SRH vs DC — 21 Apr 2026 — Match Preview: Pitch Report, Playing XI, Key Players & Prediction

IPL — Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Delhi Capitals at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal (Hyderabad) on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Delhi Capitals in Match 31 of the IPL 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday, April 21. With the tournament reaching its halfway stage, both franchises have six points each.

Sunrisers Hyderabad are in fourth position following two consecutive victories. Hyderabad have showcased their immense batting depth recently by amassing 629 runs across their last three matches. They possess one of the most explosive batting lineups, crossing the 200-run mark four times in six games.

Delhi Capitals recently jumped to fifth position after defeating Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets. The Capitals chased down 175 runs, with contributions from KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs. However, DC have managed to cross the 200-run mark only once in their last five matches.

Sunrisers Hyderabad are likely to defeat Delhi Capitals as they have stronger batting firepower suited to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. They have consistently crossed the 200-run mark. Their bowlers have also claimed 68% of available wickets compared to 54% by Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals depend on KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs in the middle overs. If Eshan Malinga removes the top order early, Delhi may struggle due to a lack of explosive lower-order depth. Considering the home advantage and stronger batting numbers, Sunrisers Hyderabad are expected to win.
