Delhi Capitals (DC) will host SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 35th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday. DC has achieved a record of 3 wins and 4 losses this season and is currently ranked sixth in the IPL 2024 standings with 6 points from 7 games. SRH, meanwhile, is currently fourth in the standings with eight points, having won four and lost two from six games. With Delhi aiming to climb the table and Hyderabad looking to retain their top-four spot, let’s take a look at the predicted line-up ahead of this exciting match.

DC Predict XI

Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw had an inconsistent batting performance in IPL 2024, scoring 158 runs in five games. Shaw, despite having a half-century, has a strike rate of over 154, which shows that he has the potential to put in an impressive performance against Hyderabad.

Jack Fraser-McGurk

Jake Fraser-McGurk is in great form this season, scoring 75 points in two games. The powerful Australian batsman, who recently scored brilliant 50s, and his strike rate of 166.66 suggest that he can continue his run-scoring spree in the upcoming games.

Abhishek Borel

The addition of Abishek Porel to the starting XI will provide stability to the top line-up. Although Porrell was in poor form for Delhi, scoring just 106 runs in six innings, his strike rate was 153.26. With that in mind, he’ll be keen to convert his starts into big scores as soon as possible.

Rishabh Pant (captain and wicketkeeper)

DC captain Rishabh Pant is in good form in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024. He is Delhi Capitals’ top run-scorer with 210 runs in 7 games. Pant was named man of the match against GT and he will be looking to replicate that performance on Saturday.

Shay Hope

Shay Hope will add more depth and stability to the Capitals’ middle order. Hope looks in good shape, scoring 63 points in three games, averaging 31.50 and shooting 140 from the field. The talented West Indies cricketer will make an impact for Washington DC at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Tristan Stubbs

Tristan Stubbs surprised everyone by taking two wickets in the last game. Apart from right-arm spin, Stubbs has scored 189 runs in six games with a strike rate of 190.90. With excellent form, the young South African will be keen to contribute with bat and ball in the upcoming matches.

Axar Patel

Axar Patel will lead Delhi Capitals’ spin attack alongside Kuldeep Yadav. Although Patel struggled with the bat in IPL 2024, he impressed by taking 5 wickets in 7 games and maintaining an economy rate of 6.75. Patel is set to play a key role in containing the opposition batsmen.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav has incredible spin ability and outsmarted batsmen in IPL 2024. With an impressive economy rate of 6.06, Kuldeep took 6 wickets in four games. An in-form Kuldeep could cause problems for Delhi’s renowned SRH batting line-up.

Ishant Sharma

Veteran pacer Ishant Sharma has been in good form for Delhi Capitals this season. He took two crucial wickets in the last game, dismissing Shubman Gill and David Miller. The two wickets took his total tally in as many matches to six. Sharma had a good record against SRH, taking 5 wickets in eight matches, and he is expected to maintain his wicket-keeping form on Saturday.

Mukesh Kumar

Mukesh Kumar grabbed the headlines with figures of 3/14 in the last game against Gujarat Titans. He has excelled at outsmarting batsmen with his pace, taking eight wickets in four games this season at an average of 15.62 and an economy of 9.25. Mukesh is keen to add more wickets against SRH.

Khalil Ahmed

Khalil performed steadily for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024, taking 10 wickets in 7 games. Furthermore, Karel is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2024. If he maintains his good form throughout the season, he is likely to attract the attention of Indian selectors ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup.

In the last game, he played a brilliant knock of 67 runs to lead SRH to their highest ever IPL total of 287 runs. With an impressive 63.25 runs and a strike rate of 199.21, Klassen is expected to continue his run-scoring form against DC on Saturday.

Shahbaz Ahmed will be a valuable spin bowling option to strengthen Hyderabad’s bowling line-up. Although Shahbaz has not been at his best so far in IPL 2024, he is capable of giving his team a vital breakthrough. He can also contribute runs with the bat, playing a key role as needed.

Pat Cummins (captain)

SRH captain Pat Cummins performed brilliantly in IPL 2024. Apart from his outstanding leadership skills, Cummins has also been impressive in his leadership of the bowling attack, taking 9 wickets in six games while maintaining an excellent economy rate of 787. Cummins could be one of Delhi’s wickets on Saturday.

Jeff Unadkat

Jaydev Unadkat is gradually finding his form in the ongoing Indian Premier League. Unadkat has taken four wickets in five games so far this season. The 32-year-old left-armer can use his experience in domestic cricket to play a key role on the tricky Kotla pitch.

T Natarajan
