Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Team Preview

Delhi Capitals

The Delhi Capitals dropped their first five matches in the competition but have since recovered to enter Match 40 on a two-game winning run. David Warner’s side overcame Kolkata Knight Riders in their sixth encounter and crushed Sunrisers Hyderabad in their most recent match. Given that there is no room for error, the Delhi Capitals must-win games in a row from now on if they are to compete for a playoff position.

Following Philip Salt’s golden duck in the previous game against the Delhi Capitals, David Warner may be inclined to include Prithvi Shaw as his opening partner. Furthermore, given the importance of Match 40 for the respective franchise, players like Sarfaraz Khan and Aman Khan may be benched.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad has dropped significantly in the competition and even on the points table. After winning two of their first four games, Sunrisers Hyderabad has appeared exhausted, out of shape, and under great pressure. They are at present on a three-game losing streak. As a result, Match 40 becomes a key match for them to earn two valuable points for their record.

Washington Sundar’s potential injury has knocked him out of the competition, despite having a beneficial influence in Match 34 against the Delhi Capitals. On the other side, Fazalhaq Farooqi or Adil Rashid may substitute for Marco Jansen, and Kartik Tyagi could be an intriguing replacement for Aiden Markram in Match 40.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi

Both captains will aim to bowl first because teams batting second have won more games at this venue.

While the humidity will reach 50%, there is a 26% chance of rain during the game. Having said that, clouds will envelop the site during the game.

This Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch seemed to aid quick bowlers throughout the game, making it extremely difficult for batters to counterattack. Expect a low-scoring game, which means that even a score of 140-150 can be fairly competitive.
