How do the teams stack up?

Delhi Daredevils

Delhi might like to try the opening partnership of Prithvi Shaw and Glen Maxwell again as Jason roy underperformed against SRH. The middle order looks stronger than ever with Rishabh Pant scoring his first IPL century last night. Shreyas Iyer who got run out against SRH will hope to score well. Harshal Patel played a brisk innings with the bat and did a fine job with the ball. There might be some interesting hanges in the bowling unit. Sandeep Lamichhane might come in to the spin attack with Shahbaz Nadeem. Liam Plunkett is likely to be replaced by Junior Dala.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Royal Challengers Bangalore are in a must win situation as they face Delhi. The RCB squad will work on their batting skills. Except for Virat Kohli, the rest of the batting lineup has blown hot and cold since the start of IPL 2018. AB de Villiers needs to step up and do his job right. Colin de Grandhomme has batted well at the lower middle order and looks good as a finisher. RCB’s bowling has evolved really well. Mohammed Siraj and Tim Southee toughen the pace attack while Yuzvedra Chahal bowls economically.
