Preview & Prediction: Qualifier 2 (DC vs SRH)

Delhi's batting woes have continued throughout the tournament except for a few innings where Dhawan dominated. If they want to make it to their first Final, their batting would have to come together in this knockout game. SRH on the other hand has done impressively well with their limited resources while contributions coming from across the team. Warner is a big match player and his early wicket can put the match 51-49 in DC's favour. As of now, SRH start favorites.
