DC vs SRH match preview

Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will cross swords in the 33rd match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The M Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi will host the contest.

The Capitals are still at the bottom half of the table and need to extend their winning streak to further climb the skipper. SRH, on the other hand, have looked the most ruthless batting unit in the tournament.

The Capitals and the Sunrisers have faced each other 23 times since their first meeting back in 2013. SRH are leading DC 12-11 on the head-to-head count. At home, the Capitals have a poor record against the Orange Army, winning only 1 out of 6 games.

In their previous meeting, SRH beat DC by 9 runs. Mitchell Marsh won the Player of the Match award after he scored 63 runs off 39 balls and picked up 4 wickets for 27 runs. DC do not have Marsh this time as he has returned to Australia after tearing his hamstring.

The upcoming DC vs SRH prediction may turn out to be a one-sided affair as the Sunrisers are in a different zone altogether.

Delhi Capitals

The Capitals started their campaign with losses in 4 out of 5 games. However, the team, led by Rishabh Pant, is gradually finding their feet in the tournament. They will go into the match after beating Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans by 6 wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

After opting to bowl first, DC bowled their opponents out for 89 in 17.3 overs. Mukesh Kumar picked up 3 wickets while Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs accounted for 2 scalps apiece. Later, the Capitals chased down the target with 11.1 overs to spare. Rishabh Pant won the Player of the Match award.

The DC vs SRH prediction will depend on how the Capitals carry their form after their thumping win against the Titans.

After being asked to bat, SRH scored 287 for the loss of 3 wickets. Travis Head hit the fourth fastest fifty in the history of the IPL. Thereafter, they restricted RCB to 262 for 7.

Player of the Match prediction: Travis Head

Travis Head is in brilliant form and has taken SRH off to flying starts in the tournament. If he bats in the first 10 overs, opponents go on the backfoot. He is one of the contenders to win the Player of the Match. Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen have also done brilliantly thus far and can win the award as well.
