Sunrisers Hyderabad’s next stop is the capital i.e. New Delhi where they will be squaring off against the home side Delhi Capitals at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. Sunrisers Hyderabad are coming into this encounter with loads of confidence on their back after humiliating RCB by a margin of 118 runs.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals who were cruising against Kings XI Punjab in the last game failed to finish yet again after slumping to a miserable collapse which saw them losing 7 wickets for just 8 runs. Once Rishabh Pant was removed by Mohammad Shami, it was a sudden collapse as wickets fall in a cluster.
The toiling Delhi suffered in the last game has definitely lowered their confidence which can hinder their chances in this game against much stronger and compassionate opposition in Sunrisers Hyderabad.
If we talk about the head-to-head battles between the two sides, the Sunrisers from Hyderabad have had the upper hand over Delhi Capitals ever since the two teams collided for the first time in the year 2013. A total of 12 encounters have taken place between these two teams, SRH have won 8 times while Delhi Capitals have only managed 4 wins.
The last battle between these two sides took place at the Feroz Shah Kotla in the last edition where Sunrisers Hyderabad quite convincingly won the match by 9 wickets while chasing a formidable score of 187 runs.
