Can DC put an end to SRH’s high flights tonight?
Please send your thoughts, opinions, frustrations, disappointments, and what not from tonight’s BIG DCvSRH gathering to @PrakashG_CB. We will put the best on this blog. Really!
You played, Shikhar!
He has scored a good half century and has now surpassed his best record in a season. 569 for Deccan Chargers in 2012.

Rashid attacks!
You have one to get away from Stoinis a bit to go ahead and crash the top of the stump. Stoinis did not move his feet and tried to push him, but failed. Rashid even seemed to have given the Australian a farewell that the latter did not fully appreciate. He has opted for a 38 of 27 balls.
Is DC pulling SRH out of this game slowly but surely?
Excellent material from Stoinis and Dhawan here. They’ve lost all of their shyness at the top in the perfect match, and they’re also being helped by the fact that SRH is a little nervous and nervous about the start DC’s starters have gotten off of. If the dew doesn’t show up tonight, this game is quickly slipping out of SRH’s grasp.
This is perhaps the best situation for DC to face Rashid. They have fought againstin both games this season, but now you can afford to play him after the kind of start they’ve had.
Rashid is here … must DC be careful?
Rashid vs DC at IPL 2020
The Stoinis movement has already worked …
Regardless of what happens from here, DC has made a good move here. They’ve secured the good start they’ve been lacking in recent games, as DC broke 65/0 on their PowerPlay. This is only the second time SRH has failed to pick a wicket in the first six overs.
SRH has clearly been shaken since Holder’s downfall, and Shahbaz Nadeem also started poorly at a 15-run. A massive intermediate phase is coming, and it will be interesting to see how Warner uses Rashid and T Natarajan.
Stoinis lands
More trouble for Jason Holder then. Stoinis has crushed him by three-four-six in a run of 18 to give Ricky Ponting a reason to smile. Excellent decision to clear with the Australian and it turns out that it is working so far. SRH badly needs a wicket here. Could Warner turn to Rashid sooner? We will have to wait and watch.
This silly ploy almost worked!
Oh Jason Holder! Sandeep Sharma should have had a Stoinis wicket early in his second round. The SRH pacemaker was making the ball swing towards the great Australian and he laid down a silly half. Stoinis played exactly as SRH expected and placed one to the right of Holder, which the West Indies should have held on to. But he doesn’t and Stoinis throws salt on Sandeep’s wounds, hitting him two fours right away. How expensive is this lady going to be?
Wondering why Stoinis opens? This is why:

Final thoughts before the game starts …
Excellent from DC to put all your eggs in the batting basket. They have firepower on paper and they hope that comes alive today. It’s quite fascinating that they tried it against one of the best bowling teams in the tournament, especially since the pitches started to decline.
As SRH Bowl first, we have to talk about one of their overseas stars who has made a quick impact recently. Narbavi wrote about how Jason Holder has cracked the T20 template this season.
Instant hit from Jason Holder for SRH
Playing XI:
Capitals of Delhi:Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (w), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Praveen Dubey, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

Is DC about to pull this rabbit out of the hat?
Delhi Capitals should consider opening up the batting with Marcus Stoinis alongside Shikhar Dhawan for a good start. He was brilliant opening batting in the Big Bash league @PrakashG_CB #DCvSRH # IPL2020

Interesting call in the draw …
Shreyas Iyer has made the bold decision to hit first here. The deciding factor for that call has been the fact that DC has lost both of their games to SRH so far while chasing. And the fact that SRH seemed vulnerable in a chase two nights ago against RCB (Iyer’s words, not mine!).
TOSS: Delhi Capitals opts to hit first. Shimron Hetmyer returns
The last time they met …
… Wriddihman Saha’s punt worked spectacularly. He went after DC on the PowerPlay and went on to smash an 87 of 45 balls, while Warner himself scored a 66 of 34 balls. In what was a must-win game, SRH scored 214/2 and then defended exceptionally well to tie. DC to 131 and further improve your NRR.
Dew’s Hideout …
What might be interesting to watch tonight is the impact the lack of dew from the last game has on decision making. Dew was making his presence felt a bit and having teams lean into bowling first, all the way to the SRH-RCB Eliminator, where the chasing side raged and puffed on their way to a victory looking for a 131 way below. of the pair. the dew didn’t show up, RCB’s double-legged attack made life very difficult for SRH and it was up to Kane Williamson’s class to avoid a season-ending loss. So since Dew decided not to show up just two days ago, what would the captains want to do to win the draw here?
The recent trend of Abu Dhabi: The last nine games have been won by teams that hit second
Trajectory in Abu Dhabi …
DC:Played 4 | Won 1 | Lost 3
SRH:Played 4 | Won 2 | Lost 2
Narratives …
DC:The Delhi Capitals were the team that took advantage of the generous conditions for fast pitchers early and unleashed two exceptional rapids in Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada. Despite Rishabh Pant’s shaky start, DC’s hitting was fine too, as they found an unlikely hero in Marcus Stoinis, who didn’t enjoy his time at RCB last season. However, he has been DC’s middle order enforcer.
DC has also had to deal with key player injuries in Ishant Sharma and Amit Mishra, but the tables turned only after conditions began to slow down on worn fields in all three places. Shreyas Iyer’s team have lost five of their last six matches, including the first Qualifier where the Mumbai Indians crushed them completely.
SRH:David Warner’s team started very slow, struggling from lack of depth in midfield, losing Mitchell Marsh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to injuries, while teams took a 2019 IPL sheet and opted to play all four of Rashid Khan’s overs. They lost six games in the first nine and at one point struggled to avoid the wooden spoon. Then conditions changed, and so did his destiny. Although they suffered a devastating defeat in 127’s pursuit of KXIP, they picked up the pieces, put it together, and had a run that got them here. The big decision to bench Jonny Bairstow in search of a better balance has worked for them, while Warner has also enjoyed the brush of the green when it comes to shooting – no one has won as many as he has this season (11 in 15 games). ).
En route to Qualifier 2 …
DC: LLLWL
SRH: LWWWW
Prelude: Will DC be able to reach their first IPL final?
Wouldn’t that be wonderful? IPL is in its thirteenth year, but the title has mostly changed hands between MI (4 titles) and CSK (3 titles), while KKR (2), SRH (1), RR (1) and the now defunct Deccan Chargers (1) have also helped shape the league’s narrative. So each season, the expectation is that the teams that have not yet opened their account will do so and give a strong testimonial about the competitiveness of the league.
SRH eliminated one of those teams in the Eliminator clash, ending RCB’s hopes of a turnaround after all these glitz but inglorious years. That wait, unfortunately for Virat Kohli & Co., continues.
And having done that, SRH is now targeting another silver contender for the first time at Delhi Capitals. The history of the Delhi IPL is even more checkered than that of RCB, as it never reached the final in any season. When they finished second in the league stage this time around, they created the record for being the only team to finish in every available position in the points table since the start of the tournament.
