The Delhi Daredevils will hope home comforts bring them better results when they host the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2017 at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Tuesday.
After losing three away matches in a row, the Daredevils will bank on their home crowd giving them the lift they desperately need as they seek a way out of the bottom of the IPL 2017 points table.
However, with SRH in really good form at the moment, beating them won't be an easy task.
Here is a look at how DD vs SRH could go.
If Delhi Daredevils bat first:
Sanju Samson and Sam Billings, after the last game disaster, start a lot better. Indeed, so well that they remain unbeaten in the Powerplay.
However, once the Powerplay overs are done, Samson, Billings and Karun Nair all fall in the space of four overs, leaving the Delhi Daredevils in trouble again.
Marlon Samuels, making his DD debut, comes in and rescues his new team by putting on an impressive partnership with Shreyas Iyer. The two add 72 runs together, and with some sixes from Chris Morris and Rishabh Pant, the Delhi Daredevils are able to make 174.

David Warner is in the reverse-sweep, switch-hit, pull and cut mood again and the Delhi Daredevils bowlers, apart from Kagiso Rabada, who is economical, are unable to do much to stop the brilliant Australian.
Shikhar Dhawan plays second fiddle again, but takes over when Warner is dismissed by Amit Mishra in over number nine.
Thanks to Warner's knock, the SRH chase is under control, even more so with Kane Williamson coming in and adding that sense of calm to the proceedings.
The Daredevils bowlers are unable to find the wickets they need and SRH are able to scamper home.
If Sunrisers Hyderabad bat first:
Warner and Dhawan put on 44 together, before the latter falls to Shahbaz Nadeem, who is reluctantly brought in against the left-handers, but strikes in his first over.
Williamson comes in, but for once, is unable to put up a big score. Moises Henriques then falls after a decent 24, leaving Warner and Yuvraj Singh to stay together for a partnership.
They do just that, and quite brilliantly as well to take the SRH total to 182.
The Delhi Daredevils chase doesn't begin too well as Samson goes early.
However, Billings and Karun put on a half-century partnership to keep DD's hopes alive in the chase.
Marlon Samuels then comes in and bashes a few, after taking a little while to settle in, and while Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Chris Morris all play cameos, no-one is able to take DD over the line, giving SRH their seventh win of IPL 2017.
