#4 Chris Morris vs Shane Watson

Morris is Delhi’s most important foreign player

The lanky South African all-rounder will be making his return to competitive cricket from a nasty back injury. Without the likes of Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, and Angelo Mathews, Morris is Delhi’s go-to foreign player and will look to fire on all cylinders with both bat and ball. His biggest task will be to restrict Shane Watson’s run flow while bowling and scoring plenty of runs against the latter with the bat.

After a miserable start to this year's campaign, RCB's stand-in skipper will be eager to deliver a match-winning performance to boost the team's morale. Watson will look to make a couple of early inroads into the inexperienced Delhi batting line-up. His efforts in the field were abysmal a couple of days back and the Brisbane hunk will need to make amends.

His prowess with the bat is perhaps Bangalore's biggest plus point coming into today's game. A solid innings will do his confidence a world of good.

The two players are proven match winners. They can change the complexion of the game within a couple of overs with bat and ball. However, the one with the better composure will reign supreme in today’s mouthwatering contest.
