IPL 2017: Match 40 – Delhi Daredevils Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad – Match Prediction

Zaheer Khan sans Delhi Daredevils will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at their home round at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in New Delhi, which will only be the third home game for them. Delhi side is currently placed at the last position on the points table but they have a chance to improve their ranking, going by the fact that they play five of their next six games at their home. It’s a chance for them to reap benefits from the home turf and also enlighten their chances of qualifying for the next round.

This is a chance for them to cash upon the week trait of Sunrisers Hyderabad i.e. not performing away from home. They have just been able to win just one game away from home. This is a fact which Delhi might be well versed off and will look to make most out of it.

Overview – 

Despite playing this game at home, Delhi look the weaker of the two sides due to the fact hat they do not have any performing element in their squad. They were packed for a score of 67 in the last game, to lose it by a margin of 10 wickets. Bowling line up has dealt a blow due to Zaheer Khan missing this game due to an injury. In short, nothing seems to be going in their way and this side is the weakest bunch of boys in the tournament.

On the other hand, the season has been a cult for Sunrisers Hyderabad due to the impressive wins that they have registered. They are currently placed at the third position on the points table and are having an eye on the top spot. The Last year’s triumph is their biggest inspiration, that continues to work in their favour.

Tracking the strength – 

As of now, there is hardly any strength left in Delhi side as the team have not come up with a performance which can be termed as a strengthening one. They look a weak and bleak team which is currently placed at the last position.

The other camp is one of the best sides in current year’s tournament and is fighting with other teams for the top spot. All the department of this team are strong and they are even contenders to win the tournament as well. The players in this team have performed well.  Captain David Warner has himself led them from the front and is currently the orange cap holder.

Bowling line-up comprising of uncapped players like Siddharth Kaul, Mohammed Siraj and Bipul Sharma have also performed well, which has been the main reason for the success of the team.

Match Prediction  –

The match will be played in New Delhi at the home ground of Delhi, so the home side will look to turn the fortunes for them, though it will be an onerous task.

Looking at the current form of the team and the way players have performed, Sunrises Hyderabad look the favourites to win the game and it is difficult to expect an out the box performance from Delhi Daredevils.

The main reason for Delhi’s torrid form is the inexperienced batting line-up, which has no guide out there in the middle of the pitch on the ground.
