Batting
Warner leads the powerful batting line-up
In-form David Warner is our choice to lead the fantasy XI side. The current Orange Cap holder will open the batting with Jonny Bairstow. Both the players have dominated the show for SRH. The aggressive Prithvi Shaw features in the top order. DC skipper Shreyas Iyer comes in next. He has the credentials to come strong. Veteran Yusuf Pathan adds more solidity.

Shankar and Morris are the two all-rounders
Vijay Shankar comes in as the prime all-rounder of this side. He has made a strong start in IPL 2019 and he will want to continue in the same vein. Chris Morris is a seasoned customer and he makes the cut.
Bowling
A look at the bowling unit
It's a packed bowling unit with top performers in the mix. Rashid Khan leads the spin department. He has been a top entity for SRH. Youngster Sandeep Lamichhane gives him the support. He will be crucial to apply the brakes. Siddarth Kaul forms the pace-bowling unit alongside Kagiso Rabada. DC's Rabada gets the nod as the vice-captain of this side.
Prediction
Predicted starting XI and possible winners
DC predicted starting XI: Shaw, Dhawan, Iyer (captain), Pant (wicket-keeper), Ingram, Vihari, Morris, Lamichhane, Mishra, Patel and Rabada. SRH predicted starting XI: Warner, Bairstow (wicket-keeper), Williamson (captain), Pandey, Shankar, Yusuf, Hooda, Rashid, Bhuvneshwar, Sandeep and Kaul. We feel SRH go in as the favorites. Their all-round depth makes them stronger. DC will need to avoid middle order blemishes to surprise SRH at the Kotla.
