Mishra comes in for Boult

March 26, 2019 19:54

Delhi captain Shreyas has won the toss and elected to bat against Chennai in their 2nd match at home in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Delhi have brought in Amit Mishra in place of Trent Boult, while Chennai field an unchanged team.

It will be a battle where experience will be pitted against youth and astuteness will square off against flamboyance when King Dhoni faces his heir apparent Pant on what is expected to be another sluggish Feroz Shah Kotla track.

Pant has once again set the tone with a magnificent 78 off 27 balls in Delhi Capitals' 37-run away win against Mumbai Indians.

CSK, with their experience of winning important moments, will certainly make Capitals wary.

However, Chennai Super Kings will be a different challenge for the Capitals, who don't have an enviable record against Dhoni's men at their home ground.

The nature of the Kotla track makes CSK favourites with their spin troika of Harbhajan Singh, Ravindra Jadeja and Imran Tahir having already hit the straps in the low-scoring opener against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

While CSK will expect their batsmen to score more freely at the Kotla, Capitals would want their opening bowlers Trent Boult and Ishant Sharma to be a bit more economical.

Delhi Capitals XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Collin Ingram, K Paul, Axar Patel, R Tewatia, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Shah, Ishant Sharma

Chennai Playing XI: Ambati Rayudu, Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, D Chahar, S Thakur, H Singh, I Tahi
