IPL 2021 Match 20: DC vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | DC vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today | Delhi Capitals vs Sun Risers Hyderabad | Key Players | Chennai Pitch Report
After winning their first match in the IPL 2021, Orange Army Sunrisers Hyderabad will go down to the wire with the Delhi Capitals for the 20th match of the IPL. This also happens to be their last match of both the teams in Chennai.
Orange Army bowlers kept Punjab batters in check in the last game and restricted them to 120 in their 20 overs. Khaleel Ahmed was the pick of bowlers from SRH Camp, as he ended up with 3 wickets and just gave away 21 runs from his 4 overs.
While chasing a low total, David Warner (37 off 37 and Jonny Bairstow (63 off 56 balls) started brilliantly and sealed the game in the first 6 overs. Then, the calmness of Kane Williamson shone through. They have a lot of positives to take from this match and SRH fans will hope that this win makes the tournament wide open for them, despite the loss of T Natarajan for the rest of the tournament.
At the same time, Delhi Capitals went to beat the Defending Champions in their last match. That also happened to be their first win at Chepauk since 2010. They made most of their bowling resources against MI. They started with Stoinis who got de Kock early which eventually set up the match for them. After that, Mishra (4/24) came and did what he does best. He was adjudged Man of the Match for his performance.
Despite Shreyas being missing out, Capitals batter has done well so far, and with Steve Smith chipping in, they would be more confident going into the next match against SRH.

Chepauk Chennai Pitch Report Conditions
The Pitch Report by Matthew Hayden from MI vs PBKS match.
“The wicket is dry, it will turn and it is extremely challenging to play on. It’s about the toughness of characters and only champions like AB de Villiers rise on this track. It’s also the last match both these sides would be playing at Chepauk. Now, this pitch might be slow, low, sticky, totally non-T20-like, but it’s never boring.”
Fantasy nuts need to check which deck is being used before the toss.
