Team News

Both teams had a contrasting season. One will be playing for Dignity and the other will be playing to secure a place in the top two. Both teams have been affected by the South African team training camp as some of their key players have left the team.

Delhi Daredevils:

• Unavailable players – Sam Billings, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada and Angelo Matthews.
• Having already knocked out, they might give Ben Hilfenhaus a game in place of Marlon Samuels or Pat Cummins.
• Rishabh Pant injured his finger badly in the last match. So, if he is not fully fit, DD may go with Ankit Bawne or Aditya Tare and Samson will keep the wickets.
• Also, Dhoni’s struggle against spin might tempt DD management to give chance to Shahbaz Nadeem in place of Mohammad Shami.
• Rest of the squad is expected to remain the same that fielded in the last match.

Rising Pune Supergiant:

• Unavailable players – Imran Tahir and Faf du Plessis (left for the training camp ahead of Champions Trophy).
• Unavailability of Imran Tahir will force a change and Adam Zampa is most likely to come in for him.
• Rest of the squad is expected to remain the same.
