In the last 5 IPL matches, SRH has performed strongly with 4 wins and only 1 loss, placing them fourth on the points table with a net run rate (NRR) of 0.502. On the other hand, DC has struggled somewhat, with 2 wins and 3 losses, and they sit ninth with an NRR of -0.975.

As the match unfolds, SRH will be looking to strengthen its position in the top half of the leaderboard, while DC needs a strong performance to improve its standing.
SRH is likely to hit the most sixes in the match given their dominant lineup, featuring Klaasen, who leads the tournament in sixes with Head and Abhishek.

Rishabh Pant, with a strong track record against SRH, will be crucial. He has scored 492 runs in 15 innings at an average of 49.2 and a strike rate of 148.6. Prithvi Shaw, who has hit 211 runs across 8 innings including 3 fifties, will also be vital for setting a solid foundation.
David Warner, facing his former team with whom he won the 2016 IPL title, has played them 5 times, managing to score a fifty once. The young duo, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs, could deliver powerful hits to counter SRHβs strong batting with their fearless approach.
Bowling-wise, Khaleel Ahmed, who took 3 wickets in his last and only match against his former team, needs to repeat his performance given his form. Although Anrich Nortje might be a risky bet due to his potential expense against SRH's hitters, Kuldeep Yadav's strategic spin could be key in containing them. He has 12 wickets in 13 innings at an economy of 7.74 vs SRH.
Expect Fraser-McGurk to bat up the order like the last match.
Predicted Lineup: Shaw, Warner, Fraser-McGurk, Pant (c & wk), Stubbs, Hope, Axar, Kuldeep, Mukesh, Ishant, Khaleel.

Expect SRH to continue their powerful batting display. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have been exceptional in the powerplay, consistently scoring over 70 runs in the first six overs during their last 3 matches.
Heinrich Klaasen, SRH's top scorer, along with Aiden Markram and Abdul Samad, have shown their capability as power hitters with high strike rates once they settle in at the crease.
Captain Cummins has been a standout performer. With 9 wickets in 6 matches, he is not only SRH's top wicket-taker but also their most economical bowler. T. Natarajan also impressed with 6 wickets in 4 games, showcasing his ability to maintain control in his bowling under pressure. Bhuvi has 17 wickets against Delhi and will look to capitalise favourable bowling conditions.
Expect the same winning lineup from their previous match.
Predicted Lineup: Head, Abhishek, Markram, Klaasen (wk), Samad, Reddy, Ahmed, Cummins (c), Bhuvi, Unadkat, Natarajan.
SRH areΒ a formidable force, especially in the power-hitting department. Travis Head, with 28 fours in just 5 matches, ranks second among the top boundary scorers this season.
Heinrich Klaasen is the leading six-hitter with 24 sixes, while Abhishek Sharma also makes a significant impact, sitting fourth with 18 sixes.
Both Head and Sharma have topped the charts for most sixes in a single match this season, and Klaasen has achieved this feat 3 times. Given SRH's explosive batting lineup and consistent performance, they are poised to dominate in their match against DC.
