Analysis:  

The Delhi team have a great squad with quality performers in all departments. Their opening batters David Warner and Prithvi Shaw have been their best asset with great knocks throughout the tournament. Similarly,  Kuldeep Yadav has been their best bowler as he found some magical rhythm with many Player of the match performances.

However, they have been hit by COVID-19 which has forced a change in venue from the MCA Stadium in Pune to the Brabourne Stadium and only a victory will help regain some positive atmosphere in the camp.
