DC lost their last match against LSG by just 6 runs, a margin that we think flatters their performance a bit. A few bad decisions and decisions during the batting stint had more or less ended their hunt well before some free limits were reached. DC haven’t won back-to-back games in IPL 2022 so far and need to find a way to fix their inconsistency. In every single game they have won to date, Kuldeep Yadav has been the man of the match and hence his importance to this DC squad cannot be underestimated. As a bowling entity, DC has some excellent options but lacks enough depth. Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman and even Axar Patel have been excellent, but Chetan Sakariya, Lalit Yadav and Shardul Thakur just aren’t reliable enough. It was a surprise that Khaleel Ahmed was left out after a good start and may run again in the team. DC’s batting roster is looking a lot better now that Rovman Powell is on form. He, Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur form a very good bottom line that can contribute with a few runs on a regular basis. The top order is also on paper with Shaw, Warner and Marsh in the top three, followed by Pant and Lalit Yadav. The DC team is a bit lacking in spark, but seems to have the pieces to pull off a win in this match.
