Who will WIN this matchup?

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Delhi Capitals

 

Current odds:

Sunrisers Hyderabad: (+120)

Delhi Capitals: (-150)

 

Two teams at opposite ends of the IPL table clash on Wednesday evening in Dubai International Cricket Stadium when the Delhi Capitals (W6, L2) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (W1, L6) lock horns. The Capitals – who can go top with a win here – had a good first part of the season in India and look set to challenge for the crown this year, while the Sunrisers will hope for a turnaround in fortunes after a poor first phase sees them come into this game as the current wooden spoon holders. With 11 H2H wins to the Capitals eight, the Sunrisers can at least look to history for some inspiration.

The Capitals have pinned much of their season on the big-name opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw, who together have combined for 54% of Delhi’s total runs off the bat. Dhawan is the Capitals’ leading run-scorer (380) as well as topping the IPL charts going into the postponement. Prithvi Shaw has been at his aggressive best, averaging 1.5 sixes in each game. With his recent selection in the Indian World Cup side, Ravichandran Ashwin will want to come back strong after averaging an unenviable 147 with the ball before the break.
