Delhi will play for playoffs and Hyderabad will come down to expectations

Delhi Capitals, who have suffered two successive defeats, will go on to win the IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday with an intention to secure a place in the playoffs, while for Hyderabad it will be a do or die match. .

Delhi Capitals are second in the points table with seven wins and four defeats and fourteen points in eleven matches while Hyderabad are seventh in eleven matches with four wins, seven defeats and eight points. Hyderabad will have to win this match to keep their hopes up or else their game will end.

Delhi have lost their last two matches by 59 runs to Kolkata Knight Riders and by five wickets to Kings XI Punjab. Delhi had their last win against Chennai Super Kings in Sharjah by five wickets. Delhi need to win just one of their remaining three matches to go to the playoffs. Delhi fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has also said that the team has got some worry due to the previous defeat. In response to Kolkata's score of 194, Delhi's team was able to score 135 runs.

Delhi relies heavily on their hopes for opener Shikhar Dhawan, who was dismissed for six in the previous match, while scoring two unbeaten centuries in the previous two matches. Delhi need to improve their batting only then will they be able to expect a win against Hyderabad.

The Hyderabad team, captained by David Warner, had a golden opportunity to win against Punjab in their last match but the team had to face defeat by 12 runs. Hyderabad were reduced to 114 after Punjab were restricted to 126 runs. Hyderabad lost their last seven wickets by adding just 14 runs. Warner will have to work hard to improve the batting of his team or else it will not take time to tie his bag.
