DC vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Following two straight wins, Delhi Capitals will look to keep the momentum going when they play Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday evening, April 20, 2024.
Delhi started the IPL 2024 with two straight defeats, losing by four wickets against Punjab Kings followed by a close 12-run defeat against Rajasthan Royals. Rishabh Pant‘s team then made a mockery of the pre-match odds and handed Chennai Super Kings their first defeat of the current campaign, winning their first match as well. But Delhi failed to build on that famous win, as they went down in the next two matches against Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians respectively.
With the pressure mounting and the season on the cusp of becoming irrelevant, Rishabh Pant and Co. pulled their sleeves up and won two big games, against top-four rivals Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans in the last match.
For Sunrisers Hyderabad, the power lies with the batters. The likes of Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Abhishek Sharma have only one approach, and that is to smash the bowlers with utmost disdain and send the ball out of the park. The 2016 IPL champions can outscore any team on any given day. On current form, they are the most dangerous team in the IPL at the moment.

DC vs SRH Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: Historically, the pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is famous for its slow nature. The spinners and slow bowlers used to enjoy bowling on this deck, but that happens more in Test cricket. In white-ball games, however, the pitch remains a balanced deck, as both bowlers and batsmen have phases where they are at the top of their game.
Additionally, Arun Jaitley Stadium is one of the shortest grounds in India, where a decent hit can easily clear the ropes. So, expect the likes of Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, Travis Head, and Jake Fraser-McGurk to unleash their brutal selves in this match.
Weather Report: As summer peaks in India, the temperature is reaching new heights every day. The maximum temperature on Saturday is likely to reach as high as 39°C during noon. There isn’t much respite in the evening either, as the temperature is likely to drop only by a few degrees when the match kicks off at 07:30 PM (IST) on April 20, 2024.
Additionally, no rain is expected on Saturday, while the humidity level is likely to remain below 30%.
