DC vs SRH: Revealed - Who are the impact players nominated by DC and SRH for game 35 of IPL 2024

The 35th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) is seeing the battle between the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) and Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, April 20.

Delhi Capitals (DC) are high on confidence heading into the match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as in their previous match, they comprehensively thumped the IPL 2022 champions.

Winning the toss and bowling first in the match, Delhi Capitals bowlers were right on the money as they annihilated the GT batting unit and bowled them out for 89 in 17.3 overs. Mukesh Kumar picked up three wickets while Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs bagged two wickets each. Khaleel Ahmed and Axar Patel were also among the wickets while Rashid Khan (31) top-scored for the Gujarat Titans (GT).

Chasing the target, Delhi Capitals batters played with an aggressive intent and completed the run-chase in 8.5 overs. DC won the match by 6 wickets with 67 balls remaining to gain some momentum in the IPL 2024.

Just like DC, Sunrisers Hyderabad are also entering the match on the back of a victory as they defeated RCB by 25 runs in a high-scoring thriller at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.

Batting first, they registered 287/3 - the highest total in the history of IPL - thanks to Travis Head's sensational century and Heinrich Klaasen's brutal fifty. Also, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram and Abdul Samad chipped in with brilliant runs.

Defending the target, SRH bowlers had to deal with the onslaught of the RCB batters and they were taken to the cleaners all over the park. However, the total was so huge that it was never going to be chased, hence, RCB despite their best efforts were restricted to 262/7 in 20 overs. For SRH, Pat Cummins picked three wickets, Mayank Markande bagged two wickets and T Natarajan got one wicket.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to field first in the match. At the toss, Rishabh Pant revealed that they made two changes to the team as Lalit Yadav and Anrich Nortje were back in the playing XI. Rishabh Pant elaborated:

"We're going to bowl first. Wicket looks pretty good, we would like to chase because we are playing more as a batting unit. We have more batters. Maybe there will be dew. The only thing we said is "stay in the contest". Yes they've been playing really good cricket but you can't let them get away with it. Ground doesn't matter, end of the day you have to play good cricket. We're looking to improve each and every match. Instead of Sumit, Lalit comes in. Instead of Ishant, Nortje comes in."

Meanwhile, SRH captain Pat Cummins said that they expect teams to come hard at them as they have been batting pretty well. Pat Cummins said:

"The way the boys have been batting, we know teams are going to come hard at us. Same batting lineup, we'll have a look at the bowling a little later on."
