IPL 2020 Playoffs: Qualifier 2 – Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Preview, Probable XI, Head-to-Head and Fantasy 11

Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns for the second spot in the finals of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. The two sides will be up against each other during the qualifier two on November 8 (Sunday). The Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi will host this game from 7:30 PM (IST) onwards. 

The winner of DC-SRH clash will advance to the finals of IPL 2020 to face Mumbai Indians for the title. Interestingly, the Sunrisers emerged victorious during both the encounters between the two sides this season.  

Delhi Capitals (DC)

Delhi Capitals played brilliant cricket during the first half of the tournament, registering seven wins in nine matches. Following this, the Delhi-based franchise could only manage to win a solitary game in their next six encounters. Meanwhile, they also lost a one-sided clash against Mumbai Indians in the qualifier one. 

DC has several problems in front of them while going to this knockout game. One of the biggest concerns for them is their misfiring batting from the top-order. Delhi’s players need to put some runs on the board for their side in this all-important match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

Sunrisers Hyderabad is coming to this game with positive momentum after registering consecutive victories in their last four matches. Moreover, they also clinched a nail-biting win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the eliminator game.

SRH have a much balanced and an in-form playing XI than the Capitals. Moreover, their record against Delhi in this IPL edition gives them an upper hand in the penultimate game of the season. Wriddhiman Saha might comeback for Sreevats Goswami if he has recovered from the injury.
