IPL: Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Predictions
Delhi Capitals will face Kane Williamson’s Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 50 of Indian Premier League 2022.
The match will be held at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on 5th May.
Current form
In their last IPL match, Delhi suffered a six-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants, in a thriller.
Batting first, Lucknow made a total of 195 runs for 3 wickets in 20 overs.
In reply, Delhi could manage to reach a total of 189/7 in 20 overs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad were on a five-match winning spree, but CSK put a halt to their streak.
Led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK shred the pace battery of SRH and made them eat humble pie.
The only bright spots were captain Kane Williamson who hit 47 runs from 37 balls.
T.Natarajan was also impressive as he picked up another two wickets in the last game.
SRH will be eager to get back to winning ways against DC.
Head to Head record
Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad have played each other 20 times.
Delhi Capitals have emerged victorious in 9 games.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have won 11 games.
In the last 5 matches between DC and SRH, Delhi Capitals have won 3 matches.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have managed to win 2.
Delhi Capitals Likely Playing 11
Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya
Sunrisers Hyderabad Likely Playing 11
Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Shashank Singh, Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan
Players expected to shine
Kuldeep Yadav of Delhi Capitals is the second highest wicket-taker in IPL 2022 with 17 wickets from 9 games. He is in excellent form and is picking up wickets in every match.
Abhishek Sharma of SRH has been in prolific form this season firing the SunRisers Hyderabad to great starts in the powerplay.
He has scored 324 runs in his 9 games at an average of 36.
With scores of 39, 47 and 65 in his previous three games, he is looking in great touch and could repeat his batting exploits.
Mitchell Marsh hit three sixes for Delhi Capitals in his last appearance. He is a clean striker of the ball and can be the X factor for the Delhi side.
T Natarajan has evolved into a remarkable death ball specialist. He also enjoys the skipper’s confidence and perfectly complements Umran Malik’s pace. He is expected to be a star performer for SRH.
The Dave Warner factor
Warner was part of the victorious Australian team that won the last T20 World Cup.
Since that tournament where he was the leading run-getter, his T20 form has been sensational.
In IPL 2022, he has struck three half-centuries in the tournament and is averaging 44.00 from seven innings.
Moreover, he was sacked from captaincy by SRH in last year’s IPL and will be keen to prove a point to his former employers.
Who will win
The Delhi Capitals are sixth in the table with 4 wins and 5 defeats in their 9 games played so far.
On the other hand, the SunRisers Hyderabad lie fourth in the table with 5 wins and 4 defeats from their nine games.
So it’s a must win game for both.
SRH looks like a more well-settled team with the right blend of experience and youth.
Also, Kane Williamson has displayed better captaincy than Rishabh Pant, in the crunch moments.
Hence our prediction is that SRH will win.
Mohammad Rizwan has come under heavy fire for his performance during Pakistan’s loss to South Africa in a high-stakes match. Critics described his innings as lackluster, accusing him of playing a “shameless” and “criminal” knock that failed to meet the demands of the situation. His inability to accelerate scoring when required drew ire from fans and analysts alike, with many questioning his intent and decision-making under pressure.
While Rizwan’s cautious approach ensured some stability, it proved inadequate against South Africa’s aggressive game plan. His inability to shift gears in critical moments ultimately hurt Pakistan’s chances, and his performance sparked a broader debate about his role and strategy in the team’s batting order. Some commentators were particularly scathing, questioning how Rizwan could reflect on his effort given the circumstances.
The incident has added to the scrutiny of Pakistan’s overall performance in the tournament, with many demanding better strategies and execution from key players. Rizwan, regarded as a pivotal figure in the lineup, now faces the challenge of responding to the criticism and delivering under pressure in future matches.
The Nepal Premier League (NPL) witnessed dramatic turnarounds as Karnali Yaks secured their third consecutive victory and Lumbini Lions registered their maiden win. Karnali cruised to a seven-wicket win over Pokhara Avengers, powered by William Bosisto’s brilliant bowling performance, claiming 6 wickets for 28 runs. This victory places the Yaks in a strong position for playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Lumbini Lions finally ended their winless run by defeating Chitwan Rhinos by 33 runs. Rohit Paudel starred with an outstanding all-round performance, scoring 80 runs and taking 4 wickets for just 17 runs. The Lions’ bowlers complemented Paudel’s efforts, restricting the Rhinos and ensuring a much-needed morale boost.
Both results have shaken up the league standings as the tournament heads toward a tense conclusion. With Karnali firming their playoff prospects and Lumbini gaining momentum, fans can expect high-intensity action in the upcoming matches.
West Indies cricket legend Andy Roberts has lauded Mohammed Shami as India’s most skilled pacer, emphasizing his superiority in effectiveness and consistency over others, including Jasprit Bumrah. While acknowledging Bumrah’s ability to claim crucial wickets, Roberts expressed that Shami’s control, seam positioning, and adaptability under diverse conditions set him apart.
Roberts critiqued Mohammed Siraj, stating he has yet to reach the same level as Bumrah and Shami. He highlighted that Shami’s ability to relentlessly hit good lengths and extract movement makes him India’s standout bowler. He urged Indian cricket to focus more on nurturing such talent for long-term success in international cricket.
Roberts’ observations offer a fresh perspective on India’s pace attack dynamics, sparking debates among cricket fans worldwide.
