Kings XI Punjab - Andrew Tye

Andrew Tye is known for the wide variety of balls he delivers and his ability to bowl in the death overs. He was the Purple Cap-winner of the 2018 IPL with 24 wickets from 14 matches, and has picked 37 IPL wickets from 21 matches overall. He entered the 2019 IPL after a good BBL season where he picked up 17 wickets.

Tye has played 2 matches for KXIP this season but has failed to do anything significant. He has picked only 2 wickets whilst going for plenty of runs. However, he remains one of the leading death bowlers on the circuit and will play a major role in restricting the likes of Rishabh Pant and co.

Delhi Capitals - Colin Ingram

BBL - Strikers v Hurricanes

Colin Ingram entered the IPL after an excellent PSL season in which he became the first overseason player to score a century.

He started this IPL season well, scoring a 32 ball 47 in the first match. However, in the next two matches, he was dismissed for 2 and 10 respectively and DC would expect him to start finding the gaps and picking up runs to help strengthen the middle order.
