Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad will face each other in the 50th match of IPL 2022 on Thursday at the Brabourne Stadium. DC have won 4 out of 9 matches and are placed in the 7th position with 8 points. A win in this match will help them jump up to the 5th position. They lost the previous match against Lucknow Super Giants by a mere margin of 6 runs after failing to chase a target of 196 runs.
Both the openers were dismissed for a single-digit score in that match and DC would be hoping for a better performance from them. The middle-order has done the maximum scoring for DC in the last couple of matches which is a positive sign for the Rishabh Pant-led side. A better performance would be expected from the bowling unit as well.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, are placed in the fifth position currently with 5 wins from 9 matches. They have lost the previous 2 matches and would be looking to make a comeback. The bowlers gave away 202 runs in the last game against Chennai Super Kings, and apart from T Natarajan, no other bowler could pick a wicket.
Pitch Report:
Both DC and SRH have not lost a single game at the Brabourne this season and would be looking to maintain this record. DC's 3 out of 4 wins have come at this very ground. This might be a high-scoring game considering the fact that the surface offers a lot to the batters. However, it would be tough for batters to score runs initially as pacers might dictate that phase.
Head to head: Both teams faced each other in 20 IPL matches, while SRH won 11 and DC won 9.
