Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to bowl first against Delhi Capitals at the Firoz Shah Kotla in the sixteenth match of this year’s Indian Premier League.

Pitch report:

“No grass at all on it. The Super Over game saw a 180-plus match and the average first innings score has been 177 over the years. The pitch generally is skiddy in the first 10 overs before it starts slowing down. Spin could be the key, especially for DC if they are to restrict the Warner-Bairstow pair,” said Michael Slater.

Here is what the captains said:

Bhuvneshwar Kumar:

“We are gonna bowl first. It’s a dry wicket but keeping the way we’ve batted in the last few games, we want to chase. We’re unchanged.”

Shreyas Iyer:

“We would have bowled first as well, irrespective of what happened the other night. Looks a dry surface and it might spin more in the second half. So, banking on that. Three changes – Ishant, Axar and Tewatia come in.”

Teams:

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI):

Jonny Bairstow(w), David Warner, Vijay Shankar, Yusuf Pathan, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar(c), Sandeep Sharma, Siddarth Kaul
