Predicted XIs
Deccan Gladiators
The Gladiators, barring West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell, have the rest of the squad to pick from for their season opener against the Bulls.
Probable XI: Shane Watson (C), Mohammad Shahzad (WK), Anton Devcich, Dan Lawrence, Bhanuja Rajapaksa, Ben Cutting, Fawad Ahmed, Migael Pretorius, Mason Crane, Imtiaz Ahmed, Zahoor Khan.
Delhi Bulls
The Delhi Bulls squared off against the Northern Warriors in a warm-up match on 13th, in a game that saw Kusal Perera smashing a half-century to bring about a 21-run win for the Bulls. Eoin Morgan is certain to play the season opener, possibly in place of Angelo Mathews, while Adil Rashid could come in place of Dushmantha Chameera.

Match Prediction
The Deccan Gladiators have some serious firepower in terms of their batting unit, but the bowling unit appears a little thin on quality. Additionally, with the Delhi Bulls picking up a win from their practice match against the Northern Warriors, they will have some momentum coming into this match.
Delhi Bulls could be expected to win this match.
