Delhi Capitals will have one shot at glory. Their performance have been dismal in the latter stage of the tournament. The capital franchise started on a good note but their top-order have delivered worrisome performances. However, with the final berth at stake, Delhi Capitals will look to comeback stronger in the game.

SRH suffered a major blow with Wriddhiman Saha suffering a groin injury. However, developments have confirmed that it is not serious, and he is expected to return to the qualifier. David Warner will look to fire in the match after missing out on the previous with Kane Williamson and Jason Holder playing important roles.

The major concern playing in the UAE will be heat. A lot of foreign players are not habituated to playing in such conditions. However, local Indian players might tackle the heat as they have played under such conditions in the sub-continent.

The weather on the match day is predicted to remain around 35 to 42 degree celsius. As the day, progresses, the temperature might give slight relief to the players who are in for an evening start with the match.

Toss also becomes a major concern in the IPL 2020 due to this situation even though in the shortest format it doesn’t plays a big role. Humidity during the latter part of the match makes it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball.
