SRH vs DC Match Prediction - Apr 14, 2019

The last week in the Indian Premier League has been a bumpy ride for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Not long ago, they were flying high after a bright start at the second spot in the points table. However, such has been the turn of events that they've considerably slowed down and will be looking to regain steam as they face Delhi Capitals, who are now at the second spot in the points table. It just demonstrates how competitive IPL can be that the two teams have interchanged their position. The two teams are set to meet at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday, 14th April. While Hyderabad are clearly ahead if we compare the two teams head-to-head, but they are coming off two back to back losses which makes this contest a perfect candidate of a thrilling encounter.

SRH vs DC Team Previews

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad started off the tournament in a brilliant fashion, but soon lost steam primarily due to the two major reasons. One - the absence of their regular skipper Kane Williamson has hurt them in both batting and captaincy. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar hasn't been a bad captain, he has lacked taking the tactical and strategic decisions which we have seen with Kane Williamson so often.

The other reason has been their underperforming middle order. The middle-order consisting of Vijay Shankar, Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Mohammad Nabi looked demolishing when the tournament started. However, Vijay Shankar hasn't been able to convert his starts and probably number three is one position too high to bat for him. Manish Pandey, Yusuf Pathan, and Deepak Hooda have all lacked the will to stay in the middle which has led to SRH losing way in the middle overs.

Bowling-wise, things aren't as bad looking for the Sunrisers. Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshvar Kumar, and Sandeep Sharma have done exceedingly well in the tournament thus far. However, they haven't been able to keep their nerve during the death overs resulting in leakage of too many runs. All in all, Sunrisers Hyderabad are the prime example of the difference one man can make. Kane Williamson was the leading run-scorer last year and arguably the backbone of SRH lineup. It is still uncertain whether he will be a part of the lineup in the upcoming match and if he is, SRH won't be as easy to get past as they've been in their last two matches.

Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals displayed an extraordinary display with both bat and ball as they punished Kolkata Knight Riders to garner a much-needed win just a day ago. The biggest positive for Delhi Capitals was Shikhar Dhawan's return to form. Dhawan played a crucial knock to nail down a tall total and considering his habit of continuing racking up runs when in good form, things aren't going to be easy for SRH bowlers.

Delhi Capitals have now registered back to back victories, one against Royal Challengers Bangalore and the other one over Kolkata Knight Riders, both of which should have imbibed plenty of confidence among the players.

Earlier in the tournament, Delhi Capitals often struggled at the top - either due to sluggish starts or losing too many wickets in the first half, but with Dhawan and Iyer back amongst the runs in the last two matches respectively, their batting order looks solid than ever.

On paper, Delhi Capitals have arguably the best bowling lineup in the competition. The likes of Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, and Chris Morris are more than capable to derail any team off their plans early on while Rahul Tewatia, Axar Patel, and Sandeep Lamichhane have bowled beautifully up until the tournament so far. With momentum and a pretty settled lineup, Overall, Delhi Capitals look as good as any side in the tournament.

SRH vs DC Dream11 Prediction

Jonny Bairstow has been in stupendous form and comes onto bat at a higher position as compared to the other wicket-keeper in contention, Rishabh Pant, and is, therefore, our preferred pick for the wicket-keeper slot.

Picking up batsmen wasn't really too tricky, barring the omission of Prithvi Shaw who has been extremely inconsistent at the top. We have decided to keep him out and pick an additional player in the all-rounders' department.

Shikhar Dhawan plays spin pretty well and so do a couple of other SRH batsmen and therefore we haven't picked a spinner in our lineup. Check out our complete Dream11 team below:

In the thirteen meetings between the two sides, Hyderabad have emerged on the top nine times with Delhi taking the honors only on four occasions. Having said that, this is a new and changed Delhi side and have the momentum which can be crucial in this format. Sunrisers Hyderabad appear to be struggling with their middle order and the death bowling, which appears to be single-dimensional. While SRH have the home advantage, Delhi Capitals look slightly better placed to emerge on top in the upcoming encounter considering the recent form and the teams on paper.
