Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals are set to lock horns on Monday in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad.
The ground has a capacity of 55,000 and is considered one of the modern venues in India.
The home team head into this fixture on the back of a seven-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings. After a dismal show with the bat which saw them post just 134 in 20 overs, Devon Conway (77 off 57) toyed with their bowling to inflict a heavy defeat on the two-time champions.

Meanwhile, DC finally got their first win of the tournament as they triumphed against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by four wickets. They would look to build on that momentum and upset SRH who have been far from fluent with both bat and ball.
Here is a comprehensive guide on the pitch report, live toss, predicted lineups, team news, free stream and TV details ahead of SRH versus DC.
SRH vs DC: Pitch report
The match between SRH and DC will be held at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
The stadium has a flat wicket and is generally considered a batting-friendly pitch. The average first-innings score at the venue in IPL 2023 is 179, while the average first-innings winning score happens to be 197.5.
Pommie Mbangwa and Kevin Pietersen: Square boundaries - 69 metres and 61 metres. Straight hit - 76 metres. I don't think there'll be that much sideways movement. The ball doesn't swing for a long time. It's not grassy enough for it not to spin. We think it's dry enough for it to grip a little bit. If you are batting first, this is a 180 wicket.
In the previous match, MI posted 192 on the board batting first. In response, SRH was bowled out for 178 in 19.5 overs.
