Delhi Capitals is at the bottom of the points table with 4 points in 7 games. Sunrisers Hyderabad are placed 9th in the Indian Premier League points table with 4 points in 7 games but a superior Net Run Rate to Delhi Capitals. Both teams’ last game was against each other when Delhi Capitals defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 runs. Here is all you need to know before the DC vs SRH clash.
Delhi Capitals have registered two wins in their last two games after 5 losses in the opening 5 games. In the last two games DC has improved a lot in their bowling department. Since Ishant Sharma has come into the team, the bowling department has looked very different from what it was in the opening 5 games. Ishant in the last two games has bowled 7 overs and has given away just 37 runs picking up three wickets.
Sunrisers Hyderabad comes into this game after suffering three consecutive defeats. The inconsistencies in their batting department have been evident in their last three games. Harry Brook who scored the first century of this season has scored 34 runs in the next three games. SRH’s previous game hero, Washington Sundar has also been ruled out for the remainder of the season which will further hamper the squad.
