Sunrisers Hyderabad will aim to capitalise on home conditions when they face Delhi Capitals in a mid-table IPL clash on Tuesday. Both sides are level on six points, with SRH placed fourth due to a superior net run rate, albeit having played one extra game. For Hyderabad, the season has been about steady improvement. In the absence of skipper Pat Cummins — who has joined the squad but remains unavailable — their bowling initially looked underpowered. However, lesser-known names such as Praful Hinge, Sakib Husain and Shivang Kumar have stepped up in recent matches, adding both discipline and energy to the attack. Hinge impressed against the Rajasthan Royals, and that was followed by a strong all-round bowling display against the Chennai Super Kings, led by Eshan Malinga. Their excellent death bowling in that game helped secure consecutive home wins, marking a clear turnaround in their fortunes with the ball.
