On head to head record, SRH have won 11 games against Delhi who have clinched 8 victories over the orange army, including the super over win earlier this season.

Their previous encounter, in Chennai, went down the wire with Pant’s side prevailing in the super over. Prithvi Shaw was the Player of the Match for his scintillating 39-ball 53 while Axar Patel kept his cool bowling in the super over.
