Team News:
Delhi Capitals:
Delhi have now qualified for the playoffs for the 2nd consecutive time. However, their performance against Mumbai was beyond pathetic. Their top-order batsmen yet again failed to trouble the scorers, and a rescue act from Marcus Stoinis and Axar Patel got them to a total of some respect. Their bowlers have looked lacklustre, with Rabada and Nortje now leaking a lot of runs. Expect for them to make a few changes in this game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad:
Sunrisers continue to impress everyone with their exceptional display of bowling. The star-studded batting lineup of Royal Challengers was restricted to 131 runs, which they ended up chasing comfortably after the hiccup in the middle. Kane Williamson guided SRH home with a cool, calm, and composed knock under pressure. Jason Holder has provided the team with a whole new balance. They would be hoping that Saha makes it for the crucial match.
