Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Prediction: Delhi have less than 50% win percentage

Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are going head to head in the Match 35 of Indian Premier League at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India on 20th April, 2024. Delhi have less than 50% win percentage in the IPL so far. Who will win this game of cricket?

Rishab Pant's team remains in contention for a spot in the next round after a convincing 6-wicket victory over the Gujarat Titans. The DC bowlers put up an outstanding performance by restricting the Titans to just 89 runs. However, Pant is concerned about the inconsistency of his batsmen and urges players like Jake Fraser-McGurk and Prithvi Shaw to provide a solid start at the top. The middle order, consisting of Abishek Porel, Shai Hope, and Rishab Pant himself, needs to step up and contribute more runs. Additionally, the lower middle order, including Sumit Kumar, Tristan Stubbs, and Axar Patel, must also make valuable contributions.

The team's bowling attack faces a tough challenge against the strong batting lineup of the Sunrisers. Khaleel Ahmed and Ishant Sharma are expected to deliver good spells with the new ball, while Kuldeep Yadav will play a crucial role in the middle overs alongside Mukesh Kumar. Support from Tristan Stubbs and Patel will also be vital in containing the opposition's batsmen.

In the last match, Pat Cummins' team made history with a 25-run victory against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, scoring 287 runs which set a new record for the IPL. The team has been on a winning streak, with their batting lineup proving to be very strong. Cummins is hoping for a better performance from his bowlers in the next game. Travis Head scored an impressive century in the previous match and will aim to provide a solid start alongside Abhishek Sharma. The middle order, consisting of Heinrich Klaasen, Abdul Samad, and Aiden Markram, has been performing well this season. Nitish Reddy, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Cummins himself bring strength to the batting lineup. However, the bowling attack has not been as successful this season, and the team is looking for improved performances. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shahbaz Ahmed will be key in taking early wickets, while T Natarajan and Cummins will need to perform well in the middle overs. Mayank Markande and Jaydev Unadkat will provide depth to the bowling attack. Heinrich Klaasen is expected to be the top batsman, with Mayank Markande as the top bowler.

The Delhi Capitals have been struggling to find consistency this season, with both their top and middle order not performing up to par. Additionally, their bowling attack has faced difficulties with the new ball. In order to be successful against the strong batting lineup they are facing, Delhi Capitals will need a solid performance from their bowlers. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad has been impressive with their bowling throughout the season, showcasing versatility in their attack. This gives them an advantage in the upcoming match. Therefore, it is predicted that Sunrisers Hyderabad will emerge as the winners.
