Two of the most contrasting teams now square off against each other. Hyderabad is renowned for its bowling masterclass while Delhi’s young batting is making the bowlers shiver. Also, SRH finds itself at the top of the points table, Delhi Daredevils are lying near to the bottom of the table. Delhi’s campaign is more about salvaging the respect and Hyderabad will be looking to keep up the domination. Here is how the playing XI shape up.

Delhi Daredevils

DD is on the last spot in the IPL points tally. Of the Ten matches that they have played so far, Delhi has managed to win only three and have lost seven. Their last match was against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Hyderabad which they lost.

In the last match against SRh, Delhi batted incredibly well in the first 10 overs and then lost the initiative. They could not post a big enough total and with Dhawan-Hales going strong, DD lost the match by a huge margin.

The changes for Delhi in the last match were Daniel Christian in place of Colin Munro and Naman Ojha in place of Shahbaz Nadeem. With hardly any life remaining the campaign DD may drop these two and bring in fresh players.

SRH have tremendous in the season with their bowling firing consistently. The combination of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddarth Kaul, Sandeep Sharma, Rashid Khan and Shakib Al Hasan is finishing the jobs. They have been using these five bowlers to extremely well.

They are almost in the playoffs and only official approval is pending. In the last match against RCB, they managed to defend a 150-below total and salvaged the match when RCB needed only 25 from the last 3 overs.

In the last match, SRH went unchanged against Bangalore. Only one spot is a worry for them which is that of Manish Pandey. he has struggled terribly this season and should be rested. It will be interesting to see what SRH does with him.
