– Mitchell Marsh looks safest captain choice considering his one down batting and some part time overs with the bowl.
– David Warner might be a good VC choice considering his current top form with the bat.
– Didn’t took Ishan Kishan as he has averaged just 19 with bat in more than 15 Innings at this venue.
– Ramandeep Singh might be a decent punt as he’s expected to bat at three down and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Tilak Verma might come good with bat if any of the opening batter somehow doesn’t do well.
– Axar Patel should be preferred over Kuldeep Yadav especially if Delhi Capitals gets to bat in first innings.
– Khaleel Ahmed and Anrich Nortje have done pretty well at venue and H2H matches which makes them good picks.
– Didn’t took Shardul Thakur either as he might not get more than a wicket in two consecutive innings.

11. Anrich Nortje
– Going heavy on Delhi Capitals as they’re the favourites to win this encounter.
