SRH vs DC, IPL 2021: Today match players list & umpires
The Delhi Capitals (DC) can go top of the table with a win, while the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) would be vying for a spot in the top four. Both sides would get to work towards their respective milestones when they face each other in Match 19 of IPL 2021 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (April 25).
For starters, DC skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to bat first at a venue where dew might play a bigger role later in the evening. DC made one change from Tuesday’s six-wicket victory over defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI). Fit-again Axar Patel came into the side for his first game of the season, replacing Lalit Yadav.
In the bowling department, Rishabh Pant has two pacers and three spinners to choose from. DC’s four overseas picks include Steve Smith, Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis and Kagiso Rabada.
Seventh-placed SRH also made one change to the same line-up which coasted to a nine-wicket win against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Wednesday. Spearhead seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar misses out with an injury, and left-arm spinner Jagadeesha Suchith made the cut.
The Hyderabad bowling attack consists of two frontline seamers and as many spinners. Their four overseas players are Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Kane Williamson and Rashid.
