DC vs SRH Toss Factor
The wicket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium has traditionally been on the slower side, assisting the spinners. Looking at the SRH power-hitting abilities, the home side might opt for a tailor-made slow wicket. Spinners could be the most impactful players in this game.
Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the toss
- The Sunrisers have done a great job while batting first in this tournament. So, Rishabh Pant, on winning the toss, might look to bat first and put the scoreboard pressure on the SRH batting line-up.
- If DC bat first, Rishabh Pant, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Tristan Stubbs will be important choices from the batting department of DC.
- While defending the target, Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed will play a crucial role for the team in the bowling department.
Scenario: If Sunrisers Hyderabad win the toss
- Sunrisers Hyderabad have a powerful batting line-up, and they have wonders in IPL 2024. Pat Cummins will be comfortable with defending a target and look to bat first on winning the coin flip.
- Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Aiden Markram will be vital picks for the game from the SRH batting.
- Pat Cummins has looked in good form with the ball in the last match. If he can bowl with the same rhythm in this game, then he will be a highly rewarding choice for the fantasy contests of the match.
DC vs SRH Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks
Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the match
Jake Fraser-McGurk (DC)
The young Australian batter has impressed with his aggressive batting style in the tournament. Jake Fraser-McGurk has the form with him, and his ability to change the complexion of a match within a matter of deliveries makes him a prime C or VC choice for the game.
Rishabh Pant (DC)
The DC skipper has been in a good rhythm with the bat in IPL 2024. Rishabh Pant's numbers against SRH are also pretty good and, hence, could be a rewarding C or VC choice.
Scenario: If Sunrisers Hyderabad win the match
Heinrich Klaasen (SRH)
The South African batter has been in brilliant form in the T20 format for the last 10-12 months. Heinrich Klaasen has carried the momentum and form into this tournament and is looking in great touch. He will be a prime C or VC choice for the fantasy contests of the match.

Pat Cummins (SRH)
The Australian skipper has had an average start to the tournament with the ball. But in the last match, Pat Cummins regained his bowling form, and emerged as the prime wicket-taker for his team in a game where runs were available for free.
DC vs SRH High Risk, High Reward
Prithvi Shaw has been in decent form in IPL 2024
Prithvi Shaw (DC)
The Indian opener has looked decent with the bat in IPL 2024. However, consistency is Prithvi Shaw's biggest concern. Therefore, he will be a risky choice as the C or VC for this game.
Travis Head (SRH)
The Australian opener has been in brilliant form in IPL 2024. However, if the Arun Jaitley wicket is a tailor-made slow one, then there are fewer chances that Travis Head will succeed. Hence he will be a risky option as a C or VC.
DC vs SRH Stay Aways
Sumit Kumar (DC)
Sumit Kumar has failed to impress with either the bat or the ball in the tournament. Given his batting order and current form, there is little chance that Sumit Kumar will be able to impact the game as a C or VC.
Jaydev Unadkat (SRH)
The left-arm pacer has so far taken the stick in this tournament. Jaydev Unadkat has been out of form with the ball, and given how he has done in the tournament so far, he could be avoided as the C or VC for the game.
