Sunrisers Hyderabad
For SRH, Abhishek Sharma has been a revelation at the top, smashing 314 runs from 10 games at a blistering strike rate of 180.46, including a stunning 141.

His power-hitting at the death has been one of the few bright spots for Hyderabad.
On the bowling front, Harshal Patel leads SRH’s wicket charts with 13 wickets in 9 matches, albeit with an expensive economy rate of 9.50. Pat Cummins, the marquee signing, has struggled for control, going at 9.64 runs per over, though his leadership and experience remain invaluable.

Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, are riding on the supreme form of KL Rahul, who has amassed 371 runs at an average of 53.00, striking at 146.06. His three fifties have come at critical junctures, and he will again be the pivot of the Delhi batting lineup.

In the bowling department, DC have an edge. Mitchell Starc has found rhythm with 14 wickets in 10 games, including a five-wicket haul, though his economy has been on the higher side (10.17). Kuldeep Yadav has been economical and incisive, picking up 12 wickets at 6.74 runs per over, making him a key middle-over weapon.
