Visakhapatnam: Delhi Capitals (DC) win toss, opt to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Eliminator of IPL 2019 at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium here.
The winner of today's game will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 2, while the losing team will be knocked out of the tournament.
Interestingly, DC will have an advantage over SRH due to their record in away matches. Although DC will miss the services of Kagiso Rabada, who has scalped 25 wickets in IPL 2019, they have the experience of Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult and Amit Mishra.
On the other hand, for Hyderabad, Manish Pandey and Martin Guptill have swiftly filled the void left by David Warner and Jonny Bairstow and skipper Kane Williamson's form is a good sign for the team as the captain struggled to put runs on board after he returned from injury.
Talking about the team news then, Colin Munro comes in for Colin Ingram in DC lineup, while Deepak Hooda replaces Yusuf Pathan in SRH.
Teams:
Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Colin Munro, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, Keemo Paul, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult
