SRH vs DC Head-to-Head Record

Matches played: 26
Matches won by SRH: 13
Matches won by DC: 12
No Result: 1

Last year, DC beat SRH by seven wickets with four overs to spare. But, DC will miss the services of Mitchell Starc who took a fifer in that clash.

Predicted Playing XI for Both Teams

SRH’s pace attack looks good even in the absence of Pat Cummins. Nitish Reddy adding extra pace has eased the load of skipper Ishan Kishan. Liam Livingstone may lose his place considering a string of low scores. It is yet to be seen whether they get the services of another Sri Lankan in the lineup, Kamindu Mendis. SRH may end up playing with just three 

Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (c & wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Reddy, Aniket Verma, Salil Arora, Shivang Kumar, Harsh Dubey/Kamindu Mendis, Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain, Eshan Malinga

DC may make stick with the same combination or make a couple of changes. Axar Patel is fit to play after getting retired hurt in the previous game. Karun Nair did not make the most of the chance he got against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). DC may give Nitish Rana a chance in Nair’s place. Rana also gives them a spin-bowling option. Meanwhile, Abishek Porel and Prithvi Shaw wait for their turn. 

As per the situation of the game, DC may opt for either Auqib Nabi or Ashutosh Sharma. Vipraj Nigam is another option they have for the lower order batter who can contribute with the ball. 

KL Rahul (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana/Karun Nair, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (c), David Miller, Auqib Nabi/Ashutosh Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, Mukesh Kumar, T Natarajan

Pitch Report and Match Conditions

The game will be played on the same pitch which was used for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) clash. It was a relatively low-scoring encounter with SRH setting a target of 160. Bowlers may have ample assistance from the pitch.

Hyderabad Weather Update for Match Day

Rain may play spoilsport in the SRH vs DC encounter. A thunderstorm with rain is expected on match day.
