Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals Predictions

Delhi Capitals have slipped up in the last two games, but they have quality players in form. With the fight still raging for top spot, I’m backing the Capitals to come good against a Sunrisers side who have to win all four of their remaining games for an outside chance of making the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals’ KL Rahul has scored 38, 28, 57* & 41 in his last 5 innings.
Delhi Capitals’ Faf du Plessis has scored 29, 50, 22 & 62 in his last 5 innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Abhishek Sharma has scored 141, 40 & 74 in his last 5 innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Heinrich Klaasen has scored 21*, 37, 71 & 23 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

Delhi Capitals have won three and lost two of their last five matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

Sunrisers bounced back from a pair of defeats to beat CSK by five wickets, only to lose their next match by 38 runs to the Gujarat Titans.

The Titans racked up 224/6 off their 20 overs. Jaydev Unadkat (3/35, econ 8.75) was the pick of the Sunrisers bowlers.

Abhishek Sharma (74 off 41 balls) got the chase off to a good start, but the Titans bowlers kept things tight to restrict the Sunrisers to 186/6 off their 20 overs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News

Mohammed Shami's poor form has impacted the effectiveness of the Sunrisers’ attack. He is an incredibly dangerous bowler, so it would be a big call to drop him when the team needs four wins from four. My guess is they will keep the faith in him.

Delhi Capitals Form

Delhi Capitals suffered their third defeat in four matches when they lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders by 14 runs.

Mitchell Starc (3/43) starred with the ball, backed by Vipraj Nigam (2/41) and Axar Patel (2/27), but the Knight Riders still cracked 204/9 off their 20 overs.

Faf du Plessis (62 off 45 balls) and Axar Patel (43 off 23) kept the Capitals in the hunt but they struggled to keep up with the asking rate. Vipraj Nigam (38 off 19) hit out at the end but they still fell 14 runs short at the end of their 20 overs.

Delhi Capitals Team News

Delhi Capitals’ away form is better than their home record this season, so they will be happy to take on the Sunrisers in Hyderabad.

Verdict

Sunrisers Hyderabad v Delhi Capitals - T20

I am backing Delhi Capitals to win. I am also backing KL Rahul to top score for Delhi Capitals.

Abhishek Sharma is a good bet to top score for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
