Playing XI for Delhi Daredevils: Aditya Tare, Sam Billings, Karun Nair, Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant(w), Corey Anderson, Chris Morris, Pat Cummins, Amit Mishra, Shahbaz Nadeem, Zaheer Khan(c)



Zaheer : It looks a good wicket and we were planning to do the same thing. It is 20-over-a-side and it will not change much. DD is known for this - not starting to well. Everyone is up for it and are ready for the challenge. Just the one change; Carlos is out and Corey Anderson is in.

Rahane : We will look to bowl. The wicket looks really good. There was dew in the last game we played here and hence the decision to field. Unfortunately Smith is not well and I had to step in. It is an opportunity for the boys and hopefully we will do well. Stomach bug keeps Smith out. Unfortunately Manoj Tiwary lost his father today and he is out. Zampa comes in for Daniel Christian.
