Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Colin Munro, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, Keemo Paul, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Wriddhiman Saha(w), Martin Guptill, Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson(c), Vijay Shankar, Mohammad Nabi, Deepak Hooda, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, K Khaleel Ahmed, Basil Thampi 19:05 IST: Kane Williamson: That is the case, we were also looking to bowl first. It looks like a good surface bit little bit on the tacky side. But we have to see how it plays and assess the conditions as we go by. Manish has been playing really well. Obviously, a couple of players have left us, but at the end of the day the team has been playing some good cricket, just not quite getting across the line. So important for us to make that step up today. We also have one change - Hooda comes in for Yusuf Pathan. 19:03 IST: Shreyas Iyer: We are going to bowl first. The wickets looks a bit sticky. We practised yesterday and there was dew - it is an added advantage. We are going to treat it as another game. But it is a playoff and the players are nervous. It is good to be nervous because it gets the best out of yourself. I believe everyone was enthusiastic in practise yesterday to come and perform, you saw that with how eager I was to flip the coin. We are looking forward to this game. We have only one change - Colin Munro comes in for Colin Ingram 19:00 IST: TOSS TIME: Delhi Capitals win toss, opt to bowl first 18:50 IST: Pitch Report: "It is beautifully flat. India played a low scoring T20I against Australia. It is very dry and there are a few cracks. It is a bit like mosaic surface, quite soft in spots. There might not be too much pace on the pitch. Change of pace will be the key for the fast bowlers," reads Michael Slater. 18:39 IST: SRH have made it to four straight playoffs matches since winning the title in 2016. They played seven matches in playoffs and won four matches while reaching the finals twice - 2016 and 2018.

IPL 2019, Eliminator, DC vs SRH: Match Prediction – Weather Report, Pitch Conditions, Playing XIs and Live Streaming Details Both teams got the better of each other once in the round-robin stage. Delhi Capitals (DC) had the chance of finishing in the top two of the points table. However, MI’s victory against KKR at the Wankhede meant that the Shreyas Iyer and Co finished third. Now the Capitals have to play the Eliminator against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) tomorrow in Visakhapatnam. The Delhi franchise is in good form after beating Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the last round-robin match. The Sunrisers, on the other hand, became the first team in the history of the IPL to qualify for the playoffs with six victories. The team, captained by Kane Williamson, lost two of their stalwarts- David Warner and Jonny Bairstow- and also lost their last two league games versus MI and RCB. But luck favoured them eventually as the permutation and combination kept working out in their favour. Pitch Report Visakhapatnam will host its first game this season and a batting paradise may not be on offer. The track has traditionally been slow and low and hence, spinners will have an important role to play. Bearing in mind that it’s a knockout match, the track is expected to have something in it for the batsmen as well. Weather Report The conditions during the game won’t be daunting. The temperature will hover between 28 degree Celsius and 32 degrees Celsius during the course of the encounter. The humidity percentages will be around 76 and 87. There will be a bit of cloud cover, but there is no prediction of a downpour. Team Combination Delhi Capitals The Capitals may bring Chris Morris in place of Keemo Paul, who went wicketless in his last couple of outings. Prithvi Shaw has been a tad off colour and he’ll want to make amends immediately. Ishant Sharma hasn’t let DC miss Kagiso Rabada much and got three wickets in the last match. Leg spinner Amit Mishra, last match’s Player of the Match will be a key player for the Capitals once again. Probable XI Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (wk), Colin Ingram, Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult Sunrisers Hyderabad The Sunrisers may leave out Yusuf Pathan and bring in Deepak Hooda. Yusuf has played 10 games and scored at a strike of 88.88. In the batting department, the onus will be on Wriddhiman Saha and Martin Guptill to give SRH a good start. Manish Pandey’s role will also be critical. SRH will also be relieved by the fact the skipper Kane is back in form. Thampi is likely to be persisted with despite not picking any wickets. Probable XI Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Martin Guptill, Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson (C), Vijay Shankar, Deepak Hooda, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Basil Thampi Which team has the best chance to win the match? – IPL 2019, Eliminator – DC vs SRH: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update Probable Top Performers Shikhar Dhawan- Delhi Capitals The southpaw scored three back-to-back half-centuries in this IPL and with 486 runs under his belt, he is arguably DC’s best batsmen. However, he slumped to failures against SRH in the league matches, having scored 12 and 7 respectively. Even in the last two games, he scored 19 and 16, and DC will want for their star batsman to step up and deliver the goods. Kane Williamson- Sunrisers Hyderabad The Kiwi batsman hasn’t had a great campaign, and it was important for him to get back amongst the runs. He only has an average of 21.33, which is a way below-par going by the standards he has set for himself over the years. However, the Tauranga-born came into his own against the Royal Challengers as he turned up with a 43-ball 70, albeit his knock went in vain. Broadcast Details TV – Star Sports 1, Star Sports 1 HD, Star Sports 1 Select HD Live Streaming – Hotstar Match Timings – 19:30 IST The prediction is for the team, batting second to win the match.
