DC vs SRH Team Preview & Squads 

Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals began their IPL 2025 campaign with a thrilling last-over victory against Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam. Chasing 210, they found themselves in deep trouble at 113-6 in 12.3 overs. However, a remarkable rescue effort from Ashutosh Sharma (66* off 31) and youngster Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15) guided them home with just one wicket to spare.

Heading into their next match, Delhi will be hoping for a stronger performance from their top and middle order. Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, and Abishek Porel failed to make an impact in the opening game and will need to step up. While du Plessis has the experience to anchor an innings, McGurk remains a high-risk, high-reward player—capable of either a blazing cameo or an early dismissal.

A major boost for Delhi will be the expected return of KL Rahul, whose presence adds much-needed stability to an otherwise fragile batting lineup. Meanwhile, Ashutosh Sharma will look to continue his role as a dependable finisher after his match-winning knock.

On the bowling front, Delhi will rely on Mitchell Starc to make early inroads during the powerplay. If he struggles, the onus will fall on Mohit Sharma and Mukesh Kumar, who could find it difficult to contain SRH’s batters. Kuldeep Yadav’s wrist spin remains a crucial weapon, as his ability to break partnerships in the middle overs could prove pivotal in shifting momentum in DC’s favor.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad started their IPL 2025 campaign with a dominant win over the Rajasthan Royals, but their momentum was abruptly halted by a surprising defeat to a depleted Lucknow Super Giants side. Batting first on a favorable Hyderabad pitch, SRH could only muster 190-9, a target LSG chased down comfortably in just 16.1 overs.

Travis Head (47 off 28) was the only batter to find his rhythm, while the rest faltered, losing wickets rapidly in an attempt to attack every ball. This aggressive batting approach is SRH’s biggest strength when it clicks, but it also makes them vulnerable to collapses when the top order fails.

Abhishek Sharma will be a key player for SRH—if he survives the initial overs, he has the firepower to turn the game on its head. Heinrich Klaasen, who was unfortunate to be run out in the previous match, looks set for a big inning and will be crucial in the middle order.

Bowling remains SRH’s biggest concern. Simarjeet Singh has been expensive in the powerplay, while Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins have picked up wickets but struggled with economy. Adam Zampa, usually dependable, has been inconsistent with his lengths and has leaked runs. If these issues persist, SRH’s bowling could once again be their downfall.

Batting first would be the preferable option for both teams in this afternoon match.

In the day, the temperature will be hot and muggy, but in the evening, it will somewhat cool down. Since rain is not predicted, the game will be played to the end. 

With the ball staying low and making it harder for hitters to score runs in the second inning, this pitch tends to benefit spinners.
