Get ready for an exciting match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The 34th match will take place on April 24 at 7:30 PM at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
David Warner, the former captain of SRH, will lead DC against his former team, which he guided to the title in 2016. However, DC has had a disappointing start to the season and desperately needs points. On the other hand, SRH must collect points consistently to keep their playoff hopes alive.
SRH has had a mixed start to the season, losing their opening match against RR but winning their next two matches against Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. Aiden Markram has been leading the team exceptionally well, with Harry Brook and Rahul Tripathi being the other key players in the squad. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s experience in the bowling department adds to SRH’s strength.
On the other hand, DC’s season has been marred by misfortune and underwhelming performances. The absence of Rishabh Pant has been a significant setback for the team, and Warner’s leadership has not produced desired results. However, DC has shown resilience in the past and has the potential to bounce back. The match against SRH presents a crucial opportunity for DC to turn their season around and make a strong comeback.
