DC vs SRH Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match? Dream11 IPL 2020, Qualifier 2

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might have had their stutters, but of late, they are on a role. After decimating table-toppers Mumbai Indians (MI) by 10 wickets in their last league game, David Warner and Co knocked Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) out, winning the Eliminator by six wickets after being asked to chase down 132.

It goes without saying the Sunrisers have peaked at the apt time. The Orange Army would be in for another must-win game, this time against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Qualifier 2 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, November 8.

Prior to the game, SRH can take heart from the fact that they defeated Shreyas Iyer and Co both times in the league stage. The Capitals, on the other hand, would be looking to make amends after their 57-run loss to Mumbai.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch in Abu Dhabi was slow the other night. If it turns out that way, then the spinners must be licking their fingers. Run-making won’t be impossible, but the batters will have to put their heads down.

Chasing should be the way forward for the teams. The playing conditions will be cool with the temperature around 30 degrees Celsius. The humidity will be in the 50s with dew to play a part.

Probable Top Performers for DC vs SRH

Rashid Khan– Sunrisers Hyderabad

Rashid Khan has tormented the Capitals’ batters thus far in the tournament. In two games, he has had figures of 8-0-21-6 at an economy rate of 2.62. Needless to say, the DC batters have found the SRH spinner a tough nut to crack.

Overall, in 15 games, the Afghanistan spinner has 19 wickets to show for his efforts. Like the DC batsmen, even the other sides have found it difficult while facing him.

Shreyas Iyer– Delhi Capitals

Shreyas Iyer is someone, a team can depend on without many fears. He knows the art of playing at different gears. In the ongoing edition, the youngster has 433 runs at an average and strike-rate of 30.92 and 123.36 respectively.

The Capitals’ batting has shown signs of inconsistency and Iyer can’t afford to let his guard down. The SRH bowling is in excellent form and Iyer will be in for a challenging task.
