SRH have more or less assured themselves of a place in the playoff after winning eight of their 10 matches to pocket 16 points while Delhi's campaign has been lacklustre with just three wins from 10 outings. Out of the 11 times that these two teams have faced each other, Sunrisers Hyderabad hold an edge having won on seven occasions as compared to Delhi Daredevils' four victories. In their last meeting at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, the SRH romped home by 7 wickets as DD once again squandered a great start to lose the plot in the dying stages.
Delhi Daredevils’ woes in IPL 2018 has been compounded by an inconsistent opening partnership, despite teenager Prithvi Shaw going great guns blazing at the top. Besides Shaw, young skipper Shreyas Iyer and stumper Rishabh Pant form the backbone of DD's batting and would be hoping to put on another brave effort against the best bowling line-up in IPL 2018. It would also be interesting to see whether Delhi Daredevils still persists with Australian Glenn Maxwell, who had a torrid season so far. On the bowling front, New Zealander Trent Boult have led his resources well with the young Avesh Khan, Englishman Liam Plunkett and all-rounder Vijay Shankar while leg-spinner Amit Mishra have also been amongst the wickets.
