Injuries to key players such as Steve Smith, Kevin Pietersen and Faf Du Plessis have completely disturbed the team composition of Supergiants and the debutants are now starring down the barrel with only two wins from eight games so far. It will be an uphill task for Supergiants to make it to the qualifiers with only six more matches to play for. Daredevils, who started slowly in the tournament is gradually turning out to be a formidable outfit. All credit should go to their mentor Rahul Dravid. After years of struggles, Daredevils' turnaround this season is a perfect example of how a side should be shepherded. They are comfortably placed at number two in the points table. The players are sticking to the basics whether it is batting or bowling. The seniors are taking more responsibilities and the youngsters are being given enough opportunities to excel at a stage where performances are taken note of. The biggest plus in the last two games for the Daredevils has been the performance of their skipper Zaheer Khan. When he opened the bowling, he has managed to get early breakthroughs and has been impressive in the death overs, too. Zaheer has found his rhythm and it is difficult to score off him. Amit Mishra has also played a crucial role in Daredevils' consistent show this season. Adding to that, their batsmen are in top form. Quinton De Kock has been scoring runs consistently and the way young Rishabh Pant batted while opening against Lions last night, Daredevils have plenty of options at the top. The return of JP Duminy has only bolstered the middle-order. The horses for courses approach have done wonders for the side and it will be not be a surprise if fans again see changes in the playing XI tomorrow. Carols Brathwaite had returned against Kolkata Knight Riders and made an impact straightaway. He scored 34 off 11 and then took three wickets to be the Man of the Match. But the West Indian was not played in the game against Gujarat Lions last night. Since the nature of the Feroz Shah Kotla track has changed it is possible that Brathwaite comes back. As it stands, it will be a tough ask for MS Dhoni to pull off a surprise win over the Daredevils at their own backyard.
