High on confidence Delhi Capitals (DC) will battle wounded Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 11th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) at Abu Dhabi. After winning two consecutive matches, the Delhi Capitals team will be full of confidence and will try to maintain this rhythm against Sunrisers Hyderabad.


On the other hand, the Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by David Warner, is the only team in the tournament waiting for the first win, so they will ensure to bring their best today to bounce back.




Delhi Capitals showed great spirit in both the opening matches and recorded two wins. Under the captaincy of young star player Shreyas Iyer, DC defeated the heavyweights Chennai Super Kings after beating Kings XI Punjab in a Super Over match.


On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad will try to make their comeback with this match. In the opening match of the season, the team failed to achieve the target of 164 runs even after brilliant batting performances from Johnny Bairstow and Manish Pandey. In their second match, the team failed to score big against Kolkata Knight Riders.

 

Nabi contributed well with both the ball and bat for SRH in their last game. The team, however, can add veteran Kane Williamson to today's playing XI in this match to strengthen their middle-order.


SRH's star spinner Rashid Khan too has done well in bowling but he did not get the same support from other bowlers. If Hyderabad has to win against Delhi, then other bowlers of the team will also have to show good performance and share the pressure.

 

IPL 2020: DC vs SRH Pitch report

The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium usually favours batsmen more than the bowlers because it's flat but somewhere in the middle overs spinners can get some assistance from the pitch. Because of the dew present at the ground, chasing would be ideal.
