Deccan Chargers

IPL 2009 so far: Played – 10, Won – 6, Lost -4

The Deccan Chargers regained winning form, picking up a crucial victory against the Rajasthan Royals in their last match. The inclusion of the experienced Chaminda Vaas couldn’t have come at the better time, as he will certainly test the batsmen from one end, while RP Singh continues to deliver from the other. Smith is turning out to be a handy contributor; however he is likely to make way for Gibbs.

Best Bet for Deccan Chargers:

Rohit Sharma – 9/10
Adam Gilchrist -8/10
Chaminda Vaas – 8/10
Andrew Symonds – 7/10
RP Singh – 7/10

Delhi Daredevils

IPL 2009 so far: Played – 9, Won – 7, Lost – 2

Delhi is in amazing form and looks unbeatable at the moment, and with the return of Captain Virender Sehwag from injury for this match – they will be even stronger. His return may mean that explosive batsman David Warner sits out, while it may just be time for them to let pro Glen McGrath take the center stage.

Best Bet for Delhi Daredevils:

Virender Sehwag – 9/10
Ashish Nehra- 8/10
Dinesh Karthik – 8/10
AB DeVillers- 8/10
Gautam Gambhir- 8/10
