The Delhi Capitals and the Sunrisers Hyderabad will square off in match 35 of the 2024 Indian Premier League on Saturday afternoon. The hosts are currently in sixth place in the league standings, while the visitors are fourth. After a very poor start to the tournament, the Delhi Capitals seem to have found top gear of late. They come into this match off the back of a commanding win, bowling out the Gujarat Titans for a mere 89 runs in 17.3 overs and went on to chase down the total in just 8.5 overs. With that result, the Capitals have now moved to six points in seven matches, trailing the teams in the playoff qualification spots by just two points. Mukesh Kumar bagged 3/14 against GT last time out and is now in 11th place in the race for the purple cap, while Khaleel Ahmed ranks third with 10 wickets in 28 overs to date. Rishabh Pant has been the key contributor with the bat, currently on 210 runs in seven innings. DC beat this opponent by seven runs in their last encounter but are the underdogs in this one, according to the latest bookmaker odds. 

Meanwhile, after finishing bottom of the table last season and failing to reach the playoffs in the last four tournaments, the Sunrisers Hyderabad are off to a much better start this term. They are currently holding down the fourth and final playoff spot and boast a healthy net run rate of +0.502. SRH’s major strength this season has been their batting performance. The men from Hyderabad surpassed their own record for the highest-ever team total in IPL history by scoring 287/3 while batting first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday. They went on to win the match by 25 runs, notching up their third consecutive win in the process. Heinrich Klaasen has been the key contributor with the bat so far, currently on 253 runs in six innings, followed by Travis Head, who has 235 in five games. With ball in hand, Pat Cummins leads the way for SRH with nine wickets. The Aussie quick is currently fifth in the race for the purple cap. This should be an excellent match between two sides that are in solid form at this moment.
