TEAMS PREVIEW

Delhi Preview

There is some real quality in this Delhi squad with Ishant Sharma likely to be the most accurate bowler on both sides due to his decades of experience at the top level. Simarjeet Singh is a right-arm fast medium bowler who has experience with Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, including returning figures of 3/26 against Rajasthan Royals last season, but has also been performing very well at first class level in this month.

With the bat, skipper Ayush Badoni is likely to go into battle at the top of the order and we expect him to be ed by Yash Dhull to face the new ball bowling attack.

The team has a wide range of attacking players and we expect Delhi to look to play in an aggressive manner.

Delhi Predicted Playing XI:

Ayush Badoni (c), Yash Dhull, Vansh Bedi, Anuj Rawat (wk), Sarthak Ranjan, Suyash Sharma, Simarjeet Singh, Ishant Sharma, Himmat Singh, Mayank Gusain, Harsh Tyagi

Delhi Actual Playing XI:

Priyansh Arya, Mayank Gusain, Mayank Rawat, Simarjeet Singh, Suyash Sharma, Prince Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Himmat Singh, Yash Dhull, Ayush Badoni, Anuj Rawat

Uttar Pradesh Preview

Uttar Pradesh can match Delhi for star power in their team and in Rinku Singh they have arguably one of the IPL's and India's most consistent players with the bat over the last two seasons. They also have Piyush Chawla in their ranks, a player who has enjoyed a renaissance over the last couple of seasons and continues to bowl accurate spin with plenty of variations.

Sameer Rizvi is a talented batter who we expect to be in the top three of the order and Aryan Juyal will bat at number four in his usual aggressive manner.

With the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will get plenty of movement with the new ball and is one of the most accurate bowlers in T20 cricket. Mohsin Khan will also cause issues for Delhi's batters.

Uttar Pradesh Predicted Playing XI:

Rinku Singh, Madhav Kaushik, Sameer Rizvi, Aryan Juyal (wk), Nitish Rana, Swastik Chikara, Piyush Chawla, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (c), Mohsin Khan, Aaqib Khan, Karthikeya Jaiswal

Uttar Pradesh Actual Playing XI:

Madhav Kaushik, Swastik Chikara, Aryan Juyal, Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, Rinku Singh, Piyush Chawla, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shivam Mavi, Vineet Panwar, Shivam Sharma

Average Turn

The Wankhede Stadium has long been one of the quickest bowling tracks in India. Although it will not offer a huge amount of assistance for the spinners, it will provide bounce which the likes of Piyush Chawla will be able to exploit. The team who bats first will be looking to post around 180.

Toss: To Bowl

The conditions are likely to be similar across the whole match but there could be higher humidity levels across the second innings of the game. Therefore, we predict that both teams will want to bowl first on Saturday.

Winning Prediction

It is undeniable that Delhi have some very talented players in their side but the truth is that in Rinku Singh, Piyush Chawla and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Uttar Pradesh have the three best players across both teams. As a result, we expect them to come out on top in this fixture.

We are backing Uttar Pradesh to win!
