IPL 2019 Eliminator, SRH vs DC preview: Sunrisers Hyderbad, Delhi Capitals have uphill task to deliver in absence of star performers
FirstpostDelhi Capitals have won five away games while Sunrisers Hyderabad do not have such a glorious record of playing in conditions that are not entirely their own Their shadows are so strong that Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad will have to leave them in the dressing rooms of the YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam when they square up against one another in the Indian Premier League Eliminator on Wednesday. There can be no doubt that Delhi Capitals’ paceman Kagiso Rabada and Sunrisers Hyderabad openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow have been such standout performers that their absence can be telling. Sunrisers Hyderabad will be hard pressed to breach Delhi Capitals but that can happen if their bowlers apply all the pressure they possibly can and their batsmen, for once, play smart cricket to be able to convert that slight advantage that their attack can lend the team. Will Delhi Capitals miss Rabada’s strike power with the cricket ball more than Sunrisers Hyderabad long for David Warner and Jonny Bairstow?
