DC vs SRH, IPL 2023, Match 40 Preview
Both teams right now languish at the bottom of the points table, having only 2 victories from 7 matches played so far. With only a marginal difference of net run rate keeping SRH above DC, it will be interesting to see who emerges triumphant in this clash of two bottom-dwellers.
While Delhi have momentum in their favour, having collected two wins consecutively (albeit by small margins), Hyderabad have lost three on the trot, and are still searching for solutions to many gaping holes in their playing XIs.
DC vs SRH Head-to-head Record
SRH and DC have faced each other 22 times in the IPL, and both have won 11 each. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Delhi beat Hyderabad by 7 runs to level their head-to-head match-up. Each team will be looking to get one up on the other.
DC vs SRH, IPL 2023, Match 40 Weather Report
Temperatures are expected to be in the early 30s, and a light shower occasionally. There is a 20% chance of precipitation, and if it does rain, the dampness in the pitch could again bring the spinners to the fore. Defending would be the preferred choice, with both SRH and DC clearly having batting issues.
DC vs SRH, IPL 2023, Match 40 Pitch Report
The pitch in Delhi has been a bit inconsistent in its bounce, with the ball gripping a little bit. Spin has played a dominant role in the three games so far, while there has not been any sign of dew.
Average 1st Innings Score
154 has been the average first innings score at this venue in three matches.
Record of Chasing Teams
All three games here so far have been won by the chasing side. The trend, however, might not continue as both teams have a batting line-up terribly out of arm.
DC vs SRH, IPL 2023, Match 40 Injury Update / Players Availability
SunRisers Hyderabad
Washington Sundar’s hamstring injury, that ruled him out of the remainder of the season, comes as a big blow to the orange army as Sundar was starting to find his form with the ball. Abdul Samad could get a look in as SRH could boost their batting depth with a specialist finisher, and Samad fits the role.
Rahul Tripathi is expected to play the role of impact player.
Delhi Capitals
Despite the batting line-up misfiring, Ponting mentioned that he wanted to give his batters a longer run. Delhi are expected to retain the XI that won them their last match.
Mukesh Kumar is expected to again play the impact player role, like he did brilliantly in the previous match.
