Delhi Capitals aim to build on their winning start as they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in an afternoon showdown at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 30.
DC opened their IPL 2025 campaign with a dramatic one-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing 210, they stumbled early, losing four wickets inside the powerplay. However, Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma steadied the ship with a 48-run stand before Vipraj Nigam’s late fireworks sealed the win with three balls to spare. The Capitals will be further boosted by the return of KL Rahul, who missed the opener for personal reasons.
Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad began their season in dominant fashion, crushing Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs thanks to a batting blitz from Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Kumar Reddy. However, they faltered against Lucknow, managing 190/0 on a batting-friendly pitch before succumbing to a five-wicket defeat. Rishabh Pant’s side will look to bounce back against Delhi and regain their early-season momentum.

Delhi Capitals Team News
KL Rahul's return adds much-needed solidity to Delhi's batting order, which looked vulnerable in the previous game. Ashutosh Sharma's finishing ability will also be key. With the ball, Mitchell Starc must strike early in the powerplay, or Mohit Sharma and Mukesh Kumar could struggle to contain SRH's aggressive lineup. Kuldeep Yadav's wrist spin might be crucial in breaking partnerships during the middle overs.
DC Probable Playing XI Against SRH
Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, KL Rahul/Sameer Rizvi, Abishek Porel (wk), Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News
For SRH, Abhishek Sharma can be a game-changer if he gets through the early phase, while Heinrich Klaasen will be eager to make amends after an unfortunate run-out last time.
Bowling remains a concern for Hyderabad. Simarjeet Singh has leaked runs in the powerplay, while Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins have taken wickets but haven't been economical. Adam Zampa, a usually reliable spinner, has struggled with his lengths. Unless SRH tightens up their bowling, they could find themselves under pressure again.
