A quick recap of what’s at stake today for SRH and DC!

SRH: Today is the litmust test for Sunrisers Hyderabad. SRH will become 2nd team in the IPL 2020 to be eliminated if they fail to win against the Delhi Capitals.

DC: If the Capitals win tonight, they move to 16 points. Five teams could still reach that tally, but given the KKR’s poor net run rate, the Capitals should be a reasonably safe bet for a playoff spot if they get to 16.

7.07pm
DC Playing XI

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Tushar Deshpande

7pm
Toss Results!

DC wins toss and opts to bowl first

6.27pm
Shikhar Dhawan in need of a consistent partner

The most disturbing part about Delhi Capitals has been Shikhar Dhawan’s opening partners in the last 4 matches. Prithvi Shaw (3 matches) and Ajinkya Rahane (1 match) have added just 7 runs to the team totals in the last 4 matches. 3 times in the last 4 matches Shikhar Dhawan’s opening partner has been dismissed without scoring.

6pm
We are exactly one hour away from toss!

Pitch Conditions: The pitches have slowed down in Dubai considerably as witnessed in the recent games. Both teams would be inclined to bat first on this surface. SRH in particular would want that after the failure to chase down a moderate total last time.

5.54pm
Milestone Alert!

-Manish Pandey needs 62 runs to complete 1000 IPL runs for SRH.
-David Warner requires 9 sixes to complete 200 IPL sixes.
-Rishabh Pant needs 47 runs to complete 2000 IPL runs.
-Shikhar Dhawan requires 29 runs to complete 500 runs in this IPL season.

5.37pm
Will Prithvi Shaw be back in place of Ajinkya Rahane?

Shikhar Dhawan, who has scored 471 runs in 11 games this season, has not been getting the ideal support from the other end while opening the batting. Ajinkya Rahane, who was brought in for an out of form Prithvi Shaw against KKR in their last match managed to score a Golden Duck.

Rahane has played 4 matches this season scoring juust 25 runs at a poor average of 6.25 and once again could be replaced by Prithvi Shaw tonight.

5.25pm
It’s David Warner’s birthday today; will we see a special innings on his special night?

David Warner has been a fantabulous batsman in IPL and this edition has been no different. Warner hit two half centuries in IPL 2020 and will be hoping to get more. He is also currently within the Top 10 batsman in the Orange Cap race, currently occupying the 9th spot with 370 runs.

Warner, in the ongoing edition also etched his name on the record books by becoming the first player in the history of the Indian Premier League to register 50 fifty-plus scores. Warner scored 52 against Kings XI Punjab to get to the milestone in Abu Dhabi.

4.59pm
SRH vs DC Head to Head Stats- Who currently has the edge?

Both the teams have met 16 times out of which Hyderabad have won 10 games. In their last game at Abu Dhabi, SRH beat DC by 15 runs. The win-loss record of SRH vs DC is 3-2 in David Warner’s favour.

Can SRH keep themselves alive in the IPL 2020 Playoffs race?

Today is the litmust test for Sunrisers Hyderabad. SRH will become 2nd team in the IPL 2020 to be eliminated, if they fail to win against the Delhi Capitals. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Currently 7th, Played 11, Points 8. They need to win all 3 remaining games. One slip up they will be out. Even if they win 3 they will be dependent on others for qualification. Remaining matches: vs Delhi Capitals (October 27), Royal Challengers (October 31), Mumbai (November 3) Chances : Very Less

4.15pm
How things stand so far!

Two back-to-back defeats against Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab must be hurting but DC needs to shrug it off and add two points to take their tally to 16, which will elevate them to the top of the table.

On the other hand, Sunrisers’ hopes to reach the playoffs are hanging by a thread. David Warner and his men occupy the penultimate spot with eight points from 11 outings.

3.53pm
Can DC become first team to secure playoffs berth? Check out the possible scenarios

Delhi Capitals: Position on points table: 2nd, Played 11, Points 14

  • The Delhi Capitals are coming into this game with two consecutive losses, against the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Kings XI Punjab.
  • If the Capitals win on Tuesday, they move to 16 points. Five teams could still reach that tally, but given the KKR’s poor net run rate, the Capitals should be a reasonably safe bet for a playoff spot if they get to 16.
  • If the Capitals lose they would be a bit worried since their last two games are against the Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. If the Capitals lose their last three games by 20 runs, their NRR will come down to 0.125 and then even Kings XI can go past them.
