Table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad have been nearly invincible at home but they will face a side that's been throwing some surprises almost every game to tackle their opposition this season. What will the Delhi Daredevils do tonight to take on the SRH's famed pace attack?
The visitors come from a four-day break and are raring to go especially after losing their last two matches. A win tonight will send them to the third spot above the Kolkata Knight Riders. How their young batting line up handles Mustafizur could determine this contest. Their bowlers will have to be vary of SRH's openers David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan. One of these two have clicked almost every game for the home side in this year's edition and removing them both cheaply could put a lot of pressure on that middle order.
The race for the playoff spots get tighter and tighter with each game. What will match number 42 provide us with tonight?
Zaheer Khan is out with a niggle and it is JP Duminy who is leading the side tonight. The Daredevils will bowl first and have made four changes to their side but the home team Sunrisers Hyderabad are unchanged.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson, Yuvraj Singh, Moises Henriques, Deepak Hooda, Naman Ojha(w), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Barinder Sran, Ashish Nehra, Mustafizur Rahman
Delhi Daredevils (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Mayank Agarwal, Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Jean-Paul Duminy(c), Rishabh Pant, Jayant Yadav, Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Mohammed Shami
Jayant Yadav bowled well in the beginning to keep the home side down to 11 for no loss in the first three overs. But that is when Warner took charge of the situation and has helped his side get to 51 in the powerplay. He has raced to 32. Ominous signs for the Daredevils. They need to break this partnership.
