IPL 2020 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals, Latest Updates IPL 2020 Live Score: FOUR! Warner gets another limit, this time against Axar in the seventh. So fierce has the Hyderabad attack been that DC took time out prematurely.
Advance:
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 47 of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) in Dubai on October 27. DC is number two on the points table with 7 wins from 11 games, while SRH is number 7 with 7 losses from the same number of games. SRH beat DC by 15 runs when the two teams met for the first time at the 2020 IPL in Abu Dhabi. Ace spinner Rashid Khan was the star of SRH, coming back 3-14 in 4 overs pocketing the wickets of Dhawan, Iyer and Pant. DC, chasing 163, was restricted to 147 for 7.
SRH have lost 4 of their last 5 matches and are therefore on the brink of being eliminated from the tournament. They need to win the remaining three games and also hope that other results will go well if they want to make the playoffs. SRH needs his hitting to shoot. They retired by 114 chasing 127 against Kings XI in their last meeting. Jonny Bairstow hasn’t been able to produce a great performance in the last 5 games and it must be good for SRH. The low-middle order – the likes of Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad and Jason Holder need to create the cameos to take some pressure off Manish Pandey. Rashid Khan will be the trump card with the ball in the middle; it is expected to provide crucial breakthroughs while restraining opposing hitters. He has chosen 14 fields from 11 games so far. Holder will bring some control and discipline and will support Sandeep Sharma and T Natarajan.
DC have lost their last games, against KKR and KXIP, and will be looking to regain control and momentum. They are one victory away from the playoffs, so they don’t need undue pressure. Prithvi Shaw fell to KKR after a series of low scores – he had started the tournament with three winning performances, but lost steam thereafter. But with his replacement, Ajinkya Rahane also registering a duck against KKR, Shaw could be called up to the XI. The middle order appears to be settled, although DC is still awaiting a special from Rishabh Pant at IPL 2020. The bowling alley will be led by Kagiso Rabada, the tournament’s leading wicket taker. The South African is well ahead of the group with 23 pitches from 11 games. Axar Patel has been brilliantly restrictive with an economy rate of just 5.78 in the competition.
