Having made to the playoffs last year, DC will not settle for anything less this year. Delhi Capitals is looking for a new font that could write ?S-U-C-C-E-S-S? on the walls. With Saurav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting on board the coach cabin last year, DC is sure to gather it?s guns to create some fireworks this year too.



The auctions resulted in the inclusion of strong players like : Jason Roy, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey, Shimron Hetmyer, Chris Woakes, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane. A decent move I say. But, Isn?t the whole world lamenting the exit of two exotic players from this team? Do they have enough to survive this? How capable is the bowling department? Let?s analyse.



<h2>Delhi Capitals (DC) DREAM11 IPL 2020 Squad &nbsp;&amp; Analysis :</h2>



Shreyas Iyer (captain), Prithvi Shaw,&nbsp;Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Jason Roy,&nbsp;Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Lamichhane,&nbsp;Kagiso Rabada, Keemo Paul, Mohit Sharma, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, R Ashwin, Marcus Stoinis, Chris Woakes, Rishabh Pant, Alex Carey, Shimron Hetmyer, Tushar Deshpande



IPL 2020 UAE : Dehli Capitals have been concentrating on building a core centre for their team over the past couple of years. Frequent team changes were attributed to their past failures. DC had terrific bowlers on paper in the past, but failed to live up to it on the field (resulting in letting Chris Morris and Trent Boult go). This time DC seems to have a ?problem of plenty? when it comes to options and intelligent team selection is the key.



Delhi Capitals IPL 2020 Squad Strengths :



<ul><li>A strong batting line up which can make 150 + runs : Dhawan, Iyer, Shaw, Roy, Stoinis, Pant, Hetmyer, Carey</li><li>An ?in form? all-rounder in Marcus Stoinis.</li><li>Amit Mishra : highest wicket taking spinner</li><li>Ravichandran Ashwin : a veteran in spin</li><li>Kagiso Rabada has the best best bowling average among the Pace bowlers of IPL</li><li>The very talented spinner from Nepal : Sandeep Lamichchane</li></ul>



Delhi Capitals IPL 2020 Squad Weaknesses :



<ul><li>The Indian medium pacers are shaky and past their prime</li><li>Death overs bowling is questionable</li><li>Rishabh Pant?s consistency</li><li>Chris Woakes and Jason Roy withdrawal has left a dent in the team strength</li><li>Moreover, no replacement of equally good players (all-rounders) made till date.</li><li>No quality back-ups in case of injured bowlers.</li><li>Without a big score on the board, it is difficult for DC to assure wins</li></ul>



Delhi Capitals DREAM11 IPL 2020 Prediction



This team appears to be well balanced and will give stiff competition to RCB and SRH for the 3rd and 4rth spot in the points raking table. Out of these 3 teams, the one who slips in quality will drop out of the top 4 going into the playoffs.



DC could win their first match against KXIP on 20 September 2020.



Key Players Analysis:



Shreyas Iyer - An outstanding batsman with awesome control over his shots. He will be in the limelight after V.Kohli, Rohit Sharma and K.L.Rahul among the Indian&nbsp;batsmen. As a captain he is cool and is gradually learning the art of captaincy.



Shikar Dhawan - He has already proved himself as the opening batsman for India, now he is back in form in IPL.



Prithvi Shaw - Enormously talented but he has not yet proved his consistency as a successful opening batsman. Now is the chance to do it, as he will be playing most of the matches.



Ajinkya Rahane ? He is being seen as a surprise selection as he is not comfortable in T20 matches. This is his opportunity to prove the critics wrong.



Hetymer - He has a key role to play in the middle order. He has been successful in that position against India in the past.



Rishab Pant - He is the batsman who can boost the score with his aggressive batting.



Alex Carey is a worthy replacement to Pant as a wicketkeeper batsman, but he may get only a few chances as Pant?s position is confirmed.



Marcus Stoinis - Another important player for DC who has once again proved his worth in the ongoing Australia vs England series.



Ravichandran Ashwin ? an asset on the hard wickets of UAE. He will be&nbsp; a good contributor as a spinner to Delhi Capital?s victories.



Lamichchane - Another spinner is gaining international reputation gradually.



Kegiso Rabada and Kemo Paul (overseas bowlers) and&nbsp; Ishanth Sharma, Mohit Sharma form the pace bowlers ? the performance of all of these 4 bowlers? performance will decide how many runs the opposition team will make. Just one doing extremely well will not suffice.



The most probable playing&nbsp; XI of DC will be :



<ul><li>1.Shikar Dhawan</li><li>2.Prithvi Shaw</li><li>3.Shreyas Iyer</li><li>4.Ajinkya Rahane</li><li>5.Markus Stoinis</li><li>6.Shimron Hetmyer</li><li>7.Rishab Pant</li><li>8.R.Ashwin</li><li>9.Kegiso Rabada</li><li>10.Kemo Paul</li><li>11.Ishanth Sharma or Mohit Sharma</li></ul>



The team for the initial 2 matches will be the same except for MARCUS STOINIS, who will be replaced by AXAR PATEL.

IPL 2020 DC Vs KXPI Live Score Delhi Capital Vs Kings XI Punjab League Match Today in UAE Latest Update

IPL2020: Match 51 MI vs DC - Preview, Prediction, Probable11 and Fantasy Tips. Dream11 IPl2020 Match no 51 MI vs DC - Match Preview, Prediction, Probable 11, Fantasy Tips, Who will win?



Mumbai Indians(MI) will take on Delhi Capitals(DC) in the first match of the Super Saturday doubleheader. The match will be hosted at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Saturday, 31st October 2020. The match will begin at usual day timing i.e., 15:30 IST (10:00 GMT), 14:00 LOCAL. This will be the second encounter of both the teams in this edition of IPL. Chennai winning the last ball thriller yesterday against Kolkata Knight Riders benefitted Mumbai Indians, Mumbai have qualified for Playoffs. Now onwards every match has its own significance and the results will impact the campaigns for Playoffs of the other 6 teams. Previously when DC and MI met, Mumbai registered a comfortable win over Capitals by 5 wickets.



<h2>Mumbai Indians(MI):</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/10/Mumbai-Indians-celebrating-1024x709.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20464" /><figcaption>Mumbai Indians Celebrating wicket (Image Source- BCCI/IPL)</figcaption></figure>



There is nothing to worry about for Mumbai Indians. Chennai?s last night win placed Q before Mumbai Indians? name. Mumbai Indians as a team have evolved a lot. Every single match produces different match winners. Mumbai as a team does not depend on a single player. As a unit, they are comfortable and unbeatable right now.&nbsp;



Mumbai Indians have got quality bench strength. Despite not playing with their regular skipper and opener other players of the team stepped up to play the role and they have done it beyond expectations. Ishan Kishan performing brilliantly in giving a good start to the side in absence of Rohit Sharma while Kieron Pollard Stand-in skipper made sure that the team doesn?t feel left out in absence of the regular skipper.



The last win over Royal Challenger Bangalore by 5 wickets must have boosted their confidence. There is nothing much to worry about for the team and management. It is pretty much clear they will finish in the top 2 in the Points table, thanks to the Net Run Rate and their performance.



<h2>Delhi Capitals(DC):</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/10/Delhi-Capitals-CelebratingDC-1024x709.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20465" /><figcaption>Delhi Capitals (DC) (Image Source- BCCI/IPL)</figcaption></figure>



Things are not looking good for the Capitals this time. Start of the Tournament, they were one of the fan favorites and looked pretty much balanced. Things have changed now. Dynamics aren?t similar for the Delhi capitals. The last three games were not good for DC. They have lost all of them, they desperately need to win to make sure they finish somewhere at top 4.&nbsp;



The skipper of Delhi Capitals has lost his touch in recent times, the same goes for Marcus Stoinis. Marcus Stoinis who played the role of match-winner in the first few games by performing brilliantly both with bat and ball isn?t doing well in the recent past. Shikhar Dhawan scored 2 brilliant back to back centuries but was dismissed for a duck in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kagiso Rabada who had a streak of picking at least one wicket in the last 20-25 games has broken his streak. He went wicketless in the last game and was smashed all over the park.



Delhi Capitals needs to make sure that they do not depend on any one player. As a team, they need to bounce back and will be eager to come hard against Mumbai. They will be eyeing to take revenge for their last defeat against Mumbai Indians earlier in the season.



<h2>Head to Head (MI vs DC):</h2>



Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals faced each other 25 times, Mumbai leads the faceoff by 13 victories in 25 matches, while Delhi has registered 12 wins.

ipl-2020-match-51-mi-vs-dc-preview-prediction-probable11-and-fantasy-tips

Mi vs DC: Mumbai thrashed Delhi after Boult and Bumrah?s damage by 9 wickets. Dream11 IPL 2020: Match no 51: Mumbai thrashed Delhi by 9 wickets to earn two crucial points.



Dream11 IPL 2020: Match no. 51 of League stages of IPL was played between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at Dubai International Stadium, Dubai. Mumbai defeated Shreyas Iyer led DC by 9 wickets and grabbed two more points. Bowlers superb show in first innings helped Mumbai chase a easy total against Delhi Capitals. A well directed half century from Ishan Kishan put the team up front and sailed comfortably.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Mumbai-IndiansMI-celebrating-wicket-1024x709.jpg" alt="Mumbai Indians Celebrating wicket(MI) against DC" class="wp-image-20559" /><figcaption>Mumbai Indians Celebrating wicket(MI) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



Earlier, Mumbai Indians won the toss and decided to field. Two changes from Mumbai side Hardik Pandya and James Pattinson where out and Coulter Nile and Jayant Yadav got a chance in playing 11. For Delhi, Axar Patel and Ajinkya Rahane were given rest and Prithivi Shaw and Praveen Dubey were added yo final 11.



A little bit of swing on offer for Trent Boult at the start of the innings, Trent Boult dismissed double centurion Shikhar Dhawan and Prithivi Shaw cheaply. Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant fought hard to do a comeback in the game, but Rahul Chahar removed Shreyash Iyer from the ground. They scored just 22 runs in the powerplays which is the second-lowest total of Powerplays in this season.



Trent Boult took charge of Powerplays while Jasprit Bumrah nailed in Middle overs. Jasprit Bumrah cleared Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis and Harshal Patel in succession in just two overs. At this stage DC was completely disappointed and more than half a dozen player were sent to dugout.&nbsp;



Delhi were able to score 111 - 9 in 20 overs. Three wickets each for Bumrah and Boult. While, Coulter- Nile and Rahul Chahar got one wicket each.



Delhi surely wanted some breakthroughs in Powerplays as the ball was not coming into bat nicely. But Mumbai Openers kept patience and rotated the strike as much as possible. Mumbai were able yo reach 38 runs in six overs without loosing a wicket. The first wicket stand for Mumbai Indians scored 68 runs in 10 overs. Quinten de Kock was dismissed by Anrich Nortje while Kishan stood up in another end.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Delhi-Capitals-CelebratingDC-1024x709.jpg" alt="Kagiso Rabada and Prithvi Shaw celebrating (Delhi Capitals)" class="wp-image-20557" /><figcaption>Kagiso Rabada(Delhi Capitals DC) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



Ishan Kishan scored blistering fifty off just 37 balls against the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje. He scored 72 runs off 42 balls which includes 8 boundaries and 3 towering sixes. Surya Kumar finished in 12 runs off 11 balls. Mumbai got a smooth win by 9 wickets.



<h2>Post Match Presentation:</h2>



<h3>Shreyas Iyer | DC (losing) captain:</h3>



 Obviously, we fell short of reading the wicket. We weren't upto the mark right from the start and those wickets in the Powerplay took down the momentum from us. It was important for a few us to come and build a few partnerships but it happened in bits and pieces. There are lots of flaws to be pointed out to, but we gotta believe in ourselves and be strong-headed, also be positive. You can't anticipate how it's (the pitch) going to play right from the start. Openers being there, it was important to get a good start, once you get the momentum, you can build on later. I feel 150 or 160 was a good total on such wickets. We'll have to think about it (changes to the line-up) and be fearless in our approach. We'll keep things simple and will not try to think much. It's going to be do or die for both teams (about the next game) depending on how RCB play tonight.



<h3>Trent Boult: </h3>



Little bit of swing early on and nice to take wickets at the top and put some pressure on, nice to get a couple of points. I'm probably trying to bowl a little too fast, it's a very dry wicket and it did move early on. I will go back home and assess (about my bowling) as I have a 14-day quarantine and have a Test match two days after that. It's nice to get the job done. Nice to be playing cricket, winning and looking forward to hopefully carrying on this good form.



<h3>Ishan Kishan | Man of the Match:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Ishan-Kishan-hitting-sixesMI-against-DC-1024x709.jpg" alt="Ishan Kishan(MI) hitting sixes against DC." class="wp-image-20558" /><figcaption>Ishan Kishan hitting sixes against DC | Image _ BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



 It was not as easy as it looked. The ball wasn't coming on so I had to keep rotating the strike and then take them apart later. It all depends on the practice sessions, and how you train I wanted to keep my shape and hit sixes. My mom must get the credit for the food she gives me, that makes me so powerful, and sometimes even I'm surprised how my sixes carry such a long way. My coaches told me that playing shots on the off-side is important, and that wasn't my strength initially, and I knew, even Rahul sir told me that I need to work on my off-side shots so I've been working on that this season and thankfully it's showing in the match situation now. I enjoy batting everywhere, wherever the management wants me to bat. At this level you have to be able to adapt.



<h3>Kieron Pollard | MI (winning) captain:</h3>



 It's 16 (wins for me as captain) off 17 (matches). I bowled Krunal and Jayant in the powerplay because I thought there was some hold in the surface and I thought the grip would aid the seamers. Bumrah, I kept delaying him, and in this kind of track it was more useful to bowl him in the middle. He kept looking at me, and wanted to bowl in the powerplay. We wanted to bowl spinners in the powerplay with some grip on offer. Ishan has gotten better in every game, and once he gets going, he's hard to get rid of. He didn't even start, Ishan, in the playing XI, came to No. 4 and then came out to open and just blew us away. Rohit is getting better and hopefully he'll be back soon. We need to play another couple of good games and get to the final. This isn't supposed to be our year (even number), but it's been working for us so far.

IPL 2020: DC vs RCB Match Preview, Probable11, Fantasy Tips. Dream11 IPL 2020, Match no 55: DC vs RCB Match Preview, Probable 11, Fantasy Tips, Who will win?



<h2>Match Preview(DC vs RCB):</h2>



Dream11 IPL2020: Match no 55 will be played between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challenger Bangalore(DC vs RCB) at Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The match will be played on Monday, 2nd November at the usual timings of evening games 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT), 18:00 LOCAL. This will be a do-or-die match for both the teams from their perspective. DC and RCB both the teams have suffered severe losses in the recent past to put them under- pressure.



Both the teams have a lot of issues to be addressed before the mouth-watering clash between the two sides. No one will leave no stone unturned, to win the clash. This is going to be pretty interesting to watch.



<h3>Delhi Capitals(DC):</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Delhi-Capitals-squad-DC.jpg" alt="Delhi Capitals(DC) walking to play the match." class="wp-image-20580" /><figcaption>Delhi Capitals (DC) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



Shreyas Iyer led Delhi Capitals(DC) who looked ruthless at the start of the tournament have lost their pace. DC has bossed most of the teams in the first half of the tournament but seems to be losing everything now. Nothing is going their way right now. Every department of Delhi Capitals needs improvement.



The opening which was an ideal one has been a major concern. Prithivi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane both have been partnered with Shikhar Dhawan but none of them satisfied the team?s need. Shikhar Dhawan previously scored back to back centuries, it seems he has lost his touch midway. His last three scores are 0,0,6.&nbsp;



Shreyas Iyer, DC skipper appears to be tactically wrong under- pressure. Also, his batting has been an issue. Rishabh Pant has failed to connect the ball with the bat. He seems out of form in this IPL. Rishabh Pant who provides Delhi Capitals a hammering finishes at death has failed to capitalize on many occasions in the near past.&nbsp;



The bowling unit of Delhi Capitals with the likes of world-class Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ravi Ashwin, Axar Patel, Marcus Stoinis looks out of form from mid of the tournament. Their bowlers who bowled with an extreme pace of 150+ kmph in the first half of IPL 2020, they are now getting hit every corner of the park. Kagiso Rabada is gone wicketless in the last two games. This is definitely not a good signal for DC.&nbsp;



<h3>Royal Challenger Bangalore(RCB):&nbsp;</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Royal-Challenger-BangloreRCB-squad.jpg" alt="Royal Challenger Bangalore(RCB) celebrating wicket." class="wp-image-20581" /><figcaption>Royal Challenger Bangalore(RCB) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



Virat Kohli led Royal Challenger Bangalore(RCB) on the other hand looks in a similar situation as their opponent. RCB provided a fantastic all-round show in the first half of the season. Lately, they all have lost their way. Aaron Finch was benched in order to give more firepower to the top order with the likes of Joshua Phillipe but that hasn?t been true.?



Joshua Phillipe has shown some intent up front but failed to capitalize on the start he has got. Also, RCB?s lineup depends a lot on Virat Kohli and AB de Villers. Both of these in the last two matches were short of runs. Also, the exclusion of Shivam Dube from playing 11 has affected the batting strength of RCB. Shivam Dube has the power and ability to strike at the end which is lacking in recent playing 11.



Royal Challenger Bangalore?s bowling unit seems one man dependence. Yuzi Chahal has been one of the consistent performers for the RCB bowling lineup. Their seamers haven?t done well in past few matches. In the first ten matches of RCB, their seamers were successful in striking 32 times whereas now the scenario is drastically changed for them. They have got just four wickets in the last three fixtures.

<div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Delhi-CapitalsDC-1-1024x709.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20694" /></figure></div>

For Delhi Anrich was the pick of the bowlers as he managed to dismiss three RCB batsman, while, Rabada got two and Ashwin got one on his account.



Once again Delhi?s openers weren?t able to make a stand for their side. The young Prithivi Shaw got dismissed in 2nd over of the innings. Ajinkya Rahane was sent at number 3 for DC. Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane took DC past 100 runs in 12 overs. Dhawan and Rahane were looking good and were expected to close the game 1-2 overs early.

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Royal-Challenger-BangloreRCB-cekebrating-after-a-wicket-1.jpg" alt="VIrat Kohli and RCB after wicket(DC vs RCB)" class="wp-image-20692" /><figcaption>VIrat Kohli and RCB after wicket | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>

Till this time all the calculation for the Playoffs race between the two sides were accomplished. It was clear that both the teams will reach the Playoffs. Delhi Capitals are at number 2 position in Points Table and will play Qualifier 1 against Mumbai Indians.



RCB will have to watch the last match of IPL to get their exact position in the top 4. If Sunrisers win against Mumbai tonight,&nbsp; then Sunrisers will get qualified for Playoffs and will be at 3rd Position, RCB will slip down to 4th slot due to Net Run Rate lower than SRH. But if Mumbai beats SRH, then KKR will get qualified for the 4th slot and RCB will remain at their position.



<h2>Post Match Presentation(DC vs RCB):</h2>



<h3>Virat Kohli | RCB skipper:</h3>



 It's a mixed bag. As I said at the toss, you come to games to try and get the result your way. Through the 11th over, the 17.3 mark was informed by the management. I think we controlled the middle phase really well and they could've taken the game away from us. We are happy that we've qualified. Top two would've been really very nice. But I think we've played good enough cricket to earn a qualification spot. You could say just before the qualification, the mindset was a little bit tentative. We've got two games to reach the final. We have a shot, an opportunity and that's all we want as a team. 



I'm sure the guys will be excited about what's ahead for us. We can be more more brave with the bat in pockets. With the ball, we were decent, probably we could have a strong Powerplay which is our strength. If we implement those things, we'll be at the right end of the result. It's important to stay positive. There are going to be learning along the way, but we are glad that we are through. We'll have to assess what's happening, hopefully they'll (Morris and Saini) be fine by the time we play our next game. And see how they go in the next few days.



<h3>Ajinkya Rahane:</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Ajinkya-Rahane-Delhi-Capitals-1.jpg" alt=" Ajinkya Rahane(DC)(DC vs RCB)" class="wp-image-20688" /><figcaption> Ajinkya Rahane(DC) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



 Ricky told me that I am going to bat at number three. It?s a good position to bat at. Our bowlers did really well for us. I enjoyed the partnership with Shikhar. The communication between us was all about intent. We weren?t thinking about any target. It was all about playing proper cricketing shots. I wanted to finish the game. We all know how funny the sport is. We?ve seen how things have happened in this IPL. Feels great to win in the end.



<h3>Shreyas Iyer | DC skipper: </h3>



Very chuffed with the performance. We knew it was a do-or-die and an opportunity for us to get to the second spot. We were really motivated. The teams winning in the latter half completely changed the scenario of the table and it was really commendable. Really happy with how the tournament has gone so far. The bowlers were really up with their plans and they knew what they had to execute. Nortje was really good and it worked out pretty well. Kudos to the way the bowlers bowled. We are one of the best teams in the tournament and we need to stick to the basics and if we try and execute our plans, the results will come.



<h3>Anrich Nortje | Player of the Match:</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Anrich-Nortje-Delhi-CApitals-1.jpg" alt="Anrich Nortje (DC)(DC vs RCB)" class="wp-image-20690" /><figcaption>Anrich Nortje (DC) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



 I said it time and time again, it's just doing the basics right and wasn't about something special from one guy. Coming into this game, small things started feeling better and I think those small things, once you get that right, you get your rhythm. We were thinking to make them hit to the bigger boundary and stick to our plans against each batsmen. There was little bit dew at the end of our innings and we tried not to be predictable. Yorker would have been the obvious option and we wanted to change it and see how it goes and wanted to hit the hard length. Having a bit of extra pace always helps. All ready for the playoffs (smiles).

IPL 2020: Qualifier 1 MI vs DC Match Preview, Probable XI, Fantasy Tips. Dream11 IPL 2020: Qualifier 1 MI vs DC Match Preview, Probable XI, Fantasy Tips, Who will win?



<h2>Match Preview(MI vs DC):</h2>



Dream11 IPL 2020 finally has entered into the business end now. After a lot of thrilling and exciting contests in the league stages. What could be more interesting than six teams fighting for a spot in playoffs till the end of the tournament? While Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challenger Bangalore making it to the final four of the Playoffs.



Qualifier 1 of Dream11 IPL2020 will be played between defending champions Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, Delhi who is clearly eyeing to open their account in the list of IPL Winners. The match will be played on Thursday, 5th November at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. Action will begin in the usual timings of evening games i.e., 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT), 18:00 LOCAL.



<h2>Delhi Capitals(DC):</h2>



Shreyas Iyer led Delhi Capitals has shown their calibre in the first half of the tournament. The later phase did not go as planned, loosing back to back games in a trot. Delhi in his last five games just managed to get a single win. That win came against Royal Challenger Bangalore which put them in 2nd spot of the points table.&nbsp;



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Delhi-Capitals-DC-1-1.jpg" alt="Delhi Capitals(DC)" class="wp-image-20806" /><figcaption>Delhi Capitals(DC) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



The yet to become champions would definitely come up with a master plan against mighty Mumbai in order to get a direct ticket to the final of the IPL on 10th November. Prithivi Shaw is definitely not in the best flow at the moment, just been able to score 228 in 12 games.&nbsp;



Few changes in the last game proved out positive for them. Ajinkya Rahane coming in at number 3 giving them necessary momentum after a poor start. Axer Patel and Daniel Sams have provided enough depth in bowling as well as in batting. Though Danial Samas was expensive last night but the combination gets almost perfect with the inclusion of the Australian.



Anrich Nortje hitting the balls at right length is a good sign for Delhi Capitals. Rabada?s form will be crucial for them. Shreyas Iyer will also look to score big for his side in order to defeat robust Mumbai.



<h2>Mumbai Indians(MI):</h2>



The four-time champions are on song this IPL. They have a smooth IPL journey this edition. Mumbai Indians performance has been consistent this season. Producing a different match-winner in every other game is their strength.&nbsp;



The last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad did not go their way, probably the worst defeat this season for them. Given that they benched their key matchwinners, Bumrah, Boult and Pandya were given rest to overcome workload. This also broke their momentum to a certain extent. But Mumbai will be full of confidence in the game against DC to get one step closer to their 5th IPL Trophy.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Mumbai-Indians-vs-Delhi-CapitalsMI-VS-DC-1-1.jpg" alt="Mumbai and Delhi(MI vs DC)" class="wp-image-20804" /><figcaption>Mumbai and Delhi(MI vs DC) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



A good sign for Mumbai is that their skipper is back to lead the team. Rohit got injured with a hamstring injury in the match against Kings XI Punjab which went for double super over. The Mumbai skipper has recovered well and is completely fine now. Also, Kieron Pollard is constantly smashing balls out of the park and produced match-winning knock for MI.

IPL 2020: Qualifier 2, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals Preview, Probable 11, Fantasy Tips. Dream11 IPL 2020: Who will meet Mumbai Indians in the Final? IPL 2020: Qualifier 2, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals Preview, Probable 11, Fantasy Tips.



<h2>Match Highlights(SRH vs DC):</h2>



Dream11 IPL 2020: Qualifier 2 will be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals today. The match will be played at Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Sunday, 8th November. The play will start at the usual timings of evening games i.e., 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT), 18:00 LOCAL. The team to win qualifier 2 will get the ticket to the finals where they will play against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday, 10th November.



<h3>Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH):</h3>



Sunrisers Hyderabad is clearly on a high this time, having won the last four matches on a trot. SRH from a sluggish start where they won just 3 matches out of 7 they played has done a rapid bounce back. David Warner led SRH had already defeated all the top 3 teams on IPL 2020 and will be looking to win this match too.&nbsp;



Hyderabad?s strong point is their bowling lineup which is not flooded with big names. Their bowlers have performed above expectations this season. Also, Batting is not an issue anymore for SRH. David Warner and Co. are in good form. Kane Williamson?s last match fifty is a good sign for SRH to have dependable and experienced batsmen in the middle order.&nbsp;



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Sunrisers-Hyderabad-IPL2020-SRH-VS-DC.jpg" alt="Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH). " class="wp-image-20963" /><figcaption>Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



<h3>Delhi Capitals(DC):</h3>



Capitals will face a huge challenge from Sunrisers Hyderabad in qualifier 2. Delhi Capitals are definitely not at their best this time. All the departments of Shreyas Iyer led side is struggling to connect the ball. Openers have failed to make an impact, Bowlers struggled to place the ball at the right spot.&nbsp;



The last game against Mumbai Indians is a disaster for Delhi. Delhi from being one of the favourites to win the tournament to losing five out of their last six games. However, the combination of young players and experienced has shown some spark in the first half of the tournament and will look to bounce back harder this time.



Marcus Stoinis and Axar Patel showed some intent for Delhi Capitals last night and will be key players for DC to watch out. There will be a lot of expectations with the openers to provide a decent opening stand. Also, skipper Shreyas Iyer has to show some good innings. Last night Shreyas looked in good touch and was hitting the ball accurately but got out early.&nbsp;

Team India registered a thumping win over England in the first T20I in England by 7 wickets. Now, both teams will come up against each other in the second game, which is scheduled to be held at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on Saturday evening at 7 PM IST.
India will feel confident heading into the second game and will be looking to take a 2-0 lead. But just ahead of the second game, India suffered a couple of injury scares. Star opener Abhishek Sharma, who slammed a 20-ball fifty in the first game, suffered a blow during the practice session.
But apart from Abhishek, Indian star all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has sustained an ankle injury during the practice. As a result, the star all-rounder has raised doubts over his inclusion for the remainder of the series. As a result, the Indian management has added Shivam Dube to the squad.
<h2>Shivam Dube is all set to join the Indian squad for the England T20Is - Report</h2>
Shivam Dube was part of the recent match against Jammu and Kashmir in the Ranji Trophy., which they lost. He has now been added to the team for the coming matches against England. He is likely to join the team ahead of the third game in Rajkot on Tuesday.
As per a report by Indian Express, Dube is likely to replace Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has picked up a fresh injury. Reddy was part of the playing XI for the first game. Though his contribution wasn't recorded as he didn't bowl or bat in the game. Unlucky for him, he might not feature in the remaining games.
However, it will open doors for Shivam Dube, who is coming off a horrible game against J&amp;K. Dube was dismissed for a duck in both innings as Mumbai lost the game by six wickets. Dube wasn't the first-choice player for the ongoing England T20Is, but now he might have a chance to grab this opportunity.
Dube was part of India's squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. He scored 133 in the tournament. However, his cameo of 27 runs in the final was one reason that India had a competitive target which proved to be a winning one for them.

Indian Seamer Umran Malik has been away from Indian Cricket since a really long time and this is the same Umran Malik who was the centre of attention in the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In that season, he bowled a 157 kmph delivery to Rovman Powell and that delivery is the fastest ever bowled by an Indian in the cash rich T20 league till date and the J&amp;K speedster still holds that record. 
<h2>Umran's career is currently out of track</h2>
Following his sensational performance with the ball in the IPL, the 25-year-old got a chanceto play for the Indian National Cricket Team, but as time has passed, he has lost his shine. Forget about Team India, the young speedster is not even able to feature in Domestic Cricket right now. 
Umran played an IPL match versus the Mumbai Indians (MI) on 27th of March, 2024 for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), but since featuring in that encounter, he hasn't gotten the opportunity to play in any other game. 
He has been struggling with injury issues in recent times, which has impacted his Cricket career a lot. First he got dengue, after that he suffered a toe injury, as well as a hamstring injury, due to which he was forced to miss the entire Duleep Trophy 2024.
A few days after recovering from these above mentioned injuries, he suffered yet another setback as he suffered a stress fracture in the left portion of his hip while bowling. As a result, he was forced to miss some matches of Ranji Trophy and due to his injury issues, his road to return to International Cricket has become very difficult and long.
The young seamer from Jammu &amp; Kashmir came into the limelight for the first time in IPL 2021, where he got a chance to feature in three matches for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Then, in the following season, he took part in his first full season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he featured in all 14 contests, managing to dismiss 22 batters as well. 
During that season, his best figures with the ball were 5-25 which helped him enter the Indian Cricket Team set up. However, he lost all of his rhythm in the next two seasons of the cash-rich T20 league. In IPL 2023, he dismissed just five batters in eight matches while in the previous season of the tournament, he got the chance to play in just a single game and he went wicketless in that match. 
The Jammu &amp; Kashmir seamer became famous because of his ability to bowl at speeds of 150+ but in the last two IPL seasons, his speed wasn't discussed much. He knows how to bowl fast, but he lacks the ability to swing the ball. 
In such a situation, he had to bowl mostly in the overs after the end of the Powerplay, where he was thrashed a lot by the opposition batters. His line &amp; length were also not correct and the batters were able to go after him easily. In IPL 2023, the 25-year-old conceded runs at an economy rate of 10.85 and those numbers became even more worse in the following season, as he had an economy rate of 15 to his name.
<h2>Umran's International Career has been like this</h2>
The 25-year-old Umran Malik, who hails from Gujjar Nagar in Jammu, has participated in 10 One-Day International matches and eight T20 International games for Team India. He has dismissed 13 players in ODIs and 11 batters in T20 Internationals. 
He played his last match for the Men in Blue versus the West Indies in July of 2023. Talking about his IPL career, he has 29 scalps to his name in 26 matches. The 25-year-old is likely to be fit for the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he will be playing for defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The Kolkata based team secured his services in the Mega-Auction for a price tag of 75 lakh Indian Rupees.

Umran Malik has not been at his best since the last 2 years and his constant injury issues has seen him get completely out of favour from Team India

Umran Malik's inability to swing the ball and his constant injury issues have led to his downfall in Cricket. He's not even getting the opportunity to play Domestic Cricket

What Happened to Umran Malik? He has been out of Team India for a long time, finds himself out of the Ranji Team as well

India has faced a massive injury scare ahead of the second IND vs ENG T20I. As per the reports in Indian Express, it is learned that opening batter Abhishek Sharma hurt himself during the training session and there isn't any clarification if he will be fit for the next match of the series or not. 
Abhishek Sharma twisted his ankle during the training session and he looked in immense pain. The reports claimed that the batter is doubtful for the second match and if he gets ruled out, it will be a massive blow for the team as they will be without their key batter for the second IND vs ENG T20I. 
If Abhishek Sharma gets ruled out, then it creates a lot of headaches for the team as to who will open the innings because they have no other opener available on the bench. Hence, it might make team management to make someone from the middle bat at the top along with Sanju Samson. 
<h2>Let's take a look at two options India can try as an opener if Abhishek Sharma gets ruled out of the second IND vs ENG T20I </h2>
Suryakumar Yadav 
Captain Suryakumar Yadav might promote himself at the top of the order and open with Sanju Samson in the second IND vs ENG T20I. The right-hander has opened innings a few times in his career earlier as well, and it will allow him to play his unorthodox shots freely as well because of the field restrictions for the first six over of the innings. 
Suryakumar Yadav also has been going through a lean patch of form in the T20Is. Opening the innings will also help him to settle and get back into form. This could turn out to be a game-changing move for the team and might help them to win the match as well and take a lead of 2-0. 
Washington Sundar 
If Abhishek Sharma gets ruled out of second IND vs ENG T20I, then there are chances that the team might bring in Washington Sundar in the XI. Not only might they bring him into the XI, but they also might make him open. Gautam Gambhir rates the all-rounder very highly and he will be handy on the Chennai pitch as well. 
He has opened the innings for India in ODIs as well and also bats in the top order for his Ranji Team, which might work in his favour. Adding Sundar to the team will also provide the team with the off-spin option  
India currently leads the five-match T20I series against England after they won the first game by 7 wickets. The second game will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday (25th January).

After the enthralling first game, the second IND vs ENG T20I is all set to take place on Saturday (25th January). The match will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, and with the way things panned out in the opening match, the game promises to be an enthralling match. 
One of the talking points of the last match was Mohammed Shami. The fast bowler, who was added to the team to make a comeback after a long injury, missed the first game. There was no official confirmation why he didn't play but several reports claimed that he wasn't 100% fit. 
Mohammed Shami still has heavy strapping on his knee but is bowling at full throttle in the nets. Even though he has knees tied, he doesn't need any physio attention. The reports claimed that the pacer faved discomfort while climbing the stairs and hence wasn't rushed for the first game. 
This now raises speculation if Mohammed Shami will be fit for the second IND vs ENG T20I or not. There were reports in RevSportz recently which claimed that the fast bowler would be missing two more games in the series before making a comeback for the team after more than a year. 
If the reports are to be believed, then Mohammed Shami will be missing the second T20I against England in Chennai. The fast bowler is expected to make a return in the fourth game and also has been named in the team for the three-match ODI series against England ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>India won the first T20I by 7 wickets </h2>
Coming to the first game, India started the five-match T20I series against England on a dominating note. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side defeated the opposition by seven wickets at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. 
Asked to bat, England had a poor start with the bat as they lost both the openers, thanks to the brilliance of Arshdeep Singh. Captain Jos Buttler (68) kept his team in the hunt and was the lone warrior for his team 
India kept taking wickets at regular intervals, with Varun Chakravarthy being the the pick of the bowlers with his figure of three for 23. His sensational spell helped India bundle out England for 132. 
Chasing the target, Sanju Samson (26) and Abhishek Sharma (79) took India off to a flying start, adding 41 runs for the opening partnership. While Samson and Suryakumar Yadav fell early, Sharma slammed a blistering half-century and took his team to the seven-wicket win.
