DC vs SRH Playing 11: Delhi team would like to register second consecutive win over Hyderabad, know possible playing 11

After five consecutive defeats in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Delhi Capitals team, which has won the last two matches, will take the field against Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Saturday, then its batsmen will have to stand the test. In the last two matches, the role of the bowlers was important in helping Delhi win. Once again, the team's last match of its good performance from the bowlers was also against Sunrisers Hyderabad. This low-scoring match played in Hyderabad was won by Delhi by seven runs.

Akshar-Kuldeep's spin pair works 
Great use of the bowlers against. The spin duo of Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav kept the Hyderabad batsmen in check and then Mukesh Kumar brilliantly defended 12 runs in the last over. Ishant Sharma and Enrich Nortje also impressed in this match. The trouble for the team is his batting. In the last match, the team lost five wickets for 62 runs. With the restrained batting of Manish Pandey and Akshar Patel, Delhi scored 128 runs in 20 overs. The trouble for the team is his batting. In the last match, the team lost five wickets for 62 runs. With the restrained batting of Manish Pandey and Akshar Patel, Delhi scored 128 runs in 20 overs. The trouble for the team is his batting. In the last match, the team lost five wickets for 62 runs. With the restrained batting of Manish Pandey and Akshar Patel, Delhi scored 128 runs in 20 overs.

Need to send Akshar up the order
Warner has carried the batting burden of the team in most of the matches but due to lack of good support from the other end, he is not able to play freely. He has played the most dot balls in the powerplay this season. In place of Prithvi Shaw, who was running in poor rhythm, the team started the innings with Philip Salt in the last match but he failed to open the account. Mitchell Marsh looked good in his short innings but his 31 runs in five innings tells a different story. Sarfaraz Khan and Aman Hakim Khan have also struggled and things could have turned embarrassing for Delhi this IPL if Akshar didn't contribute with the bat in most of the matches. To fully utilize the skills of this spin all-rounder, he needs to be sent higher up the batting order.

Hyderabad batsmen also tested
On the other hand, the Sunrisers team was in a position to win the match for most of the time in the last match. However, the team had to bear the brunt of the slow start. Harry Brook has struggled to score runs in the Powerplay after his maiden century in the IPL. Batsmen like Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi and Abhishek Sharma have not been consistent in their performances. The bowlers of the team, however, have put in impressive performances. In the last match, Bhuvneshwar Kumar took two wickets for just 11 runs in four overs, while Washington Sundar stopped Delhi from scoring a big score by taking three wickets in the eighth over of the match.

Delhi Capitals: David Warner (Captain), Philip Salt (Wicketkeeper), Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey, Sarfaraz Khan, Akshar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, Ripple Patel, Enrich Narz, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma.
