DC Team News & Playing 11
DC Team News
Without Ravichandran Ashwin since the shoulder injury he suffered in the first game, Delhi Capitals could stick with a similar side to the one beaten by Sunrisers last time out. Too many players fell short, where previously their individual form had been good.
DC Key Players
- Shikhar Dhawan: Hit 35 and 34 in his last two innings as he looks to get back to his big-hitting best at the top of the order.
- Kagiso Rabada: Leading the Delhi bowling so far with some excellent returns, taking 2-28, 3-26 and most recently 2-21 on his way to seven wickets so far.
- Prithvi Shaw: The star of their most recent win, that innings showcased what he can do at the top of the order.
DC Team Form
A thrilling tie with Kings XI Punjab, after holding their nerve in the final two balls, ended with a Delhi win in the super-over. They then comfortably saw off Chennai Super Kings after more good bowling from Kagiso Rabada and Prithvi Shaw’s excellent half-century. Last time out, Delhi – chasing 163 to win – could only reach 147/7.
DC Predicted Playing 11
Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma

After a second consecutive win last time out, Kolkata Knight Riders could be unchanged again this time out. They may move Eoin Morgan up the order, however.

- Andre Russell: Bowled well in the first two games, returning figures of 1-17 and 1-16 and, last time out, he let loose with the bat on his way to 24 from 14 balls.
- Pat Cummins: The Aussie quick took 1-13 from three overs last time out, dismissing international team-mate Steve Smith to set the tone early on.
KKR Team Form
Kolkata Knight Riders started with a heavy defeat to Mumbai Indians but they have bounced back well. Shubman Gill has top-scored in each of their last two games as they chased 143 to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad and then hit 174/6 on their way to a 37-run defeat of Rajasthan Royals.
