DC vs SRH, IPL 2025: After a magnificent win against the Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals look to extend their winning streak against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Visakhapatnam. The return of KL Rahul strengthens DC's batting order, but SRH hopes to recover from their five wicket loss against LSG.
Despite SRH’s overwhelming start to the season, their batters were disappointing against Lucknow in the previous game. Pat Cummins has a job on his hands in ensuring the team moves on from this disappointing performance. At the same time, DC has an outstanding addition to the squad since KL Rahul is back after paternity leave.
Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: What to look forward to?
Delhi’s top order gets a boost with Rahul’s return. In said game DC found themselves at 65 for 5 at one point and were able to turn things around thanks to Ashutosh Sharma’s 66 off 31 balls and Vipraj Nigam’s 39. Tristan Stubbs also made a notable contribution at no. 6 with a solid 34 runs.
Mitchell Starc, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav along with the entire DC bowling team will come under fire from SRH's batting lineup. Sunrisers were at their absolute best in the opening game of the season, scoring 286 with Ishan Kishan completely stealing the show with his 106 runs off 47 balls.
The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium pitch tends to be flat which means it would be easier for better to score. In fact, the LSG and DC match prior to this one saw both teams scoring a whopping total of 420 runs combined. Therefore, if teams win the toss, they should definitely bat first.
Saturday seems to be clear for Visakhapatnam with the daytime seeing temperatures of 33 degrees celsius while at nighttime the temperature dips to 26 degrees celsius. The windspeed would range from 15-30 km/h and the humidity wouldn't likely go past 85%.
Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: which team is winning the head-to-head matches?
