Team News for Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals missed their captain Shreyas Iyer throughout the first half. But stand-in captain Rishabh Pant did an excellent job to keep Capitals on the top. Delhi Capitals won 6 of their 8 games to be at the top spot when the IPL halted.
Delhi’s opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Prithwi Shaw are all set to repeat the heroics from the first half. The left and right-hand combo have scored 688 runs for Delhi in 8 matches this season.
Pacer Avesh Khan, who has taken 14 wickets so far, will lead the bowling unit along with Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje. Amit Mishra’s recovery from injury must have given a boost to the Delhi camp.

Team News for Sunrisers Hyderabad
After finishing the last 5 seasons in the playoffs (with one title), no one imagined Sunrisers to slump to the bottom in IPL 2021. Sunrisers have managed a solitary win in 7 matches so far. The unavailability of their leading run-scorer, Jonny Bairstow, will make it more difficult for them to rise in the second half.
Three-time orange cap holder David Warner will be the key for Sunrisers in UAE. They have no option but to play him after keeping him out for the seventh game. Bairstow’s replacement, Sherfane Rutherford, looks promising, and he recently finished CPL with 262 runs in 10 games. Leg-spinner Rashid Khan will lead the bowling unit with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan, who missed most of the first half with an injury. Natarajan's bowling at the death could be the key for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Likely playing 11 of Sunrisers Hyderabad
