Team Previews
Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview (SRH)
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s 2025 campaign has struggled to take off, with just three wins in ten matches placing them near the bottom. With only six points, they need to win all remaining games and hope for favorable results elsewhere. Their NRR of -1.192 further complicates things. In short, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals prediction leans against SRH unless they spark an unexpected revival.
Batting has been a mixed bag. Abhishek Sharma’s explosive knocks—like his 74 off 41 vs GT—have offered some hope, while Travis Head’s continued failures have hurt early momentum. Klaasen and Kishan in the middle order haven’t delivered consistently either, but they possess the potential to turn a match on its head.
The bowling unit has lacked sting. Shami’s economy rate of over 11 is alarming. Cummins has struggled to take key wickets. Harshal Patel, however, has been effective, especially in middle overs. Zeeshan Ansari and Jaydev Unadkat have added control in patches.
With playoffs hopes faint, expect SRH to play with freedom. The Hyderabad surface might help their batters click—especially if Head finds form.
Delhi Capitals Preview (DC)
Delhi Capitals started IPL 2025 with five wins in their first six but have faltered since, now at 12 points from 10 matches. This SRH vs DC encounter is critical to stay in playoff contention. DC’s recent form—three losses in their last four—is a cause for concern.
KL Rahul has led the batting charge, scoring 371 runs in 9 innings at a 146 SR. Faf du Plessis’s return has brought calm to the top order, and Porel has provided solid support. Axar Patel, now captain, has contributed both with bat and ball. His injury scare last match could be a game-changer, but early reports suggest he’ll be fit to play.
Tristan Stubbs has been explosive at the death, with 218 runs at a strike rate of 161.48. Kuldeep Yadav has tightened the middle overs, while Starc continues to strike, even if a bit expensive.
With a good blend of youth and experience, and a desperate need to bounce back, DC might have the upper hand in this matchup.
