Player of the Match

DC's Prithvi Shaw is the Player of the Match for his inning of 53 from 39 balls hitting 7 fours and 1 six.

David Warner, SRH Captain:It has been a tough one. The way our bowlers came back after the powerplay was fantastic. We knew on this surface if you got off to a flier it is always going to be tough in the middle, the bowlers executed well. I thought Vijay, who is not one of our strike bowlers, bowled fantastically, could have bowled him an extra one, that's the handiness of having him in the middle but the bowlers got us to a good total to chase. Obviously Jonny at the top of the order and Kane taking it deep, we couldn't bat well in the middle overs. It depends on the selectors, it was a harsh call as per my opinion to leave Manish Pandey out. But at the end of the day it is a decision that they took and you cannot discredit Virat, he's a very good player and the surface was difficult. They bowled well in the middle and made it challenging for us. If you hit the ball to a world-class fielder, you are going to get run out 9 times out of 10 (on his run out).

David Warner, SRH captain:It doesn't matter. Experienced heads in the middle, we were able to do that. We bowled well, that' pleasing. Bhuvi has pulled up a muscle which is currently a bit sore so he misses out. Suchith's coming in for him. That's what we feel is the best team to play against this team. Each wicket is pretty much the same. We have to assess here with the ball first and chase down whatever they set.

Rishabh Pant, DC captain:We are gonna bat first. I think the wicket looks drier. There'll be less dew today because of the weather. We are gonna judge ourselves as a fielding unit. One change. We have Axar Patel coming in for Lalit Yadav.

Toss

Delhi Capitals have won toss and opted to bat first.
