Match Analysis
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is a superb batting pitch, with the average innings score heading towards 190.
It’s looking like it will be a warm evening, with temperatures hitting a heavy 32°C along with high humidity, so the bowlers are likely to contend with a fair amount of dew in the second innings. Chasing becomes a preferable option, but that said this season the Sunrisers have batted first in their three matches at the ground, scoring 156/9 (lost), 216/6 (won) and 194/9 (won). A good first innings score gives the defending bowlers a lot more to work with.
The pitch is likely to slow through the innings, allowing spinners to draw some nice turn in the middle overs. The pacemen will look to hit a good line and length early to maximise the early pace and movement on the pitch before it flattens out.
The weather reports suggest clear skies with almost no chance of any rain. The stadium’s short square boundaries (63m to 66m) combined with the flat pitch are a recipe for between 15-20 sixes. In the three matches at the stadium this season the sides have hit a combined six total of 11, 21 and 13.
Betting Markets to Watch
Best Delhi Capitals Bowler
Lungi Ngidi has taken at least one wicket in an innings in 4 of his 5 IPL matches this season, including figures of 3/27 & 2/39. He is backed to be the Capitals’ best bowler.
Score Over/Under Runs
Heinrich Klaasen has scored 31, 52, 62, 39, 40 & 59 in his 6 IPL innings and looks like a banker to score 29 runs or more in this match.
Take Over/Under Wickets
Eshan Malinga is the Sunriders’ leading wicket-taker with 8 wickets at a strike-rate of 14.3 balls per wicket, so he is worth backing to take 2 or more wickets
Best Delhi Capitals Batter
KL Rahul has posted two big scores in his last three knocks, and as an opener with 20 overs open to him, I’m backing him to be the best of the Capitals batters.
Latest Odds
| Market | Odds |
|---|---|
| Sunrisers Hyderabad Win | 1.76 |
