On March 30, Delhi Capitals locked horns against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium. At toss, Pat Cummins, captain of SRH, won the toss and opted to bat first. 

Talking about the changes, Delhi Capitals have made one change to their playing XI, with KL Rahul replacing Sameer Rizvi. Meanwhile, SRH have also made one change, bringing in Zeeshan Ansari in place of Simarjeet Singh.

Delhi Capitals Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Captains' Thought

Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals Captain): "We would have batted first as well. Afternoon game, in the last match we saw the ball doing much more in the second game. But this is part of the game, we have to restrict them to a low total and then try and chase it down. 

Like I said, in captaincy, I know these things will keep on happening. We planned about our opponents, what we can do against them."

Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain): "We want to bat first. Afternoon game, it tends to be hottest. We want to put runs on the board. We have put a big score on the board and batted the opposition out of the game. So, we want to stick to our strengths. 

We aren't worried either way. We were a long way from our best in the last game. There are still some positive. We have to play the way we do, it won't work out all the time."
