SRH vs DC Review – Hyderabad face bottom-placed Delhi
Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on the Delhi Capitals in the 34th match of the ongoing 16th edition of the Indian Premier League, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on April 24, Monday. The two sides have had similar campaigns so far as they’ve seen more losses than victories and hence would be aiming for a morale-boosting win.
Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their previous encounter against the Chennai super kings, after losing the game against the Mumbai Indians. Coming off two consecutive losses, the Orange Army will be eager to break the losing streak and get back to winning ways. The team hasn’t looked balanced and the players have not looked consistent enough in the tournament so far hence a victory might get things on track.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, claimed their first victory of IPL 2023 when they defeated the Kolkata knight riders on Thursday, April 20, and grab the first two points to open their account on the points table. They continue to remain in the bottom-most position but would be hoping to get another victory so as to keep this lightest of hopes alive to make it to the playoffs.
Pitch and conditions
The surface at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium offers equal assistance to both batters and bowlers. The batters can make full use of the powerplay overs, and can aim for a big total if they continue to play the strokes with ease.

Here’s the probable playing XI for Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals clash:
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad have had an unbalanced outing this season, and they need to get their combination right so as to win games. They showed brilliance in the two back-to-back games that they won, but things fell out of place following that and hence they would be eager for a victory.
Delhi Capitals
Having finally found the winning momentum, Delhi Capitals are unlikely to make any changes to their playing combination. While David Warner and Axar Patel are in great touch, the rest of the team members need to step up and contribute to the team’s victory.
