The Ekana Cricket Stadium will favour players like David Warner and Rishabh Pant. These batters generally like to spend some time in the middle before switching gears and it is precisely what the wicket will demand of them. In the case of the bowlers, the man in form for DC, Khaleel Ahmed, will be crucial to their chances, as his subtle change of pace and length could be crucial. However let us take a deeper look at the numbers of the players and try to determine the three potential match-winners for DC in the game.
Three Match-winners for Delhi Capitals
David Warner
The Aussie superstar has a pretty ordinary record against the LSG. However, the last time these two teams played against each other at the Ekana Cricket stadium, David Warner played a fine hand with the bat. He scored 56 runs off 48 balls, and on a slowish wicket, the team management will be hoping for a similar start from Warner. The southpaw, with his maturity and experience, could emerge as one of the match-winners for DC.
Rishabh Pant
The DC skipper has decent numbers against LSG. Rishabh Pant has played two games against LSG and has scored 83 runs in them, with his highest being 44. Pant has a strike rate of over 125 against LSG, and such a kind of an innings could prove to be crucial in an expectedly low-scoring clash.
Khaleel Ahmed
The Indian left-arm pacer has been the greatest asset for DC in the bowling department in IPL 2024. Khaleel Ahmed has already picked up seven wickets in the tournament and is currently the highest wicket-taker for his team. He has picked up wickets in almost all phases of a game, and that makes him a very crucial player. Khaleel did an excellent job when DC faced LSG in IPL 2023 at the same venue. In that game, he picked up a couple of wickets while conceding 30 runs in his four overs. So, Khaleel will have the confidence to impact the game as a match-winner for DC.
