SRH vs DC, IPL 2023: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 34 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday, April 24. Delhi and Hyderabad have been two of the most underperforming sides in the ongoing edition and thus find themselves at the bottom of the points table.

SRH have only two wins to their name from six games. In their last match, they went down to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by seven wickets at Chepauk. The batting again let the franchise down as they only managed 134/7. Harry Brook, Rahul Tripathi, and skipper Aiden Markram will have to lift their game for sure.

After five consecutive defeats, DC finally got their first points on the board with a scratchy win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Delhi’s bowlers did exceptionally well to bundle out KKR for 127. Their batting, though, floundered again despite a fluent David Warner fifty. They somehow sneaked home in the end.

Today's SRH vs DC pitch report

According to Pommie Mbangwa and Kevin Pietersen, much sideways movement is not expected. The ball doesn't swing for a long time. It's not grassy enough for it not to spin. It's dry enough for it to grip a little bit. If you are batting first, this is a 180-run wicket.
