Delhi Capitals, who are in a very comfortable position in points table, will be facing SunRisers Hyderabad who have been placed at bottom of the points table. For SRH it will be a do or die situation as one more loss will mathematically push them out of playoff race. Meanwhile Delhi Capitals will look to get back to top of the points table with a win.
Notably, David Warner got sacked from SRH's captaincy in the first phase of IPL 2021. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant will continue to lead Delhi Capitals despite the return of regular skipper Shreyas Iyer in the team. When these two teams met the last time, it featured a roller-coaster ride with Delhi ending on a winning note in the Super Over.
