Delhi Capitals (DC) take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bat first in their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday (April 29).
“We are going to bat. Wicket looks on the drier side, there shouldn't be much dew tonight. Hopefully we bat well and put a good total. All experimentation is finished, time to get results. Time for the guys to express themselves and enjoy. We lost Washi, that's a big loss for us. It's an opportunity for someone to cement a spot. We are letting ourselves down with the bat. We haven't been up to par, haven't posted good totals. Akeil makes his debut, Samad also comes back,” SRH skipper Aiden Markram said after winning the toss.
“It's about putting the best foot forward, and adapt to the conditions. We are losing wickets in a cluster. Need to hit down the wicket, need to put a good batting performance. We got to bowl well in the first six overs. Home and away (games) that's a bit challenging, but we are enjoying it. Priyam Garg makes his debut, Aman Khan is out,” DC captain David Warner said after the toss.

Pitch report
“We had some inclement weather earlier but the pitch was covered and unaffected by it, hopefully those clouds are blown away. 60m boundary on one side, 67m on the other side, 74m hit down the ground. All three games here have been won by the chasing team, but the highest score batting first is 172. We are seeing a surface that doesn't have grass, we are seeing a surface that is low scoring. Absolutely no grass-cover at all. Make best use of the surface by batting first," Ian Bishop and Kevin Pietersen analysed the pitch.
