Delhi Capitals eye their first-ever finals appearance

Talking about Delhi Capitals, they have played some consistent cricket to make their first appearance in the playoffs after 2012. Delhi Capitals shed their tag of ‘underachievers’ to emerge as the best travellers of this season. They won five of their seven matches away and head for the Eliminator with lifted confidence. Both the teams have met once in the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, where DD had won against the SRH.

Both the sides miss their key players, it is going to be a well-matched encounter: Shreyas Iyer

“We will take confidence from our win against them in Hyderabad. They also beat us in Delhi, so we are expecting a tough match. However, they are also missing some of their players, and we are also without Kagiso. It is going to be a difficult task as well.”

Fantasy Picks Sunrisers Hyderabad

• Wriddhminan Saha has given his teams brisk starts in the three innings that he has opened. He has scored 73 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 187.17.
• Since the pitch assists the bowlers, Rashid Khan can work magic in the game.
• Kane Williamson returned to form as he scored 70* off 43 balls against RCB. He will aim to carry his form forward.

Delhi Capitals Fantasy Picks

• Dhawan took his time to get off the blocks this season but he is enjoying a great season. With 486 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 137.28, Dhawan is enjoying his purple patch. Dhawan sits atop the powerplay strike rate chart with 173 runs per 100 balls.

Dhawan’s Form in the second half of the season

• Ishant Sharma has taken 10 wickets in 11 matches with an economy of 7.65. After last year’s IPL snub, Sharma emerged as one of the best powerplay bowlers.

Most Wickets in Powerplay this season

• Amit Mishra is one of the highest wicket-takers against Sunrisers Hyderabad as he has taken 9 scalps against SRH. He has also remained one of the most economical spinners for Delhi Capitals with an economy rate of 6.33.
