Probable XI

Delhi Capitals

Sandeep Lamichhane

DC could bring Sandeep Lamichhane to replace Keemo Paul who had a poor outing, with both bat and ball, against MI. There are no other changes expected.

Probable XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Colin Munro, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Chris Morris, Axar Patel, Keemo Paul, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma.

Kings XI Punjab

Nicholas Pooran

KXIP are likely to stick with the same XI which defeated RR on Tuesday. This means Nicholas Pooran will get one more chance despite his poor performance.

Probable XI: Chris Gayle, KL Rahul (WK), Mayank Agarwal, David Miller, Nicholas Pooran, Mandeep Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin (C), Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Murugan Ashwin, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami.
