DC vs SRH 2023: IPL Predictions & Preview – The Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on the SRH in the 40th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on April 29, 2023, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, India. The match is scheduled to start at 2:00 PM local time.
DC has won each of their last five matches against SRH, and the latter has lost each of their last two matches played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC has a stronger batting line-up compared to that of SRH, making them the favorites to win the match.
In terms of head-to-head record, both teams have won eleven matches each out of the 22 matches that they have played against each other.
DELHI CAPITALS TEAM PREVIEW:
After making a terrible start to the season, DC has won back-to-back matches, the latest of which was against SRH. Nevertheless, they are still at the bottom of the points table and still have quite a bit of work to do to reach the top half.
While the team will still rely on David Warner to give them a good start here, the Capitals would have been a bit relieved to see the likes of Mitchell Marsh and Manish Pandey score some runs in the last match. The team does have plenty of firepower in their top and middle order, including Prithvi Shaw, Sarfaraz Khan, and Phil Salt, however, all three of them have failed to get going till now.
Axar Patel has showcased his all-round talent pretty well this season and is the second-highest run-scorer for the Capitals this season. He has also picked up six wickets and is a vital cog in the squad. He will partner with Kuldeep Yadav to ask tough questions to the Sunrisers’ batting.
Talking about the seam bowling, Ishant Sharma has played just two matches this season but has made a big impact on the proceedings. In addition, the team also has Anrich Nortje and Mukesh Kumar, and together, the trio makes up a decent pace attack.
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD TEAM PREVIEW:
SRH has been struggling to say the least in the last few matches. They have now lost three matches on the trot and if they lose this one, they will fall to the bottom of the points table.
Despite the season being halfway through, the Sunrisers have been unable to find the right combination of players, especially in the batting department, and have paid a heavy price for it. One of the most hyped additions to the team, Harry Brook, has struggled against the slower bowlers and has only one big inning to flash his big-hitting credentials.
Most teams have worked out that Brook still needs to adapt his game to spin and is especially vulnerable on slightly slower surfaces.
Mayank Agarwal and Rahul Tripathi have been a bit more consistent, but they have been made to work hard to score those runs, and we haven’t seen a fluent innings from them. In fact, we would say that both players have underperformed their potential despite getting an average amount of runs.
The team does have a good amount of depth thanks to Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, and Washington Sundar, but none of them have been able to play a match-winning inning. Sending Markram and Klaasen up the order may be something that SRH is forced to do in this match.
PITCH & CONDITIONS | Best IPL Betting Tips:
The pitch at Delhi is a bit on the drier side, and the batsmen will need to see the first few overs through before they start playing the big shots. The seamers will be able to extract some movement, especially early on. That said, even the spinners will come into play later on in the match.
Overall, we are likely to see an even contest between the bat and the ball. The average score here is around 170.
IPL Predictions 2023 | Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad:
DC defeated SRH in their earlier meet and are the favorites to win this match as well. Some of the big names in their batting line-up seem to have finally gained some confidence, and we should see them score some runs here. On the other hand, SRH has struggled to perform as a unit.
We think the DC batting lineup has not yet fired, and if players like Salt or even Shaw can get going, then the team has a great chance of having a strong second half of the season. Bet on the Delhi Capitals to win.
