticipation of what DC will likely be throwing at him tomorrow.
Probable XI: Abhishek Sharma, Harry Brook, Aiden Markram (C), Mayank Agarwal, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Marco Jansen, Abdul Samad, Mayank Markande, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik
Fantasy XI Suggestion 1:
Heinrich Klaasen, David Warner (vc), Mayank Agarwal, Harry Brook, Axar Patel (c), Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje
Fantasy XI Suggestion 2:
Heinrich Klaasen, David Warner, Mayank Agarwal, Harry Brook (c), Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Mitchell Marsh (vc), Aiden Markram, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje
