The Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their first two games then they won the next two matches and now they’ve lost their last two games. They are in the 9th position with 2 wins in 6 matches. They have been very inconsistent as a team, especially with the bat. They need to be consistent as a group. There have been many question marks over their team selections as well and they’ll need to fix everything and bounce back strongly in this game.
Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, registered their first win of the season after losing 5 matches in a row. They defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 wickets in a low-scoring thriller. They have been very average as a team with both bat and ball. The batters barring David Warner have failed miserably and their bowling has been pretty ineffective as well. Delhi has very slim chances of qualifying for the playoffs and they need to win all of their remaining games to give themselves any chance of doing so.
Team Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad needs the likes of Aiden Markram, Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi and their other big guns to be consistent with the bat. Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram played a couple of good knocks but they’ve failed in the last two games. Harry Brook also needs to get going before it’s too late for his side.
The bowlers have been in good form except for T Natarajan who has been very expensive and has failed to up wickets as well. Mayank Markande and Marco Jansen have been brilliant for the Sunrisers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been in good form as well. As mentioned earlier, they need their batters to be consistent.
Delhi Capitals
Nothing has gone right for the Delhi Capitals this season. Their batters have been below average except for David Warner and the bowlers have been very inconsistent as well. Manish Pandey has played a couple of good knocks. They don’t have good Indian batters and that’s a big reason for their poor performance with the bat. Mitchell Marsh has also failed with the bat until now.
Anrich Nortje bowled really well in the last game. Kuldeep Yadav has been in good form as well. Others have been very ineffective with the ball but Delhi’s bowling was on point in the last game with the likes of Ishant Sharma and Mukesh Kumar bowling well. They will have to be on their toes as a team for the rest of the tournament.
Pitch/Venue Report
The pitch at Hyderabad is a two-paced one. The pacers will get some movement with the new ball and the spinners will also get some purchase off the pitch. Run scoring will be difficult and the batters need to settle in before playing their shots. The average first innings score here is 163 and the chasing sides have won only 39% of the matches played here.
Probable Playing XI
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Harry Brook, Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Marco Jansen, Washington Sundar, Umran Malik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan/Kartik Tyagi, Mayank Markande
Delhi Capitals: David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Philip Salt (wk), Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Aman Khan, Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Mukesh Kumar
Players to Watch Out For
David Warner
David Warner has 285 runs in 6 games at an average of 47.50. He has four 50+ scores in 6 games. Warner is the 2nd highest run-scorer of the tournament and the best batter for Delhi this season. He will be a key player in this match.
Anrich Nortje
Anrich Nortje bowled really well in the last game. He picked up 2 wickets and troubled Andre Russell with his pace. Nortje will be the strike bowler for Delhi and he can trouble the Hyderabad batters.
Aiden Markram
Aiden Markram has looked good in all the games but has failed to convert his starts into big scores. He will be the best batter for his team. Markram can bowl an over or two of his off-spin as well.
Mayank Markande
Mayank Markande has 8 wickets to his name in 4 matches. He has proved to be a genuine wicket-taker for Hyderabad in the middle overs. Markande picked up 2 wickets in the last game and will look to continue his good form in this game as well.
