Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Four of the last five games at this venue have been won by the team batting first and we expect a nice batting track with a par score of over 195.
The forecast for Hyderabad on Monday evening is for plenty of cloud-cover with a threat of isolated thunderstorms. Humidity will be high with the temperature in the mid-high 20s.
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals – Match Predictions
Although Delhi Capitals did get their first win of the campaign in their last match, and Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost their last two, it is the Sunrisers who have shown more consistency across the campaign. We are backing the hosts to win a closely contested evening match.

Probable 6s
These two teams have the poorest record for hitting sixes in the 2023 IPL with neither side averaging more than five per game. Delhi Capitals are averaging only 2.5 sixes per match, which works out at a measly six every 48 balls! With Harry Brook not afraid to tee-off from ball one, we are predicting Sunrisers Hyderabad to hit the most sixes on Monday night.
Our prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad to hit most sixes in the match at 4/5 (1.80).
Probable Wickets
It was a fine team bowling performance from Delhi Capitals who bowled out Kolkata Knight Riders for 127 on Thursday evening. Each of Ishant Sharma, Anrich Nortje, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets but it is the South African who we are backing to be the outright top bowler this time. With the pace to rattle the lower-order and the accuracy to trouble the top batters, Anrich Nortje is our prediction to pick up the most wickets for the Capitals.
Our prediction: Anrich Nortje to be Delhi Capitals’ highest wicket-taker at 5/2 (3.50).
Man of the Match
The pace bowlers for Sunrisers Hyderabad had a night to forget in Chennai on Friday but the likes of Umran Malik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jansen will be a lot happier in Hyderabad. Jansen had taken two wickets in each of his previous three matches and is also a dangerous threat with the bat. With his height, pace and left-arm action producing swing, he is our prediction to deliver in this game and to be awarded Man of the Match.
Our prediction: Marco Jansen to be the Man of the Match at 14/1 (15.00).
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals
Although Sunrisers Hyderabad lead the overall head to head 11-10 against Delhi Capitals, they are looking to end a run of four straight defeats to the Capitals in this game! Hyderabad last beat Delhi in October 2020 by 88 runs, almost three years ago.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Not a lot went the way of Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game, a seven wicket defeat to Chennai Super Kings, but on paper they had their best XI on the field. Our prediction is that same XI will be selected ahead of this match.
Predicted XI: Harry Brook, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Mayank Agarwal, Marco Jansen, Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, Umran Malik
Delhi Capitals
After struggling for so long to find a winning combination, we very much doubt that Delhi Capitals will dare to make any changes to their XI ahead of this match. Phil Salt made his IPL debut on Thursday and will be a better player for his experience.
Predicted XI: David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Phil Salt (wk), Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, Lalit Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje
