DC Team News & Playing 11
DC Team News
Due to illness, Mitchell Marsh missed our for Delhi Capitals ahead of their surprise victory over Gujarat Titans with the South African Rilee Rossouw coming back into the team. Marsh is expected to be in good health for this game and we anticipate he will be back in the XI.
DC Key Players
- David Warner - The left-handed Australian has been a great leader for the team this year. However, he has hit only two runs across his last two matches and needs to re-find his form in this game.
- Aman Hakim Khan - The batting all-rounder was the main reason that Delhi Capitals posted a competitive total against Gujarat Titans after he hit 51.
- Ishant Sharma - The right-arm pace bowler has been a great performer for Delhi Capitals this season and dismissed Vijay Shankar and Rahul Tewatia in the last game.
DC Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Khaleel Ahmed, Lalit Yadav, Yash Dhull, Praveen Dubey, Abhishek Porel
The left-arm pace bowler, Khaleel Ahmed, gets swing at most venues and will be a useful bowling option. Abhishek Porel is a keeper-batter if Delhi require additional runs.
DC Team Form
Delhi Capitals have won three of their last four matches and recorded the biggest upset of the season when they beat Gujarat Titans during the week.

Harshal Patel, Sonu Yadav, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Michael Bracewell Shahbaz Ahmed
