After an entertaining weekend, we are now looking at the 34th game of this IPL. It is the clash of two teams who haven’t gotten much success till now in the tournament. Hence, this game holds extreme importance for them.
MATCH PREVIEW
Both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals are struggling in IPL 2023 and will play against each other to gain momentum. Sunrisers come into this game after losing their last two matches, while Capitals snapped their losing streak in their previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Capitals further need to fix their batting unit, with only David Warner and Axar Patel scoring over 100 runs in the tournament. Capitals have made 12 changes to their side in six games. Therefore, they are yet to name an unchanged XI.
SRH have also struggled with their opening combination, using four different pairs in six games. The top order’s inconsistency is a concern, with only Harry Brook scoring a century. Also, Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram have not performed well either, and Washington Sundar has yet to make a significant contribution with bat and ball.
