The 20th fixture of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 sees Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Delhi Capitals at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai on April 25 (Sunday) at 7:30pm IST.

Teams Status

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Already with just two points but three defeats to their name in four matches, Sunrisers have been dealt a blow, with the news being that left-arm quick Thangarasu Natarajan is out of IPL due to a knee injury.

Granted that he played only two games in this IPL and was ordinary in both, a pacer with a decent yorker and variations could have been useful later in what is a long tournament.

In the standings, meanwhile, SRH only have two points, for which they have to thank the generous Punjab Kings, who folded for just 120. But SRH took their time in getting to even such a lowly target, doing it in the penultimate over.

Before that, they had started their campaign with three straight defeats, two of which were avoidable as they had very modest targets to chase but couldn’t.

Delhi Capitals: While the Sunrisers have lost a bowler, Delhi Capitals have gained one as all-rounder Axar Patel has rejoined their squad after making a full recovery from Covid-19. He is unlikely to feature right away as the management is expected to give him some more time to regain match fitness.

The news only adds to Delhi’s momentum as they recently defeated defending champions Mumbai and notched their second straight victory.

Last year’s losing finalist look to be in good touch and are determined to contend for the title again.

What Do the Sportsbooks Say?

Brand	Home team name	Away team name
	2.10	1.72

Tipster’s Angel

Tip: Sunrisers Hyderabad to win @ 2.104

Hyderabad have quietly built themselves quite a front three. They are the perfect example of a top heavy side but with names such as David Warner, Jonny Bairstow and Kane Williamson being their front three, it will be very hard, if not nigh on impossible, for opposition bowlers to not have at least one them hanging till the end of the innings. The bet here is to back that star-studded top order to deliver big – be it batting first or in a chase.

Tip: Best Bowler On Team Sunrisers Hyderabad – Rashid Khan @ 2.75

Arguably the world’s most dangerous spin bowler in the format, Rashid Khan has been at his usual best over the first four games, never conceding more than 24 runs as batsmen try and survive his overs rather than try anything silly. He hasn’t really done a true demolition job though, of which he is truly capable. A Rashid Khan wrecking job is due and it might just come in this match.

Conclusion

Not many would fancy the Sunrisers but the star power they have can upset any team on any given night. Delhi might just become one of their preys, just as they did last year when beaten by 88 runs in the first fixture of the series.
