The match between Delhi Capitals, currently ranked 6th with 3 wins and 4 losses in 7 matches, and Sunrisers Hyderabad, ranked 4th with 4 wins and 2 losses in 6 matches, will take place in New Delhi at 7.30pm IST (2pm GMT).


Team Updates and Key Player Strategies

Delhi Capitals' head coach Ricky Ponting expressed optimism about opener David Warner's potential return from a finger injury. Ponting noted that Warner was around "85-90%" fit during their last match in Ahmedabad. However, a final decision on his availability for Saturday's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad will be made after assessing his training on the eve of the game. 



If Warner is back, he might replace Sumit Kumar directly, considering that Capitals fielded their last match with only three overseas players. Alternatively, Shai Hope or Jake Fraser-McGurk could be swapped out if the team prefers not to alter their batting order significantly.

Probable XII for Delhi Capitals:

1. Prithvi Shaw

2. David Warner

3. Jake Fraser-McGurk/Shai Hope

4. Abishek Porel

5. Rishabh Pant (captain & wicketkeeper)

6. Tristan Stubbs

7. Axar Patel

8. Sumit Kumar

9. Kuldeep Yadav

10. Ishant Sharma

11. Mukesh Kumar

12. Khaleel Ahmed

Sunrisers Hyderabad boasts a fully fit squad and is likely to field the same lineup as their last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. While Travis Head has been the player substituted when batting first and included while chasing, the team might start with or introduce Mayank Markande depending on the coin toss. 

However, if they face a batting collapse while setting a target, Rahul Tripathi is also a viable option.

Probable XII for Sunrisers Hyderabad:

1. Travis Head

2. Abhishek Sharma

3. Aiden Markram

4. Heinrich Klaasen (wicketkeeper)

5. Abdul Samad

6. Nitish Kumar Reddy

7. Shahbaz Ahmed

8. Pat Cummins (captain)

9. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

10. Jaydev Unadkat
