DC vs MIE Key Players

David Warner

David Warner, free from the longer formats, starts his journey as a T20 globe trotter. Leading the Capitals in Dubai, Warner could be at his fearsome best with little pressure on him now after recently retiring.

Trent Boult

Another globe trotter, Trent Boult, has been pretty silent with his performances in recent times. With a World Cup coming up though Boult will want to put his hands up with some good performance and show that he can still be a part of the national squad.
