SRH Playing 11 vs DC 

Despite having a line-up packed with experienced internationals, Sunrisers Hyderabad have failed to find consistency this season. Their latest defeat—a 38-run loss to Gujarat Titans—pushed them closer to playoff elimination. Pat Cummins has led the side with intensity, but the bowling, especially at the death, has let them down repeatedly. Mohammed Shami and Jaydev Unadkat haven’t had the expected impact, and Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen’s fireworks with the bat have been too sporadic. Unadkat recently pointed to changing pitch conditions and ineffective bowling as key reasons for the team’s struggles in what has become a forgettable campaign.

DC Playing 11 vs SRH 

Delhi Capitals are walking a fine line between contention and collapse. Their away form has kept playoff hopes alive, but back-to-back home defeats have exposed cracks. Skipper Axar Patel's fitness is a major concern after injuring his hand against KKR. Though he batted bravely for a quick 43, his ability to bowl remains uncertain. KL Rahul continues to lead with the bat but has struggled to maintain a high strike rate. Faf du Plessis’s recent half-century was encouraging, while Abishek Porel has shown promise at the top. With Mitchell Starc, Mukesh Kumar, and Chameera in form, DC's bowling remains their key weapon.
