Delhi Daredevils take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday. Both the teams have been under-performer in the tournament – Hyderabad lost their both games so far while Delhi won only one out of the three games.
Kevin Pietersen is expected to be fit for the game. The former England skipper is hopeful of leading the Delhi outfit when they take on Hyderabad and it is going to give a big boost to their batting as well.
Hyderabad too has been struggling on batting side. While in their opening game, the Shikhar Dhawan-led side failed to put up enough score on board against Rajasthan, in their second match they simply capitulated against Kings XI Punjab.
Their bowlers had done well against Rajasthan when they took the game down to the wires but they could not stop the Maxwell on Tuesday. Also their fielding was not up to the mark against Punjab.
Pace duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Dale Steyn has been pretty consistent so far.
For Delhi, Mohammad Shami has been leading their pace attack, while Jaydev Unadkat too has done well to take four wickets in the two games he played so far.
