Biggest Strengths of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020
The biggest strength of Delhi Capitals is the amount of quality young lads they have in their side including Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw and even their skipper Shreyas Iyer. So these young guns are tailor made for this 20 over format as they can play their risk free cricket with the power and style at the same time.
Another big strength of Delhi Capitals is their quality spin bowling attack and after Chennai Super Kings this DC spin attack is the 2nd most deadliest one of the league. The likes of Ashwin, Axar Patel and Amit Mishra can make life very tough for the rival team batters on the much expected spinner friendly conditions of UAE.
Biggest Weaknesses of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020
The biggest weakness for the Delhi Capitals is their middle order and this can create some huge issues for them in the majority of the tournament. The team includes some amazing bowling all rounders but when it comes to the batting all rounders Marcus Stonis is the only reliable name there. This puts a lot of pressure on the openers of Delhi Capitals to not lose early wickets and also Shreyas Iyer to do the majority of heavy lifting when it comes to the middle order batting.
Winning Chances of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020
Now speaking about the overall chances of Delhi Capitals well it seems they might end up on the bottom four yet again as our prediction says they only have 15% chances of winning this season of IPL 2020. Still if Delhi needs to turn the tide in their favor then their openers needs to step up big time and yeah Rishabh Pant needs to play some match winning innings.
