DC vs SRH: How to pick the winning Dream11?
Delhi Capitals face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 Eliminator at Vizag on Wednesday. The winner will need to play Qualifier Two next in order to make it to the final. Fans will be hoping to pick a winning Dream11 team for this exciting battle between the two teams. Here we decode the same.
A powerful batting unit on offer
We have gone with the experienced Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson to open the batting in this Dream11 team. The two Kiwi players have what it takes to come strong on a big occasion. Williamson gets the nod as vice-captain. In-form Shreyas Iyer is the captain of this side. He is joined by Manish Pandey and wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant in the middle order.
Axar and Rutherford are the two all-rounders
DC players Sherfane Rutherford and Axar Patel are the two all-rounders. Patel has done the right things with the ball. He is their decisive factor in the middle overs. Rutherford provides balance both with bat and ball. He can lift DC against SRH.
Khaleel, Boult power this bowling quartet
The four-man bowling attack consists of real steel and authority. Khaleel Ahmed has been solid since coming on for SRH. He has picked up 17 wickets in eight games. Rashid Khan is the lone main spinner in this unit. The Afghan's role is vital. Trent Boult and Ishant Sharma are the two other pacers. They will look to dictate the show.
Predicted starting XI and possible winners
Predicted DC starting XI: Dhawan, Shaw, Iyer (captain), Pant (wk), Ingram, Axar, Rutherford, Mishra, Ishant, Boult and Lamichhane. Predicted SRH starting XI: Guptill, Saha (wicket-keeper), Williamson (captain), Pandey, Shankar, Nabi, Abhishek, Rashid, Bhuvi, Khaleel and Thampi. It's expected to be an intense affair between the two teams. We feel DC might pip SRH here. They have a better balance on offer.
