Tristan Stubbs and David Miller will carry Delhi Capitals’ South African interest when they face Dewald Brevis’ Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.
Stubbs has been part of Delhi’s middle-order plans, while Miller gives them another experienced finishing option. Brevis adds the South African angle for Chennai, with his power suited to a fixture that could have a major say in the mid-table playoff race.
AFRICA PICKS: Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings – IPL preview
Delhi and Chennai are level on eight points after nine matches, leaving both teams under pressure to stay close to the playoff places.
Delhi ended a three-match losing run with victory in Jaipur, but consistency remains a concern. Chennai have improved after a slow start, winning three of their last five matches.
KL Rahul has led Delhi’s batting with 433 runs in nine innings, while Chennai have been lifted by Ruturaj Gaikwad’s return to form and Anshul Kamboj’s 17 wickets.
Stubbs, Miller and Brevis give the match a strong South African thread, with their late-overs roles likely to matter if the contest becomes tight.
