IPL 2019, DC vs SRH preview: Delhi look to overcome lower-order woes

4.jpg

In Match 16 of VIVO Indian Premier League 2019 (IPL 2019), Delhi Capitals (DC) will play Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Ferozshah Kotla ground in New Delhi on Thursday. DC skipper Shreyas Iyer's task is to sort out his team’s lower-order and get some consistency in their remaining IPL 2019 fixtures. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad are in great form as their openers--David Warner and Jonny Bairstow--scored centuries against Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, it will be interesting to see whether SRH’s regular captain Kane Williamson is fit to make a comeback in SRH playing 11. Delhi Capitals are currently placed at fifth spot at 2019 IPL points table with two wins and as many losses after four games while SRH are placed at third position with two wins and one loss but they have best net run rate (2.111) among eight teams. Dream11

Delhi Capitals’ performance in IPL 2019 so far
A new-look Delhi Capitals began IPL 2019 with a superb win over three-time former champions Mumbai Indians but since then they have struggled with their lower-order. DC had failed to score six runs from the last over against Kolkata Knight Riders, thus taking the match to Super Over and it was only due to Kagiso Rabada's superb yorkers, they had managed to notch up a victory in the end.
However, Delhi's lower-order came unstuck against Kings XI Punjab on Monday night when they inexplicably lost seven wickets for eight runs to lose the game by 14 runs. Delhi were 144 for three in the 17th over, chasing 167 before being bowled out for 152 in 19.2 overs. "I am really speechless. Really disappointing. It is a crucial match and losing such matches is not going to benefit us. Mentally we need to train ourselves - we are getting good starts, need to finish better," Iyer had said after the match.

Delhi Capitals team news
Rishabh Pant, who made 78 to pile up 213 for his team against Mumbai in the first match, has been the highest run-scorer for Delhi while the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Iyer and Colin Ingram too have been among runs. The bowling department has been led by Rabada, while they also have Kiwi pacer Trent Boult and Ishant Sharma in their ranks. Young Nepalese leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane too has performed well so far for Delhi Capitals.
