Date & Time : 5th May 2022, 7:30 PM IST

Delhi Capitals have been ok with their performances thus far in the IPL but definitely would want more of a winning performances to make them qualify for the playoffs.
DC are currently seventh in the points table after 9 games with 8 points. They next play CSK.
Delhi’s batting have been a concern recently with batsman in dire need of some big runs. Small contributions combined are good but still the top batsman need to get one step further and score a ton. As for their bowing this is a problem too with absence of a five-for.
DC have so far won against, MI, KKR (2) & PBKS, They have lost to GT, LSG (2), RCB & RR.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have been pretty much of a confident team in terms of getting up the table and they look favourites to finish atop with GT, RR & LSG until something dramatic happens.
SRH are currently fifth in the points table after 9 games with 10 points.
Hyderabad’s batsman have been in form of late and they will look to continue the good work. In terms of their bowlers too they have performed and are a collective bowling unit.
SRH have so far won against CSK, GT, KKR, PBKS & RCB. They have lost to RR, LSG, GT & CSK.
In terms of the head to head, Hyderabad have the upper hand compared to Delhi having won 11 games compared to 9 out of 20 played.
As for the wicket, batsman will get aid with bowlers with precision rewarded.
