DD vs Titans: Players who can make the difference

sehwagIn the last league match of the ongoing Champions League Twenty20, Delhi Daredevils will take on Titans. These two teams are leading the points table at the moment but things can change for them if Auckland Aces defeats Perth Scorchers in the first match of the day.

Auckland are on six points and if they win they will go on 10 points, Titans who are on eight points will then have to beat Delhi Daredevils to qualify. Things will get difficult for Delhi if Auckland win by a big margin because if will take the Kiwi team above Delhi in terms of net run-rate and then Delhi will be in a must-win position. So things can get really interesting in this match.

Let’s have a look at some of the players who can make the difference in today’s match:

Delhi Daredevils:

Virender Sehwag: Sehwag has been going through a rough patch but made a match winning fifty in the last match against the Scorchers. Sehwag in that innings took the responsibility and played against his nature. He is a dangerous player and there is no doubt in that.

Ross Taylor: The New Zealand skipper hasn’t done much in the tournament and will be eager to justify the faith that the captain has shown in him. Only four foreign players can play at once and that puts extra pressure on Taylor. He can be deadly if he explodes.

Morne Morkel: He has been great for Delhi in the recent past. He hardly goes for any runs and has a habit of picking important wickets. Morkel can run through a side if he gets his line and length going.

Ajit Agarkar: He was the hero for Delhi Daredevils in the last match both with the ball and with the bat. He was the most economical bowler of the match and picked up two of the most important wickets. With the bat, he made a crucial contribution and took Delhi past the finish line.


Titans:

Jacques Rudolph: He is the leading run-scorer in the tournament and has played some vital innings for the titans. Rudolph is an experienced batsman and plays according to the situations, his resilience agains Delhi pacers will be crucial for Titans.

Henry Davids: He has been very successful for Titans on the top of the order. Davids has often provided his team quick starts and his captain will be hoping for one such innings in this match. Davids strike-rate in this tournament has been most impressive.

Alfonso Thomas: He was very expensive against the Knight Riders’ but by no means is he a bad bowler. He is very experienced in this format and had an off day. Thomas is an intelligent customer and can change the course of the game with his bowling.  

Roelof van der Merwe: He was at his best with the ball against KKR and came up with a fabulous spell of bowling. Roelof plays for Delhi Daredevils in IPL and his experience will help Titans a lot.
