Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2023
Sunrisers Hyderabad will be looking for redemption on Saturday when they lock horns against David Warner’s Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium for Match 40. The former team was beaten by 7 runs by DC in Match 34 at their home ground when Axar Patel stole the limelight with the bat as well as with the ball. Ahead of this key matchup, let us take a detailed look at their predicted playing XI, team news, weather report, and much more.
Delhi Capitals lost their first five games in the tournament but have bounced back to currently be on a 2-game winning streak, entering Match 40. David Warner’s team defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in their 6th match while they trounced Sunrisers Hyderabad in their latest matchup. Given that there is no more room for errors, if DC is to fight for a spot in the playoffs, they need to win games consecutively from here on.
On the flip side, Sunrisers Hyderabad has slipped big time in the competition and even on the points table. After winning 2 of their first 4 encounters, SRH has looked depleted, out of shape, and has been under immense pressure. They are currently on a 3-game losing streak. So, Match 40 becomes a crucial encounter for them to add 2 valuable points against their name.

DC Team News & Playing 11
DC Team News
David Warner might be inclined to include Prithvi Shaw as his opening partner after Philip Salt got out on a golden duck in DC’s previous game. Moreover, even the likes of Sarfaraz Khan and Aman Khan might be placed on the bench, after knowing the importance of Match 40 for the concerned franchise.
DC Key Players
- David Warner - Currently placed 5th in the race to the orange cap for this season, Warner has scored more than 300 runs in 7 games. Interestingly, while he smashed over 40 boundaries, the Australian International has hit only 1 maximum in the competition. This makes you believe how safe he has played to this point for DC.
- Ishant Sharma - The veteran Indian pacer has been the knight in shining armor for Delhi Capitals. In the previous game, Sharma bowled 3 overs wherein he gave 18 runs and even took a wicket.
- Axar Patel - In the IPL 2023, Axar has contributed not only with the ball but with the bat as well. He took 2 wickets by giving just 21 runs in the previous game and even scored crucial 34 runs.
DC Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Yash Dhull, Khaleel Ahmed, Philip Salt
From what we have seen, the majority of the teams opted to make an impact substitute as per the situation of the game - in the second innings. So, if the spoken-off team is eager to add batsman - Yash Dhull or Philip Salt can be a valid choice whereas Nagarkoti and Khaleel would be much suited for this venue.
DC Team Form
Delhi Capitals are currently on a 2-game winning streak after they beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 wickets and 4 balls remaining and Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 runs.

SRH Team News & Playing 11
SRH Team News
Despite having a positive impact in Match 34 against DC, Washington Sundar’s potential injury has ruled him out of the competition. On the other hand, Marco Jansen could be replaced by Fazalhaq Farooqi or Adil Rashid whereas even Kartik Tyagi could be an interesting inclusion for Aiden Markram in Match 40.
SRH Key Players
- Bhuvaneshwar Kumar - The medium-arm Indian bowler took 2 wickets and gave just 11 runs when SRH locked horns against DC a few days ago. Even in Match 40, Kumar will be crucial in taking early wickets in the powerplay.
- Harry Brook - The Englishmen has shown his true caliber by smashing a thumping century for SRH previously but ever since that point he has come up dry. While inconsistency has been his issue this season, Brook will be eager to redeem himself in Match 40 especially after he got out on just 7 runs off 14 balls in Match 34.
- T Natarajan: The left-arm fast bowler has been pivotal with the new ball, and given the conditions at the upcoming venue, his slower balls could be decisive in the latter over. Moreover, he took a wicket and had an economy rate of just 7 in Match 34 against DC.
SRH Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Umran Malik, Samarth Vyas, Rahul Tripathi, and Glenn Phillips
While Tripathi came in as an impact substitute in the previous game, he couldn’t make much of a difference. But if SRH is to defend a score, they are most likely to add a bowler - which could mean the inclusion of either Umran Malik or Samarth Vyas. Whereas Glenn Phillips can be a valuable addition if SRH opts to use only 3 overseas players in the first innings.
SRH Team Form
They lost their previous game against Delhi Capitals by 7 runs after failing to chase a subpar total of 145 runs. On top of that, SRH has lost consecutive games against Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians as well.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
Mayank Markande, Fazalhaq Farooqi/Adil Rashid, Heinrich Klaasen (Wk), Kartik Tyagi, T Natarajan, Mayank Agarwal, Samarth Vyas, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Aiden Markram (C), Harry Brook, Abhishek Sharma
