On Sunday, March 30, Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns against Delhi Capitals at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in the first match of a doubleheader Sunday. It will be an exciting clash as DC will play their 2nd match of the tournament while SRH are coming fresh off a defeat against LSG. 

Talking about the Men in Orange, they will play their third match of the tournament. They are expected to make a few changes for the upcoming game as they suffered a defeat against LSG. Thus, this article will look at SRH's probable XI for the upcoming match. 

No Change In The Top Order

Despite the defeat, SRH are not expected to make any changes to the top order as it was just a rare failure with the bat. Further, SRH have raised the bar so much that 190 runs on the board look like a small total. Thus, it is expected that Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen will retain the top position.
