Delhi Capitals will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in their third match of IPL 2020 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight.
Delhi Capitals with back to back wins have kicked off their campaign in a style and will look to clinch their third consecutive win of the season. In the last match, their batsmen, as well as bowlers, put up a good performance. Prithvi Shaw and Dhawan gave a good start and they will aim to repeat it while Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer, and Marcus Stoinis need to do the job in middle and death overs. In the bowling Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, and Axar Patel have done well so far and if R Ashwin comes then it will boost their confidence further.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad after two back-to-back losses is under pressure and needs a win in this match to bring their campaign on track. Captain Warner and Bairstow have to give a solid start and the likes of Manish Pandey, Wriddhiman Saha, and Mohammad Nabi have to score runs on a good strike rate else they might finish with a below-par score like the last match.
And someone like Abhishek Sharma, Rashid Khan, or Priyam Garg should be promoted in the batting, and in bowling Bhuvneshwar Kumar needs to take wickets with the new ball and Rashid Khan need to be more attacking in the middle overs.
