Delhi will have to sort out the middle order in a do-or-die match against Gujarat

Ahmedabad : Hurt by the dismal performance of Indian batsmen and middle order, Delhi Capitals will have to perform well in every department of the game when they take on Gujarat Titans here on Tuesday if they want to keep their hopes alive in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Barring Akshar Patel, none of the Indian batsmen playing for Delhi have been able to perform well so far. Delhi have now reached a do-or-die situation with six losses in eight matches due to the consistent failure of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan. Delhi will now have to win all their remaining six matches to ensure their place in the play-offs but it looks difficult considering the performance of their players. Prithvi’s failure saw Phil Salt open the innings with skipper David Warner. He showed aggressive attitude in the last match and the team will expect good performance from him as well as Warner and Mitchell Marsh, who comes to bat at number three. Marsh did a good job of his all-round game in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
