Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Prediction

Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Team Previews

Delhi Capitals

As opposed to some of the other teams, DC has not been impacted by the absence of foreign players. In fact, it will be strengthened by the return of Shreyas Iyer and R Ashwin, and could be more powerful than it was in the first half of the IPL 2021. Chris Woakes, who has been replaced by Ben Dwarshius, is the only major eviction. DC has a strong team, and we expect it to start with a lineup similar to the one used in the first half.  In the first half of the IPL, both Steve Smith and Shimron Hetmyer were used, and we believe only one of them will make the starting eleven. The conditions in Dubai have been ideal for pace bowling, so having Kagiso Rabada, Avesh Khan, Ishant Sharma, and Anrich Nortje contending for three spots is a good bet. No matter which unit you look at, DC’s squad has a lot of variety. The danger here is that the rebalancing will have to be clear once some key players return to the starting lineup.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH will be without one major player in  Jonny Bairstow and will be joined by Sherfane Rutherford. We believe this is a good move because Rutherford is in excellent form and will help to strengthen the middle order. In the first half, SRH actually dropped David Warner from the playing eleven, but now that Bairstow is out, he will be able to play again. David Warner can win games on his own if he is driven, but his last several bad performances makes us wary of betting on him.  A strong batting lineup, but one that will need to perform in match situations. Rashid Khan will be the greatest danger in the bowling unit, and the Indian pacers will need to back him up. In the first half of the IPL, Sandeep Sharma, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Vijay Shankar, and Khaleel Ahmed were all far below their greatest. SRH’s bowling department will once again be their greatest flaw.
