GL till now have been defending any total that their batsmen have asked them to. But now with half the tournament over looks like they lack in middle over prowess and are highly dependent on Bravo and Praveen Kumar. One main chink in their armor is Jadeja who has failed to live up to his IPL standards so far, only good sign for them in the last match was Shivil Kaushik,who grabbed three victims in his kitty.

DD on the other hand have been lucky to have Zaheer Khan in their team who have taken over the bowling responsibilities along side the smart Chris Morris. Morris and Khan have been impeccable early on and also in the death overs. Knowing how GL fell to spin attack, DD are sure to include Imran Tahir into their playing who along side Amit Mishra make a deadly combination of any batting line-up to deal with.
