The table toppers Delhi Capitals will lock horns with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 11th match of the IPL 2020. Delhi Capitals under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer and coaching of the Australian legend Ricky Pointing have been doing a great job and are yet to taste defeat this season. SRH on the other side have been struggling to get past the line and with their injury woes to key players like Kane Williamson and Mitchell Marsh has only made things worse for them.
Delhi Capitals after a very close finish in their first match against KXIP, which they won in the super over made a much lighter work against the CSK. The score of 175 seemed not enough against the standards of CSK but the batsmen of CSK failed once again making it two times in a row. Delhi Capitals will be looking to continue their reign at the top of the table.
The SRH team are having an uncharacteristic IPL season as they are usually in better position. The team has been struggling with both injuries and form issues of the players. The main headache for the 2016 title winners is the form of their captain David Warner and injury concern of the star middle-order batsman Kane Williamson. The middle-order seems to be in disarray even after the addition of Mohammad Nabi.
Can the Bottom Dwellers finally bounce back and open their account? Or will the table toppers continue their prime form and make it three in three?
