Head to Head (Overall)
Head to head (UAE)
It’s a do or die situation for KXIP. They need to win all their matches to keep themselves alive in the competition. With the team getting two points in the last match, they are not expected to make many changes to the lineup. Maybe an out of form Glenn Maxwell may make way for Jimmy Neesham.
As for DC, there are some concerns regarding their captain Shreyas Iyer. He was not 100% fit in the last two matches. Rishab Pant who was out injured is expected to make his return. In that case, he will replace Ajinkya Rahane. Shimron Hetmyer is also expected to replace Alex Carey.
DC Playing 11: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Anrich Nortje, Tushar Deshpande, Kagiso Rabada
KXIP Playing 11: KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Sarfraz Khan, Mandeep Singh, James Neesham, Murugan Ashwin, Chris Jordan, Mohammed Shami, Akshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi
