IPL 2020 | Qualifier 2: DC vs SRH - Match Preview, Predicted XI & Dream11 Fantasy Picks

Abhishek Singh

After two contrasting results in their respective last games, both Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad would be on their toes to secure a spot in the final. For Delhi it would be even more intense as the franchise would be trying to make it to the finals for the first time in 13 years, while Hyderabad has been able to do it twice before, winning once and losing the other time.

Delhi Capitals looked totally out of sorts in their qualifier against Mumbai Indians as neither the bowlers nor the batsmen were able to cope up with the pressure built by the opposition. Hyderabad on the other hand have been able to transcend into the best version of themselves in the past four games and look like the only team that can challenge the might of Mumbai Indians.  

Rabada-Nortje-Dhawan: Three Musketeers on whom Delhi’s hopes lie

In the entire tournament, Delhi have been able to win games in which the three have been able to perform to their potential or at least two of them have been able to hit the rhythm. The initial phase of the IPL saw Kagiso Rabada hit form while Anrich Nortje helped in the middle phase of the game. Shikhar Dhawan did well in the middle as well. So these are the three people that Delhi would have to back on to deliver for them.

While Dhawan is among the top run-getters, Nortrje and Rabada to are among the leaders in the bowling table, therefore they have the potential to win it for the team.


Holder-Williamson would have the SRH baton in their hands

In the last few matches, Jason Holder has proved those correct who picked him as the best bet to replace Mitchell Marsh. Holder has picked up 13 wickets and has also played crucial innings in the chases. Kane Williamson in the last game did what he has been known the best for – keeping calm in pressure situations and finishing the chase. Hyderabad would be happy to see him in form and do the best for the team.


Qualifier 2 - DC vs SRH: Match Details

Match Number- 59 

Date: 07 November 2020, at 7:30 PM IST, 06:00 PM Local, 2.00 PM GMT

Venue: Abu Dhabi

Broadcast: Star Sports and Hotstar

Pitch Report

The pitch in Abu Dhabi performed not at all in the way it has been expected. It not only offered swing to the pace bowlers in the first innings but was two-paced right from the start as well. In this case, it would be hard to predict how the pitch would play in this game. In such situations, the best thing for a captain is to lose the toss.

Weather and Toss:

The weather in Abu Dhabi has been ideal for playing cricket as it has remained precipitation free and the humidity has gone down as well. The toss becomes crucial in the sense that the team fielding first would at least have a target in front of themselves, which is always ideal in a situating as tough as qualification, especially on a wicket that the team is not sure about and dew anticipated.

Team News

Delhi Capitals

The Delhi Capitals could not deliver with probably their best team in the tournament. In such a scenario, it seems highly unlikely that they would change. However, the change that seems possible is Daniel Sams and Prithvi Shaw getting out and Harshal Patel and Shimron Hetmyer coming to the team in their place.

Expected XI

Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Harshalo Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers have been playing their best form of cricket so far and in such a situation, they would obviously not change the team. If Wriddhiman Saha is fit by game time, he is a natural selection in the team in place of Sreevats Goswami.

Expected XI

David Warner (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan

Qualifier 2 - DC vs SRH: Dream 11 team and suggestion

Shikhar Dhawan, David Warner (c), Kane Williamson, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Jason Holder (vc), Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

Captain: David Warner

Vice- Captain: Jason Holder

IPL 2020: RCB think-tank open up on crucial selection calls against Sunrisers

After the Royal Challengers Bangalore crashed out of the tournament last night against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, the head of cricket operations, Mike Hesson and the head coach Simon Catich addressed the media on the outlook of the team’s performance in IPL 2020. OneCricket asked the duo about the contentious decision to drop Josh Philippe and bringing an out of form Aaron Finch who has really looked out of sorts this season and also Moeen Ali instead of bringing back Ishrur Udana who has shown his worth in the team this year. “Once we made the decision to open with Virat, that changed the whole dynamic of the potential batting order. We discussed if the young Josh would bat at number three or Moeen Ali will bat at that position looking at the matchups with the Sunrisers bowling attack. Fall of wickets at wrong times did not help the issue as the team had planned for Moeen to bat at number three but only if the wickets had fallen at the backend or after the end of the first powerplay,” RCB head coach Simon Catich said. On the question of Why Ishuru Udana, coach Catich heaped a lot of praise on the Sri Lankan left-arm pacer and said that he had provided the team with much-needed depth in the bowling department. However, he added that the decision to include Adam Zampa was purely based on the conditions and the type of pitch that was available for the last game as the think tank believed there will be a lot more purchase for spinners than a pacer and hence Zmapa made the cut above Udana.

Gautam Gambhir asks Virat Kohli to put his hands up and own failures of RCB

Former Indian Opener and one of the most successful captains in the history of the Indian Premier League, Gautam Gambhir has called for Virat Kohli’s removal from the captaincy of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He made his comments on the ESPNcricinfo post-match show after yet another flop show from him with both bat and as a captain as the RCB went crashing out of the tournament after the loss in the eliminator against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. “100%, because the problem is about accountability. Eight years into the tournament [without a trophy], eight years is a long time. Tell me any other captain…forget about the captain, tell me any other player who would have got eight years and wouldn’t have won the title and would have still continued with it. So it has to be accountability. A captain needs to take accountability,” Gambhir said in a live interaction on ESPNCricinfo. Gambhir directly questioned the reluctance of Kohli in admitting his failure as the leader of the side. He urged Kohli to put his stand up and show some guts like a good leader by accepting his failures in not winning the IPL title in the eight long years of his captaincy stint with the RCB. Gambhir was no short of criticising the freehand Kohli has been getting from the RCB management as he asked about the fate of other captains such as Ravichandran Ashwin who was sacked as the captain of the side after two seasons of failure for the Kings XI Punjab franchise. Gautam Gambhir has been one of the greatest captains of the IPL and had led the Kolkata Knight Riders to triumphs in the 2012 and 2014 season. The Royal Challengers Bangalore could not get it right on the big night against the Sunrisers and were proved not good enough, especially with the bat--their strongest suit when all were at stake for the team and its legacy in the history of the league.
