Both Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Delhi Daredevils have only one wins from their last three matches. If the hosts Hyderabad depend a lot on their openers – their captain David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan to fire at the top of the order, the Delhi team is banking on their balanced batting order.
At least, their middle-order is sorted out and can give a run for money to any good team in the league. Also, both the teams have several weak-links, which were on display during their previous encounters.
On a Vishakhapatnam pitch that isn’t best not suited for T20 cricket right now, the team batting first can make most of the situation. However, the Hyderabad team couldn’t use the advantage of batting first against the Rajasthan Royals on Thursday night.
The Sunrisers lost control of their innings and lost their openers quickly. They eventually had to bow down to the consistency of the Royals. Comparatively, the Daredevils are mentally well placed for the match.
Fresh after a win against the Kings XI Punjab, this team will be looking to enhance their lead in the competition. All put together, it’s going to be interesting to battle of two very promising teams in the league.
