The Delhi Capitals (SRH) and the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be playing against each other in the 35th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). This match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in New Delhi on April 19th at 7:30 PM IST. 

The Sunrisers have been the most entertaining team in IPL 2024. They have played aggressively, and it has yielded positive results for them in most of the games. They have four wins under their belt from six games and are currently in the top four of the points table. 

The Capitals had a moderate start to the tournament. However, in the last couple of games, they seem to have found their rhythm. Rishabh Pant and his boys are currently in the lower half of the points table, but they will look to ride on the momentum, pick up a win in this game and find a place in the top four. 


How the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch has behaved?

This will be the first game of IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The wicket here has traditionally been good for batting, with a bit of something on it for the spinners. But this will be a fresh wicket, and it is expected that the batters will rule the day. However, the Capitals management could use a drier wicket to limit the big-hitting SRH batters. 


DC vs SRH - Predicted Toss Result

The Sunrisers Hyderabad has enjoyed setting targets in IPL 2024. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals might look to put SRH out of their comfort zone and put them under the scoreboard pressure. So, there is a chance that the skipper who wins the toss will look to bat first. 


DC vs SRH - Predicted Score

Predicted First Innings Score: 160-170
Predicted Second Innings Score: 150-165

Predicted Result: Team batting first to win the game.

Expected result - The South African middle-order batter has not been at his best in the tournament. There is a chance that while batting in the middle overs, Markram might have to face Kuldeep Yadav. Given the records, it is expected that Kuldeep will be dominant in the face-off. However, the previous numbers suggest that Markram might emerge as the one with the upper hand in this case. 


DC vs SRH - Weakness of the teams

Delhi Capitals 

Sumit Kumar

This Indian has not yet delivered either with the bat or the ball. Sumit Kumar is finding it hard to make an impression and, hence, looks like the weakest link of the DC team. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Jaydev Unadkat

The Indian left-hander pacer has found no form with the ball in the tournament. In five matches, Unadkat has picked up just four wickets while having an economy of 11.36. In the current form, Unadkat looks like the biggest weak link for the SRH team. 


DC vs SRH - Strengths of the teams

Delhi Capitals

Jake Fraser-McGurk

The 22-year-old Australian batter has impressed everyone with his aggressive batting style in IPL 2024. McGurk's simple approach of going after the bowling, irrespective of the playing conditions and match situation, makes him a strength of the Capitals. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Heinrich Klaasen

The South African middle-order batter has been in great form in the last 10-12 months. Heinrich Klaasen has carried the momentum into this tournament and is looking in great touch. Klaasen has the ability to change the complexion of the game with his aggressive style and will be the biggest strength of the SRH team in this game.
