DC vs SRH Match Preview
Both these teams are in good form. The Sunrisers have won their last three matches. Delhi have won their last two matches. They have both done this because they have outstanding batting, bowling and fielding personnel. The Capitals and Sunrisers are among the 2024 IPL title contenders.
You should certainly consider putting Sunrisers duo Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head in your Dream11 team. Both are striking at almost 200 runs per ball this IPL season. Head will go into this match after hitting a century against the Royal Challengers Bangalore recently.
The Capitals have one of the best left-arm seamers in the tournament. Khaleel Ahmed is their leading wicket-taker this season. Conditions in Delhi could play right into his hands. Slower deliveries and pinpoint accuracy, combined with reasonable speed, will be key for Ahmed.
If you are looking for a burgeoning all-rounder on your Dream11 teamsheet, look no further than Tristan Stubbs. The South African star has had a big impact with the bat for the Capitals this IPL season. In his last outing, during victory over the Gujarat Titans, he also took two important wickets with his part-time spin.
You will have a few world-class wicketkeepers to choose from. Rishabh Pant and Klaasen are immense assets behind the stumps and with the bat. Pick Pant as your captain, if you are not going to go for SRH's Pat Cummins, who is also a great option.
Kuldeep Yadav simply has to come into play when looking for a good wrist spinner. Turning the ball into or away from right-handers, he can be lethal in the right circumstances. Axar Patel is another solid slow-bowling choice. He can weigh in with the bat as well. Patel is a decent all-rounder.
Weather Report
No rain is forecast in Delhi on matchday. Hot and humid conditions are expected. The team to win the toss will likely elect to bat first.
Pitch Report
The pitch at this Delhi venue is renowned for being among the slowest in India. Both teams should play two specialist spinners. A first-innings total of 180-plus can be considered competitive here.
Notable stats
Ahmed in form
As one of the best left-arm seamers in the tournament, Ahmed has taken at least one wicket in each of his last seven matches. That is superb consistency, indeed.
Team News
Neither team are likely to make changes to winning XIs. But conditions might necessitate the addition of an extra spinner at the expense of a seamer.
