Hyderabad, April 20 (NationPress) In the thrilling 31st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to face off against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium this Tuesday.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has had an inconsistent season thus far, currently sitting in fourth place on the points table with six points.

However, they seem to have regained their momentum recently, scoring consecutive wins against the Rajasthan Royals and the Chennai Super Kings. With this newfound rhythm, they are eager to clinch another victory.

Conversely, the Delhi Capitals began their campaign on a high note, winning their first two matches. However, they faced challenges with a series of defeats. Fortunately, they managed to turn their fortunes around in their latest encounter against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, thanks to a stellar performance from David Miller, who played a pivotal role in clinching the match during the final over. With their confidence boosted, Delhi is keen to maintain their positive trajectory in this match.
