Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 20 of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2021 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, in Chennai. SRH will be coming off on a victory over Punjab Kings, while DC defeated Mumbai Indians by six wickets in their last encounter.
Team News
Sunrisers had an ordinary start to the campaign, losing three consecutive matches before finally tasting a victory against Punjab Kings. Kane Williamson’s inclusion added much-needed reliability in their shaky middle order. Rashid Khan will lead the spin department, and he will be assisted by Abhishek Sharma, who picked up two wickets in the last game.
Steven Smith’s adeptness against spin might come in handy for DC. He is likely to be tasked with the responsibility of negotiating the Rashid threat. Amit Mishra claimed four wickets against Mumbai Indians, but R Ashwin has failed to make his presence felt so far in the tournament.
Fantasy Picks
- Kane Williamson is a safe choice on the spin-friendly surface, while Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan can be picked as other batsmen in fantasy XI.
- Marcus Stoinis and Abhishek Sharma can be relied upon as all-rounders. Abhishek returned figures of 2-24 in the last match, and he can contribute with the bat as well.
- Rashid Khan and Amit Mishra are must-haves, considering the track will aid them throughout the innings.
