19:45 Daredevils’ captain Zaheer invites Raina’s Lions to bat:
Welcome to the updates of the Indian Premier League match number 50 between Delhi Daredevils and Gujarat Lions in Kanpur.
Delhi captain Zaheer Khan has won the toss and elected to field first.
Gujarat Lions and Delhi Daredevils will look to salvage pride.
With eight points from 11 games, Delhi had held on a faint hope of qualifying for the play-off but once Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Mumbai Indians to move into 15 points, it was all over for Zaheer Khan’s men.
Gujarat too have been hurt by their lack of depth in bowling and they are now at the sixth spot with four wins and eight losses. For the two teams now, it would be a battle for not finishing last in the tournament.
The last time both this teams faced each other, it was the Daredevils who had the last laugh when they beat Gujarat by seven wickets at home.
It will be interesting to see who has the last laugh tonight.
Playing XI:
Delhi Daredevils: S Samson, K Nair, S Iyer, R Pant, C Anderson, M Samuels, C Brathwaite, P Cummins, A Mishra, M Shami, Z Khan
GL XI: DR Smith, I Kishan, S Raina, D Karthik, A Finch, R Jadeja, D Kulkarni, J Faulkner, P Sangwan, B Thampi, A Soni
