The Delhi Daredevils have a chance to regain their top spot when take on the weakest side in the tournament, Kolkata Knight Riders, in Johannesburg. The bad news for them is that Virender Sehwag is still sidelined by his finger injury, but he could be back for Delhi's next game.
Gautam Gambhir, the stand-in captain, said the dryness of the pitch prompted him to choose to bowl on winning the toss in a match that will be played on the track called the '438 pitch'. After two convincing victories in a row, Delhi have decided to not tinker with their combination.
Brendon McCullum, the Kolkata captain, said the side was 'desperate' to turn in a good performance after the abysmal show so far this season. They have had five days off, but return to face the most impressive side of the tournament. They have made only one change, dropping the ineffective Ashok Dinda, and giving medium-pacer Sourav Sarkar a game. That means Mashrafe Mortaza still doesn't make his debut, and there's no place for either Ajantha Mendis or David Hussey.
