Delhi Capitals secured their first victory of the season in the last game and now they tour to Hyderabad to take on the Sunrisers, who have endured a very topsy-turvy campaign so far.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday. DC finally opened their account with a four-wicket victory against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

With respect to SRH, there appears to be a lot of confusion over the designated roles of some of the instrumental players in the team. All-rounder Washington Sundar hasn’t been bowling in the powerplay, which is when he is at his best with the ball. Opener Mayank Agarwal was demoted to number six in the previous game and Harry Brook hasn’t really had much to show barring the terrific century he scored against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
The bowling beams with potential but the batting unit isn’t giving them much to play with at this moment and Aiden Markram will be hoping that a return to their home turf ensures their return to winning ways on Monday.
Predicted Playing XI
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Harry Brook, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Mayank Agarwal, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klassen (wk), Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, Mayank Markande
Impact Player: Mayank Dagar
Delhi Capitals: David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Phil Salt (wk), Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma
Impact Player: Aman Khan
Key Player to Watch
Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
The captain needs to take charge of a faltering campaign for the SRH. He doesn’t have much to show with the bat barring the half-century against KKR. The batting unit is failing to click cohesively at the moment and an impactful performance from Markram at home can turbocharge the franchise to revive their campaign straightaway.
Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals)
Delhi have a flailing middle-order at their disposal and the onus to carry the same well rests on Axar Patel’s shoulders. The southpaw has added newer elements to his overall batting style. He is comfortable manoeuvring the strike as well as unleashing the big shots as and when required. With the ball, he can mount pressure on SRH’s overseas contingent in the middle overs.
Pitch Report
The average first innings batting score in this track in just two T20Is is 196, which suggests that a fairly high-scoring encounter is on the cards on Monday.
Where to Watch
