Hosts Delhi Daredevils (DD) take on new franchise and visitors Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS), in Match 33 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016, at the Ferozshah Kotla Stadium in Delhi on Thursday, as the live cricket streaming of the match is available online on starsports.com and Hotstar, while the live broadcast of the match is available on Sony SIX HD, Sony ESPN and Sony ESPN HD, along with Tamil, Telugu and Bengali commentary on Sony SIX, while the Hindi commentary is available on SET MAX. RPS, who have been in poor form of late, would aim for a win here in order to make their way for play offs.

RPS have however managed to rope in George Bailey and Usman Khawaja in their squad, which gives them some relief. Khawaja and Bailey could get a chance to make their debuts for their new team in this match. If they do, DD will have their task cut out. Khawaja has been in tremendous form with the bat in the shortest format and will be entrusted to fill in for du Plessis at the top. Bailey on the other hand is a reliable middle-order bstaman, who has already had a taste of IPL during his stint with Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), a team he briefly led. He should find it relatively easier to settle down. Full Cricket Updates: Delhi Daredevils vs Rising Pune Supergiants, IPL 2016, Match 33 at Delhi
DD were boosted by the fact that Rishabh Pant did extremely well opening the innings, after Shreyas Iyer failed to make any sort of impact in that position. They do not need to make any changes to their side, but they have the option of getting in Carlos Brathwaite in place of JP Duminy, if needed. DD have a settled unit otherwise and have been led well by Zaheer Khan so far.
