The Sunrisers Hyderabad have come a long way in the 2020 Indian Premier League. Their journey into the tournament was nothing short of a roller coaster ride. And now, they are just one step away from the end of the season. On Sunday night, they will meet the Delhi Capitals in the second qualifying round at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.
Despite beating RCB in the tie, David Warner & Co are on the brink as victory is the only option for them. To take down a wounded DC, they must make a commander in the higher order.

Here is SRH’s predicted XI against Delhi Capitals: –
1. David Warner: Warner’s leadership has been pure gold this season. In addition, his performance with the bat is the key to a good start.
2. Wriddhiman Saha: His physical condition will be a major concern for the Orange Army. Shreevats Goswami replaced him in the tie but did not score anything with the bat. Saha’s return can pose a huge threat to DC players.
3. Manish Pandey: Pandey has been a reliable hitter for SRH. Everything you need to shoot in the big game.
4. Kane Williamson: The Kiwi cricketer wrote the victory for SRH in the tie. It is a massive support system in the middle order that is well versed in dealing with critical situations.
5. Priyam Garg: The team management has shown enough faith in Priyam Garg. Now is the time for recovery. The youngster has shown his fielding skills, but he also needs to contribute with the bat.
6. Abdul Samad: One of the reliable players in the middle order. His comprehensive capabilities make him a strong contender in SRH’s lineup.
7. Jason Holder: Holder has been impressing everyone around him since joining the SRH lineup. Whether with the ball or the bat, this man is an outright winner.
8. Rashid Khan: SRh’s lineup is incomplete without this Afghan revolver. It’s one of the positives of SRH that you can turn out to be a match winner at any time.
9. Sandeep Sharma: The leader of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sandeep has filled the void after leaving Bhuvneshwar. He’s consistent and between terrains – everything SRH wants from their leading sprinter.
10. T Natarajan: Natarajan has proven himself with his deadly Yorkers and brilliant death bowling. His role will be crucial in Qualifier 2 against Delhi Capitals.
11. Shabaz Nadeem: The left arm spinner has mastered the art of putting opponents under pressure in the middle. All it takes is one good change to boost your team’s momentum.
SRH predicted XI against MI: David Warner (c), Wriddhiman Saha (week), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan
