New Delhi: Somehow both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Daredevils are still in the tournament, with outside chances of making it to the play-offs of Indian Premier League 2015. And today, one of these two teams will know for sure, what their chances are.
Hyderabad are sitting at sixth position with five wins from ten games, while Delhi are one place below, at seventh with four wins from 11 games. Let's look at five players who are like to make a difference in their respective team's fortunes:
David Warner: He is the second batsman to score 400+ runs in this edition after Ajinkya Rahane. The opening batsman from Australia has been leading his side from the front. Another decent knock from the left-hander will give Sunrisers Hyderabad a solid foundation and make play-off hopes alive.
Eoin Morgan: One area of concern for Sunrisers Hyderabad was their middle-order. But in the last couple of outings, they have seemed to solve that problem. And it coincided with Eoin Morgan's new found ability to play deep into the innings. If the England batsman carry that form, that Hyderabad good chances today.
Yuvraj Singh: Love him or loath him, Yuvraj Singh is still the superstar of the team. And Delhi Daredevils will need their most expensive buy to hit some form with either bat or ball as the tournament enters its final stretch. No point doubting his talent.
Zaheer Khan: Zaheer Khan, since his return from injury lay-off, has been a revelation. Despite at the wrong side of age, the left-arm seamer has played with intensity. In the four matches he played so far, the experienced pro has taken wickets when the team asked from him. Another good outing today will give his team immense lift.
Imran Tahir: The South African spinner is one of the leading wicket-takers in the tournament. He lost some ground after an impressive start to the season, which is mainly due to limited outings, and now he is among the wickets to stake his claim as a top bowler.
