DC vs SRH HIGHLIGHTS, IPL 2020: Sunrisers Hyderabad Beat Delhi Capitals By 15 Runs To Register First Win Of The Season

Delhi Capitals look to continue their merry ways and retain top spot in points table, while wounded SRH will aim to get their first win in IPL 2020 as the two team square off at Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. After back-to-back defeats, SRH eye their first win of the season. David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad need to fire up as a team and not just depend on individual performances.

Background

DC vs SRH LIVE Score, IPL 2020: Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals will lock horns in the 11th match of IPL 13 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. Today's match is going to be between two such teams, one of which is number one in the points table, while one is in last place. Delhi has won both their matches. At the same time, Hyderabad is the only team in the tournament that is yet to win their first match.

 

Delhi Capitals batting is in excellent form. Young talented batsman Prithvi Shaw was brilliant with the bat against Chennai. Star opener Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and captain Shreyas Iyer also played good innings.

The way Delhi's batting order is, fans can see the team scoring and chasing big totals in the future games of the tournament and it is very likely that Delhi will put up a brilliant show against Hyderabad in today's game as well.

 

In his last match, Shaw scored 64 runs off just 43 balls . Dhawan, Iyer and Pant had scored runs but not in the style for which they are known. In this match, Delhi would like that these three batsmen especially Pant return to his old rhythm.

 

Delhi Capitals look very strong in bowling. Kagiso Rabada, Enrique Nortje also did well in the last match. Akshar Patel and Amit Mishra were also effective. What is the status of injured Ravichandran Ashwin, nothing has been known yet. If Ashwin comes in the playing XI, then Amit Mishra may have to go out.

 

If Hyderabad wants to win, it will have to solve the problems of their batting order. After Johnny Bairstow, David Warner and to some extent Manish Pandey, the team does not have any batsman who can meet the requirement of T20 formats and score quick runs.

 

In both the previous matches, Hyderabad has suffered because of this. If Warner and Bairstow perform with the bat and give them a good start, then SRH find themselves in a comfortable position, but if both of them get dismissed cheaply, then it becomes difficult for the team to even make a respectable score.

As far as bowling is concerned, Hyderabad has a great bowling attack has the ability to defend even a low score. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the leader of fast bowling attack. Sandeep Sharma supports him well.

In spin department, the team has a star spinner like Rashid Khan and if the team does not make changes for today's game then Mohammad Nabi can also play an important role with the ball. Hyderabad will also have to work on team combination.

Mohammad Nabi has the ability play some big shots, but Hyderabad needs a star hard-hitting batsman like Andre Russell, Kieran Pollard. Priyam Garg, Wriddhimana Saha, Abhishek Sharma are not able to play this role nor do they have the experience that the team needs in the lower order. Hyderabad needs to work on this if they wish to do well in the tournament.

 

Predicted Playing XI (Both teams)

 

Delhi Capitals: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Shikhar Dhawan, Shimron Hetmyer, Akshar Patel, Marcus Stoinis, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohit Sharma

Pandey who bagged a good running catch earlier DROPS one off Khaleel's first delivery but in the next ball the speedster bowls a beauty to Axar Patel to send him back to the pavilion for five. 25 runs required in the last two balls as SRH look for final finishing touches! Ahmed gives away 9 runs in the last two balls but too late for DC and they loose the game by 15 runs! Another team that won the toss, loses the game!
