Here are three player battles to watch out for during DC vs SRH match:
1) Bhuvneshwar Kumar vs David Warner
In SRH’s home game against Delhi Capitals, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled an impressive spell, but unfortunately ended up on the losing side. Nevertheless, he demonstrated that he still has the skills to take on the best batsmen. In the upcoming match, he will face his former SRH teammate and talisman David Warner. Although they are good friends off the field, they have had some thrilling duels over the years. Both players are crucial for their respective teams, and a strong start will be essential for their chances of winning.
2) Marco Jansen vs Mitchell Marsh
Marco Jansen has been quietly impressive this season, making an impact in all formats. He has been an excellent support for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and his ability to get the ball to rear up from a length could pose a challenge to the struggling Mitchell Marsh. The all-rounder came into the tournament with a strong record, but has not been able to replicate his form. He will be hoping to break out of his slump and take on the pace of Jansen.
3) Anrich Nortje vs Aiden Markram
Anrich Nortje has been the standout bowler for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023, bowling relentlessly regardless of support from his teammates. He will look to test SRH’s top batsman, Aiden Markram, in challenging batting conditions in Delhi. SRH has relied heavily on Markram’s runs for their wins so far, and he will aim to score off Nortje’s pace, particularly square off the wicket. However, Nortje will aim to bowl straight at the stumps to deny Markram any room to score.
