DC vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 40 | DC vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today | Delhi Pitch Report

Delhi Capitals (DC) will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the second game on Saturday (April 29) after KKR host GT. Coincidentally, both teams’ last game was also against each other.

Delhi Capitals are finally on the winning run after losing five consecutive games to start their campaign. They defeated SRH by seven runs on Monday earlier in the week. However, DC’s batting unit is still a matter of concern, particularly the form of Mitchell Marsh and Sarfaraz Khan.

Meanwhile, SRH have underperformed in the competition, given the quality of the players in their squad. Players like Harry Brook and Rahul Tripathi have been inconsistent, and the injury to Washington Sundar is another setback for SRH. However, the form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mayank Markande has been positive for the Orange army.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Delhi Capitals:

• David Warner has been a consistent scorer for Delhi Capitals this year, and he will be after a big knock against his former team. In the seven innings, the southpaw has 306 runs at an average of 43.71 and a strike rate of 119.53 in IPL 2023. This includes four half-centuries.
• Phil Salt hasn’t been able to make an impression in the league so far. However, he is a quality batter and can fire against Sunrisers Hyderabad tonight.
• Manish Pandey has played a couple of good knocks for DC so far. He has managed to arrest the collapse and chipped in with vital runs amidst a poor show from most of the other batters. Pandey has 131 runs at an average of 26.20 and a strike rate of 122.42 this season.
• Axar Patel has been the best batter for Delhi Capitals this year. He has scored runs consistently in every game. Axar also won the Man of the Match award against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last match for his all-round show (34 runs & 2/21).
• Kuldeep Yadav has impressed one and all with his spin bowling this season. Overall, Kuldeep has snared 12 wickets at a strike rate of 21.50 and an economy rate of 7.65 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. He will look to build on this record.
• Anrich Nortje has not taken the big wickets, but he will be key at the death. However, he has got all the required ingredients to trouble the SRH batters. Expect him to bounce back strongly now.

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

• Harry Brook has been mediocre throughout the season, barring a century against KKR. However, he has the ability to score on any surface in the world. Brook will be eager to start piling up runs again.
• Mayank Agarwal enjoys batting against Delhi Capitals in the IPL. In 13 innings, Mayank has 407 runs at an average of 33.91 and a strike rate of 139.86. He has also made three half-centuries. He was the top scorer (49) for his team in the last game.
• Rahul Tripathi has struggled to get going with the willow this season. He is an explosive batter who can race away with the game in no time. SRH would want him to fire from the top.
• Aiden Markram has also underperformed in the season so far. But he is a quality player. Markram has to step up now with both bat and ball to keep his team’s hopes alive.
• Markram in T20s 2023: 21 inns, 577 runs, avg. 33.94, SR 138.70.
