Here's how Delhi Daredevils may line up for the match:

Batting

Opener Quinton de Kock has been the best batsman on display for the Delhi Daredevils in 2016 season of the IPL. The southpaw has scored 381 runs in 10 innings and was the first centurion in the tournament this year. Sanju Samson has also been in decent form with 261 runs and so has Karun Nair, who has scored 222 runs including a couple of important fifties.

Rishabh Pant, who played for India in the recent Under-19 World Cup, has also shown a lot of promise with a tally of 161 runs in 7 innings at an impressive strike-rate of 140. JP Duminy has also looked in good touch, having scored 160 runs at a 50-plus average in 6 innings. The batting looks quite settled for Delhi but they will have to play even better if they want to help their team qualify for the playoffs.

All-rounders

Chris Morris has easily been the top all-rounder for Delhi Daredevils in the ninth edition of the tournament. The South African is the 2nd highest wicket-taker for his team this year and has also scored quick runs for them in the lower order at an incredible strike-rate in excess of 180. None of the other all-rounders have been able to make an impact for the Daredevils this season.

Bowling

Indian leg-spinner Amit Mishra has been the bowling star for DD in this season with 13 wickets in 11 matches already and best figures of 4 for 11. Morris, too, has been highly impressive with the ball as he has claimed 11 wickets and boasts of an economy rate of under 7, which is an incredible feat in T20 cricket.

Their skipper Zaheer Khan has not done badly either with 9 wickets in the same number of matches. Imran Tahir has played a few matches in the 2016 IPL but has not been as impressive. Also, paceman Mohammed Shami has been a disappointment with just 5 wickets and an economy rate of 9 per over.

Probable Playing XI

Quinton de Kock (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, JP Duminy, Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, Zaheer Khan, Imran Tahir, Mohammed Shami.
