Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns with Delhi Capitals in the match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Hyderabad on Sunday. The game is an important one for the home side as they only have six points after six match and will need a win to stay in touch in the race of the top-four finish. In their previous match, Hyderabad suffered a six-wicket defeat while playing against Kings XI Punjab. In the previous five meetings between both teams, it is advantage Hyderabad as they've won four compared to Delhi's one.
In the batting department, the onus will be on the likes of in-form Australia's David Warner, England's Jonny Bairstow and right-hander Manish Pandey to score bulk of the runs, whereas on the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma and leg-spinner Rashid Khan to produce timely breakthroughs.
On the other hand, Delhi will enter the contest with high confidence as they are coming on the back of an impressive seven-wicket win in their previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). In the batting department, visitors will be relying on the likes of veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan, captain Shreyas Iyer and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant to score bulk of the runs, whereas on the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma and Chris Morris to provide timely breakthroughs.

Player Recommendations:
David Warner (Batsman)
First in the list of key players features Sunrisers Hyderabad's David Warner. The left-hander is in great form with the bat in hand as he is the leading run-scorer for the franchise with 349 runs at an average of 87.25 and at a strike-rate of 146.63. Those numbers shows why Warner is so important for Sunrisers Hyderabad and the team management will be hoping of another impressive show on Sunday.
Kagiso Rabada (Bowler)
Second in the list of key players features Delhi Capitals' Kagiso Rabada. The right-arm pacer is a proven talent in every format of the game and is having an outstanding tournament where he is the leading wicket-taker for the franchise with 13 scalps in just seven matches at an average of 16.69 and strike-rate of just 12.5. Therefore, Hyderabad will have to do all they can to neutralise Rabada if they are to produce a positive result.
Jonny Bairstow (Wicketkeeper)
Third in the list of key players features Sunrisers Hyderabad's Jonny Bairstow. The England international is having a great time with the bat in hand as he has already scored 263 runs in six outings at an impressive average of 43.83 and with strike-rate of 161.34. Therefore, the team management will be hoping for another stellar show from the 29-year-old.
Chris Morris (All-rounder)
Last in the list of key players features Delhi Capitals' Chris Morris. The South Africa international is having an impressive time with the ball in hand in the tournament where he already has eight wickets in five outings at a strike-rate of 14.20. Therefore, Delhi team management will be hoping for another good show from the 31-year-old.
