IPL 2020 | DC Will Replace Prithvi Shaw In Qualifier 2 | Not Rahane, This Player Will Get Opening

The Qualifier 2 is between Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad

Delhi Capitals, looking for the first title, suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Mumbai Indians in the first qualifier of this season of the IPL. However, he has one more chance as Qualifier 2 to reach the final. The Qualifier 2 is between Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. 

In such a situation, Delhi can change its opening pair. The bat of Delhi opener Prithvi Shaw was quiet this season. With every match, Shaw's batting is becoming tense for Delhi. In such a situation, it is believed that team management does not want to give them any more opportunity and they can be dropped from the team with a big match against Hyderabad.

Shaw scored 228 runs in 13 matches this season at a strike rate of 136.52. Prithvi Shaw's highest score is just 19 runs following last 8 innings. Due to Shaw's early dismissal in every match, there is a lot of pressure to score at the middle order. Because of this, team management can exclude them.

Final decision after the team meeting

However, Delhi does not have much replacement with Shaw. The use of the opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane has also proved to be a flop earlier. According to news from Inside Sports, there is a possibility that Shikhar Dhawan may pair up with Marcus Stoinis for the crucial contest. 

Talking about Dhawan, he has scored the most 525 runs for Delhi this season, in which he scored two consecutive centuries. While Stoinis scored 314 runs in 15 matches at an average of 26.16 and a strike rate of 150.23.
