The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 Qualifier 2 will pit Delhi Capitals (DC) against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhab𝐆i on Sunday.
Both the teams have taken rather contrasting paths to reach t🐭he top four and now only one of them can keep their chance of winning the coveted trophy alive.
The Shreyas Iyer-led DC registered seven wins from their first nine matches and despite the dip in the latter stages of the season, made it to the playoffs. However, they lost four games in a row before beating Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the last league stage game to seal a place in the Qualifier 1, where they lost against the defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI).
However, the top two finish after the conclusion of the league-stage has 🍬guaranteed them one more shot to reach the final and🐽 they will be looking to make the most of it.
SRH, Oo the other hand, had only three wins against their name from the first nine matches. But the David Warner-led side turned the tide and now made it to the Qualifier 2 registering four wins on the bounce – RCB in the Eliminator and against MI, RCB and DC (in the league stage).
Pitch Report
As seen in the Eliminator, the pitch on offer at the Sheikh Zaye⛎d Stadium is slightly on the slower side. While there is some swing with the new ball, the spinners have proven to be deadly on this surface with the square boundaries helping their cause.
With dew playing a🎶 big part in the second half of the match, both teams will look to chase after winning the toss.
