Delhi Capitals take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in game 35 of the IPL 2024, on Saturday, April 20.
Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match 35 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, on Saturday, April 20. Rishabh Pant-led DC are sixth on the points table with just three wins and four losses from seven matches. Delhi, who played two of their home games in Visakhapatnam this season, will be returning to their original home ground. Playing their first game in Delhi will be special for the side and it will surely boost their confidence for the upcoming match.
DC are coming off two back-to-back wins, defeating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by six wickets. In their last game against Gujarat Titans (GT), the Delhi-based franchise displayed great bowling efforts and bundled out their opposition for 89 runs, making it the lowest total of the season, and won the game with ease.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have blown hot and cold in the tournament, having won four and lost two encounters from six matches. However, after winning their last three games, Pat Cummins and Co. will be highly motivated to continue their winning rhythm against DC.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report: The surface in Delhi, previously known for being slow and offering low-scoring surfaces, underwent a significant transformation before the ODI World Cup 2023. These revamped pitches have now become batting paradises, resulting in high-scoring encounters. However, during the Women’s Premier League (WPL) matches held in March, the surfaces showed mixed characteristics. While some pitches heavily favoured the batters, others assisted the bowlers. The team that wins the toss will look to bat first.
