New Delhi: Deccan Chargers won the toss and elected to bat against Delhi Daredevils in their IPL encounter at Ferozeshah Kotla in Delhi.
JP Duminy has been left out of the Chargers line-up and Cameron White, who arrived from Dhaka during their last game, is in.
Delhi make two changes, Morne Morkel and Yogesh Nagar, the spinner, are in for Matthew Wade and Umesh Yadav.
The Daredevils, who got a win on board on Sunday night after two comprehensive losses earlier, are still regarded by many as one of the weakest teams in IPL 4. They have been over-reliant on their openers – Virender Sehwag and David Warner. The middle though looks much more susceptible with the exception of Venugopal Rao who has been the most consistent Delhi batsman, along with Warner. All-rounder James Hopes provides much needed boost to lower middle-order but with Morne Morkel returning to side against the Chargers, the home side's batting will be weakened a little.
The Chargers, on the other hand, by comparison, look a much more balanced side on paper. A powerful top-order features the likes of skipper Kumar Sangakkara and Australian newcomer Daniel Christian. The surprise package for the side has been Bharat Chipli – the leading batsman for the side.
The pace attack is in the safe hands of Dale Steyn and Ishant Sharma while they have a couple of more-than-handy spinners in left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha and leg-spinner Amit Mishra. However, the Chargers have still lost three out of the four games so far.
