The match 30 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 will be going to take place between SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Sunday, April 14.
While SRH will look to come back strongly after losing their last game to Punjab, DC will be riding high on confidence after being Kolkata at the Eden Gardens on Friday.
It is believed that regular skipper Kane Williamson will be back in the SRH line-up and that will help strengthen the batting which has depended heavily on the duo of Jonny Bairstow and David Warner at the top.
For Delhi, it was an important game to win as they beat Kolkata chasing a tricky score of 178. More than the win, it was the convincing manner in which Shikhar Dhawan (97*) and Rishabh Pant (46) batted that will give the likes of head coach Ricky Ponting and advisor Sourav Ganguly confidence.
The temperatures will be on the lower side with the numbers hovering between 29 and 33 degree Celsius during match-time. The humidity won’t be high, though. A fair amount of cloud cover will be there, but it isn’t expected to affect the match as of now. Dew isn’t unlikely to play much of a part.
Kane Williamson and Khaleel Ahmed are fit to play the match as confirmed by Tom Moody.
