Captain: Rishabh Pant — back after a serious injury and playing with fire in his eyes. Form: Inconsistent but dangerous — 3 wins in their last 5 matches. Home ground: Arun Jaitley Stadium, where the crowd can provide an extra boost.
Key Players:
DC knows how to pull off close games — especially when their spinners find rhythm. But this season, they’ve lacked a bit of attacking intent. If Pant and Warner don’t lead from the front, things could get difficult.
Captain: Pat Cummins — World Cup winner with nerves of steel and strong leadership. Form: Very solid, with 3 wins in the last 5 matches — but what stands out is how they win. Last match: An astonishing 286/6 — absolute madness for the T20 format.
Key Players:
SRH doesn’t just win — they do it with flair and confidence. Their strategy is full-on aggression from ball one. It doesn’t matter who they face — they go forward, hit hard, and keep pressing.
Last season, Sunrisers completely crushed Delhi: SRH: 266/7 vs DC: 199/10 — the numbers speak for themselves.
Hyderabad has shown they can dominate both at home and away. They approach every game with a clear plan.
Can Delhi contain SRH’s aggressive attack? On paper — unlikely. Even if DC’s spinners perform well, they’ll likely need to post around 190+ to be competitive. Sunrisers, however, have shown they can consistently reach and surpass that mark.
This match promises fireworks — plenty of sixes and dramatic twists. Delhi Capitals will be looking to settle the score from last season, but to win, they’ll need to be near-perfect. Sunrisers, on the other hand, just need to play their natural game — aggressive, fearless, and relentless.

Sunrisers Hyderabad enter this match with momentum and firepower, led by explosive batsmen like Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, along with the leadership of Pat Cummins. Delhi Capitals, while strong at home and boosted by the return of Rishabh Pant, have shown inconsistency, especially in their bowling attack under pressure. If SRH maintain their aggressive approach from ball one, they’re likely to overpower DC’s defense.
