IPL 2019: MI vs DC - Predicted overseas players for Delhi Capitals in the opening game

#2 Trent Boult

Trent Boult

Trent Boult can prove to Delhi's trump card as he has an ability to run through the opposition top-order. As we have seen, batsmen find it really tough to face left-arm pacers early in the innings. The Kiwi pacer brings the new ball in sharply, which makes it almost impossible for the batsman to tackle him.

If the ball is swinging under floodlights it would be really difficult for the opposition top-order to save their wicket. Losing early wickets will put pressure on the middle order as they would have to play cautiously. In the slog overs, Boult's inswinging yorkers can give nightmare to any batsman in the world.

Last season, he picked 18 wickets in the IPL, but his economy rate was higher than expected. Delhi Capitals will need a good performance from their star pacer if they want to put a break on the star-studded batting line up of Mumbai Indians.
