Delhi Bulls will be back in action as they face the high-flying Maratha Arabians in the first of three matches on Thursday as part of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2019 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The Bulls will be eyeing a return to winning ways after coming up short against Northern Warriors in their previous clash. However, they will have their task cut out against a side that has scored 130+ in their last two outings.
The Maratha Arabians are placed higher up the table with only one loss in five games and will look to end their Super League campaign with a win. Here are a few tips to help you pick your Dream11 team for DEB vs MAR.
Squads to choose from
Delhi Bulls
Eoin Morgan (C), Kusal Perera, Sherfane Rutherford, Mohammad Usman, Angelo Mathews, Mohammad Nabi, Ravi Rampaul, Ali Khan, Adil Rashid, Dusmantha Chameera, David Willey, Paul Stirling, Zaheer Khan, Tobias Visee and Waheed Ahmed.
Maratha Arabians
Chris Lynn (C), Dwayne Bravo, Yuvraj Singh, Hazratullah Zazai, Najibullah Zadran, Adam Lyth, Mohammed Qasim, Dasun Shanaka, Chadwick Walton, Lasith Malinga, Mitchell McClenaghan, James Fuller and Wanindu Hasaranga.

Playing XI Updates
Delhi Bulls
Although they did fall short against Northern Warriors, Delhi Bulls shouldn't be tinkering with their squad combination. Khary Pierre had an off day on Tuesday which could see him drop out off the side for Will Jacks.
This would add more firepower to the batting unit with five bowling options available in the side. Eoin Morgan and Kusal Perera will be crucial to their fortunes with the bat, with both of them in very good touch. Ravi Rampaul has been the standout bowler in the entire T10 League with an economy of 8.38 to show for his efforts in the death overs.
Possible XI: Kusal Perera (WK), Usman, Rutherford, Morgan(C), Mathews, Jacks, Willey, Nabi, Rampaul, Ali Khan and Chameera
Maratha Arabians
The Arabians have no reason to change their squad combination after a washout against Karnataka Tuskers. Chris Lynn and Adam Lyth are in supreme touch in the top order although they will be concerned with the form of Hazratullah Zazai.
They have a long batting unit to depend on, although it is their bowling trio of Mitchell McClenaghan, Lasith Malinga and Dwayne Bravo who are crucial to the outcome of this match. Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga provide the balance in the side while fulfilling the fifth bowlers' duties.
Possible XI: Lynn (C), Zazai, Walton (WK), Lyth, Najibullah, Shanaka, Hasaranga, Bravo, McClenaghan, Malinga and Shiraz.

Pitch Report
As is the case with all the games in the tournament, another high-scoring match is on the cards. With a slight drizzle on Wednesday, the pitch might slow down, although 100 is a bare minimum in this format.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Kusal Perera has been in decent form for the Bulls and should be the ideal pick for the wicket-keeper slot. Although Chadwick Walton is the more explosive of the two, he bats in the middle order which doesn't give him much time to make an impact.
Batsmen: Eoin Morgan has scored 156 runs so far and has been the best among the Delhi Bulls batsmen. He is a must-have in the side along with the duo of Sherfane Rutherford and Adam Lyth.
Another worthwhile option would be Chris Lynn, who has scored two back-to-back fifties in the T10 League 2019. One can also pick Hazratullah Zazai instead of Adam Lyth, with the Afghan due for a big one in the tournament.
All-rounders: Dwayne Bravo and Mohammad Nabi are the preferred all-rounders for this game with their bowling ability being crucial. Both of them have already picked a few wickets in the tournament and look good for more as well. With no other viable options left, Nabi and Bravo should suffice.
Bowlers: One or both of Lasith Malinga and Mitchell McClenaghan should be picked with their experience and ability already making a mark in the tournament. Ravi Rampaul is another invaluable asset to the fantasy team with his death bowling skills being exemplary. One of Dushmantha Chameera or Ali Khan should suffice as the final bowling option.
Captain: Chris Lynn is in red hot form right now and should be a bankable option as a captain or vice-captain. Along with the Aussie, Eoin Morgan and Kusal Perera are also contenders for the same. If he does manage to keep his place in the side, Hazratullah Zazai would also be a good pick.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Kusal Perera, Adam Lyth, Chris Lynn, Sherfane Rutherford, Eoin Morgan, Mohd Nabi, Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell McClenaghan, Lasith Malinga, Dusmantha Chameera and Ravi Rampaul. Captain: Chris Lynn, Vice-Captain: Kusal Perera
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Kusal Perera, Chris Lynn, Eoin Morgan, Sherfane Rutherford, Hazratullah Zazai, Dwayne Bravo, Mohd Nabi, Mitchell McClenaghan, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ravi Rampaul and Ali Khan. Captain: Eoin Morgan, Vice-Captain: Hazratullah Zazai
