Head-to-Head Record between DC and SRH
The DC team led by Rishabh Pant has also made a comeback, winning two straight games to move up to the sixth spot in the standings.
The former champions Sunrisers Hyderabad will square off against the home team Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday after shattering their own record of the highest score this season. The team captained by Rishabh Pant has also made a comeback, rising to sixth place in the rankings after winning two straight games.
The Orange Army crushed their own 277-run total record to place an incredible 287 target on the board during their tantalizing matchup with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday. Travis Head, the opener for the South Africa Royals, brought back memories of his World Cup final knock with a stunning 102 runs off only 41 deliveries, which featured 8 sixes and 9 fours.
Heinrich Klassen then unleashed his devastating performance, scoring 67 runs off just 21 balls and 7 sixes, putting SRH in a strong position to challenge their own record. Despite a comeback by Dinesh Kartik and Faf Du Plessis, the team prevailed by a margin of 25 runs.
Conversely, the Delhi Capitals have turned things around after defeating the Gujarat Titans, the previous champions, for their lowest IPL total. The DC bowlers, Ishant Sharma (2 wickets) and Mukesh Kumar (3 wickets), sent GT’s key hitters back to the pavilion and limited the previous champions to only 89 runs in total. This allowed DC to seize control of the game.
In response, the DC batsmen stumbled in their chase and attempted to quickly conclude the game. But squad captain Rishabh Pant made sure the team won easily in the end.
There have been 23 meetings between the two teams, with the SRH leading Delhi by a slim margin of 12 victories to Delhi’s 11. The previous meeting between the two teams, which took place at Arun Jaitley Stadium last year, ended in a victory for the former champions.
