Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will square off against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 34th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday (April 24). While SRH lost their last game to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by seven wickets, DC registered a convincing victory over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Abhishek Sharma top-scored for SRH with 34 runs off 26 deliveries in the match against CSK. However, no other batter could get going from the Hyderabad-based team, and they eventually ended up on a below-par total. Although Mayank Markande picked two wickets for his side in the contest, SRH failed to defend the target and eventually lost to Chennai. Meanwhile, David Warner shined for DC in their win over KKR. Warner scored a resilient fifty in the run chase comprising eleven boundaries. Among bowlers, Ishant Sharma, Anrich Nortje and Kuldeep Yadav bagged two scalps each for Delhi in the first innings.
SRH are currently on the ninth spot of the IPL 2023 points table and will look to make a comeback by defeating DC on Monday. On the other hand, the Delhi-based team are on the last position with just one win in six matches and will aim to carry the momentum they got in their previous game.
Pitch report:
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is a batter-friendly venue. However, bowlers can also receive help from the surface if they bowl in the right areas. The dew factor will play a role in the game as well, and a high-scoring match is expected to take place.
