Two teams that are placed at two separate halves of the IPL points table will do battle against each other in Match No.20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 3rd placed Delhi Capitals side will take on the 6th placed Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side on 25th April 2021.

The Delhi Capitals (DC) have experienced a good start to their 2021 IPL campaign. The Rishabh Pant-led side has won 3 out of the 4 matches that they have played in this tournament and have been clinical in all departments of the game. In their previous rubber against the Mumbai Indians (MI), they managed to beat the Rohit Sharma led side with 6 wickets to spare.

Also, Shikhar Dhawan has been in scintillating form for the Delhi side this season. A seasoned campaigner, Dhawan has batted according to the situation his team has found itself in and has played a key role with the willow in every victory for the Delhi Capitals this season. Needless to say, the Sunrisers Hyderabad side has to see the back of Dhawan early, else they could be in for some trouble.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) finally managed to post a win in their previous encounter to open their account in the 14th edition of the IPL. The David Warner-led side thrashed the Punjab Kings (PBKS) outfit with 9 wickets to spare. While Khaleel Ahmed put the brakes on the KL Rahul led side by scalping 3 wickets with the ball, Jonny Bairstow emerged as the star performer with the willow and scored a classy 63* for the ‘Orange Army’.

This will also be the last match that will take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in the 2021 edition of the IPL. Both the teams will look to post a win. Will the sun shine brightly in the direction of the Sunrisers Hyderabad side, or will the Delhi Capitals make it a hat trick of victories?

Pitch and Conditions

Run scoring has surely been challenging at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The ball has stopped on the willow wielders, and the batsmen need to spend some time on this surface for sure. Expect a balanced contest between bat and ball.
