Pre-match review:

Chargers provide Daredevils the opportunity to be on top of the table by sidelining the team against which they lost in the earlier match. Chargers could have achieved this possible task easily. But this time, they have Duminy and Dhawan in the top form.

There's very little to discuss about Daredevils. Everybody knows that they are hard to beat, considering the alarming batting line up and the impressive mix of the bowlers they have. The only thing which everyone is talking about is what would happen if Delhi bats first, which they haven't done in this season so far, and defend the score in the second half by trusting their bowling squad. This is Kotla and nobody wants to bat second on this pitch. It will be interesting to see Viru's decision if he wins the toss.

Chargers need their bowling and fielding departments to get aligned. They've been through enough hell so not to get panicked by finding themselves in the uncomfortable position. So in effect, they are better-prepared as long as mental strength is considered. I'll still go with Daredevils though as they have more match-winners than their adversery.
