Match Preview:

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

  • Sunrisers Hyderabad is struggling with no batsman in the team upon whom the team can rely on outside the top-three. They have to make changes in their playing XI. Mitchell Marsh’s injury has troubled them and now they have to find its solution.
  • Mohammad Nabi performed quite well against KKR. Now SRH has to find out the right combination of their overseas player. Still, Jason Holder has not finished his quarantine period. Discussions are going on to include Kane Williamson in the playing squad.
  • After the injury of Mitchell Marsh, now the team is over-dependent upon Bhuvneshwar Kumar. T Natarajan and Khaleel Ahmed are inexperienced. The pitch here can be more beneficial for spinners rather than pacers. That’s why Mohammad Nabi can complement Rashid Khan. If Nabi will be ruled out then Rashid Khan could be on much pressure.

Probable Playing XI:

Jonny Bairstow (wk), David Warner (C), Manish Pandey, Mohammad Nabi, Wriddhiman Saha/Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Rashid Khan, Priyam Garg/Abdul Samad, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Khaleel Ahmed

Delhi Capitals:

  • Now Delhi Capitals are leading on the points table with two back-to-back wins. As a captain, Shreyas Iyer is doing a fantastic job, and his decision to keep Rabada’s three-over for the death overs proved successful.
  • Prithvi Shaw also learned from his past errors and played quite well that helped him to get more runs. Improvement in Delhi Capitals is seen completely. Pant and Iyer both played fantastically.
  • DC has an outstanding fast bowling attack with Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada. Both the players are bowling in an accurate rhythm. In the last match, only Avesh Khan was their only weak point as he conceded 42 runs off his four overs.

Probable Playing XI:

Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Shreyas Iyer (C), Shimron Hetmyer, Amit Mishra, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Avesh Khan/Harshal Patel, Anrich Nortje
