Strengths
Packed to the brim with batsmen, one can't imagine that the Daredevils are going to struggle scoring big totals. Their bowling attack isn't too shabby either, ensuring the Delhi unit are a well-balanced outfit.
Weaknesses
Pace bowling will be one area of concern. After spending a busy year out of the game, Glenn McGrath's ability to hit the right line and length with great consistency may not be what it once was, and if that is the case, Dirk Nannes, Yo Mahesh and Farveez Maharoof will fall under considerable pressure.
Likely hit
Daniel Vettori - Spin has become an integral part of the Twenty20 game, with the ability to take the pace off the ball. Vettori is one of the best in the business when it comes to the turning trade, and his success will be key to the Daredevils.
Likely Flop
Owais Shah - Coming off a tough tour of the Caribbean, the Englishman will be under pressure to perform, and with competition for spots in the batting order sure to be fierce, Shah may find the going a bit too much.
Prediction
They should, at least, make it through to the semi-finals.
