TEAM NEWS
Delhi Capitals: Head coach Ricky Ponting has invested a lot on all-rounder Lalit Yadav but modest returns of 137 runs and four wickets from nine games don't do justice to his enormous potential. Anrich Nortje's retention has backfired badly as the South African quick has hardly been of use and save Kuldeep Yadav (17 wickets) and partly Khaleel Ahmed (11), none of the other bowlers have looked menacing.
Mustafizur Rahaman has been good in patches but far from being the skiddy customer that he was between 2015-18. Skipper Rishabh Pant (234 from nine games) showed glimpses of his destructive power but the team would want more from its skipper who is more than capable of hammering any attack into submission.

Prithvi Shaw, who had started the tourney on a bright note hasn't been in his element in last few games and David Warner would ideally like to convert one of his fifties into a hundred. Shardul Thakur's quickish medium-fast bowling could test the SRH line-up.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: SRH's batting in their five wins mainly relied on Abhishek, Aiden Markram (263 in nine games) and Rahul Tripathi (228 in nine games). Young opener Abhishek Sharma has been consistently giving good starts for SRH.
Skipper Kane Williamson hasn't really set the stage on fire but the Kiwi would definitely like to be the one to make a difference soon. SRH will miss the services of all-rounder Washington Sundar with a hand injury, and probably, Jagadeesha Suchith will be bowling his slow left-arm orthodox.
Delhi Capitals will be wary of the opponent’s bowling attack that has Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan and Marco Jansen who would be coming relentlessly to increase their points tally from 10 to 12.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
