DC vs SRH IPL 2024 Toss and Pitch Report: Win the toss and bat first?

DC vs SRH IPL 2024 Head to Head record with Rishabh Pant and Pat Cummins

Delhi Capitals will lock horns against the formidable record-breaking Sunrisers Hyderabad today in IPL 2024. The night match is scheduled for 7:30 PM IST at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Sunrisers' formidable lineup, featuring powerful spin-hitters Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen, places emphasis on Kuldeep Yadav's left-arm wristspin for the Capitals. Despite an injury earlier in the season limiting him to just four games in IPL 2024, Kuldeep has been a significant presence, capturing six wickets while proving difficult to score against. Maintaining an impressive economy rate of 6.06, he has conceded more than a run a ball only once, against the Rajasthan Royals.

In light of Kuldeep and Axar Patel's presence in the Capitals' squad, Heinrich Klaasen's proficiency in handling spin becomes paramount for Sunrisers. Among batters with over 200 runs, Klaasen boasts a striking rate second only to Dinesh Karthik this season, standing at 199.21. Additionally, he holds the distinction of being the most prolific six-hitter not only in the current IPL but across all T20 matches in 2024.
