Delhi Capitals have been one of the most consistent teams over the last 3 years in the IPL. They have got exceptional bench strength and might experiment in this match to keep their main players fresh ahead of the playoffs. In a thrilling contest, they went on beat Chennai Super Kings in their previous fixture by 3 wickets in the final over of the match.

Best economical pick – Harshal Patel became the highest wicket-taker among Indian bowlers in a single edition of the IPL with 29 wickets. He achieved this feat in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, surpassing Jasprit Bumrah’s 27 wickets.

Top captains & vice captains – Glenn Maxwell is ruling the second leg of the IPL with his exceptional batting performances.

Cautious Pick – Prithvi Shaw had started his season with some solid performances and was looking quite invincible in the Indian conditions. However, ever since he has come down to the UAE, his form has experienced a dip and he has not really got going in this time. He has scored 11, 10, 6, and 18 in the four innings he has played so far and can be avoided for other batters who have shown consistent performances. It will be a wise decision to pick players who have got going and are in form.
