SRH won the toss and opted to bowl against DC in the 55th match of the IPL at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
“We haven’t had a complete game yet. Need to get the basics right. Support has been amazing, but we haven’t had the results here,” says Pat Cummins.
“We would have bowled first as well. We are at the last phase of the tournament and we know we have to win matches. All players have contributed but we need to carry the momentum when we do well. We are going with the same combination,” says Axar Patel
SRH, who are ninth on the points table and are still mathematically in the playoff contention, will look to give it their all to keep the hopes alive.
For the Delhi side, currently at the fifth position on the points table, the win will have massive playoff implications after they just won two of their last six matches.
