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

David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Delhi Capitals in match 47 of the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). The two sides will lock horns at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on October 27, 2020 (Tuesday) from 7:30 PM (IST) onwards.

Last time when these two teams met, Sunrisers Hyderabad clinched a close victory at Abu Dhabi. Since then, the table turned upside down as DC is currently placed at the second spot and SRH holds the seventh position in the charts.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

With just four wins in 11 matches, David Warner and co have eight points in their kitty. With many teams above them facing for the playoffs berth, it’s almost impossible for the Hyderabad-based franchise to enter the next stage.

Moreover, Sunrisers suffered a shameful defeat in their last game against Kings XI Punjab. They failed to chase down a comparatively easy target of 127 during that encounter. Though, they might take the field with the same playing in their clash against DC.

Delhi Capitals (DC)

Delhi Capitals were looking like one of the strongest teams at one stage of the tournament. But defeats in the last two encounters have revealed several loopholes in their batting unit. Opener Shikhar Dhawan has scored a big chunk of their total runs from the previous few matches. 

With seven wins in 11 matches, the Delhi-based franchise looks comfortable to reach the playoffs. But they need a victory in this game to find the lost momentum before the next stage’s games.
