With three wins and as many losses, Sunrisers have collected six points from six matches. Capitals also have six points, with their five matches comprising three wins and two defeats.

It managed to do so by sneaking past Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Garden City on Saturday. Truth be told, Axar Patel\u2019s men nearly bungled a chase of 176, but the fact that David Miller got them over the line in the final over must have been a source of relief. The South African had been on the bitter end of a taut chase against Gujarat Titans not long ago.<\/p>\n<p>Just as comforting for Capitals is the news that Axar is fit after retiring hurt on 26 against RCB due to cramps. \u201cHe is fine and ready,\u201d DC head coach Hemang Badani said on\u00a0Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the host, the batting is firing on all cylinders again. That Abhishek Sharma is back to his marauding best is a good sign, and with Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen also producing innings of substance, the top-order is in fine shape. On the bowling front, SRH has veered towards youthful zest by reposing faith in the pace pair of Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain and left-arm wrist-spinner Shivang Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>Will SRH\u2019s unbridled aggression hold sway? Or will Capitals\u2019 relative pragmatism prevail?<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Apr 20, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026-news-sunrisers-hyderabad-vs-delhi-capitals-preview-srh-dc-abhishek-sharma-axar-patel\/article70884937.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Distinct philosophies will be at work when Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hosts Delhi Capitals (DC) in an IPL-19 fixture at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Tuesday.
