Team News

Mitchell Marsh replaced Sarfaraz Khan in Delhi’s playing XI while Akash Deep misses out and Harshal Patel makes comeback in RCB’s playing XI. 

Both team captains at the toss

Faf du Plessis The pitch looks a little bit direr than anticipated. Chennai had two quality batters, putting up a massive partnership there, not looking too much further than that. Breaking up the overs in the middle is something we spoke about and just the combination of the bowlers. It’s an obvious thing when you come here, you look at the short side and the big side, that’s always tactically how well or how badly you play the short and big boundaries. Tonight’s going to be no different. Harshal Patel is back which is great. He’s an experienced X-factor player. Akash Deep goes out of the side.

Rishabh Pant We will like to bowl first. The wicket is looking on the drier side, we want to make use of it. Mitch comes in for Sarfaraz Khan. Not decided yet, maybe he’ll bat three and I’ll bat four. Keep believing in the process and let’s take one match at a time and give our 100%. Hopefully, we can capitalise on the shorter side.
