Today Match Prediction for SRH vs DC Dream11:With just 1 win in 4 games, Sunrisers Hyderabad are having a tough time in the IPL 2021. But the good thing for the franchise is that the team won their last game and will be in a positive mindset. The middle order will be under the scanner once again but with Williamson at three, SRH will be relieved. Their bowlers have done well so far and it will be an exciting contest to watch the battles like Bhuvi vs Dhawan and Rashid vs Rishabh Pant. Meanwhile, Delhi have stayed in the top half of the points table despite chinks in their amour thanks to superlative form or their top order. Delhi has won 3 of their 4 games and a win here will help them bag a place in top 2.
Even Delhi Capitals, another side that is renowned for having free-flowing batsmen in their XI, ended up swatting aside the defending champions in their only game here in Chepauk so far. That win would have given them enough confidence to add two more points to their tally on Sunday (April 25) before moving to Ahmedabad. But having found a way to accommodate both Jonny Bairstow and Williamson has given SRH a much-needed boost as well. DC need to win in order to keep pace with CSK and RCB while SRH will be keen on building some momentum in order to climb up the ladder. There's plenty riding on the final game in Chepauk this season.
Unavailable: T Natarajan has been ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury. Abdul Samad missed the last game with a hamstring issue and is unlikely to be rushed back.
Playing Combination: Warner has had starts this season but a big score has eluded him. In order to have another crack on Sunday, he will have to get through Ravichandran Ashwin. The offspinner has had a pretty good record against the left-hander having kept him tied down. Kedar Jadhav didn't get a chance to bat on his debut for SRH and the management will be keen on giving him a proper go.

J Bairstow is breathing fire every time he bats in this IPL. He has scores of 63*, 43, 12, and 55 in four outings in IPL 2021 so far. He has made 173 runs so far at an average of 57.66 and has a strike-rate of 132.06.
K Ahmed was terrific in the last game as he picked 3 wickets for 21 runs in 4 overs. His left-arm angle would be effective here. He has 31 wickets in 19 IPL games so far and averages 19.74 with a strike-rate of 13.83.
It is imperative for the Capitals to ensure Steve Smith hangs in there to take on Rashid Khan. Being the best batsman against spin in that lineup, DC will have to use Smith to handle the opposition's biggest threat, especially on this surface. Avesh Khan has been reliable at the death for the Capitals this season. On current form, he will be expected to come out on top against the vulnerable SRH finishers. Axar Patel has joined the group but with Lalit Yadav and Amit Mishra doing well, the left-arm spinner is not expected to break into the XI straightaway.
Delhi Capitals Playing 11
A Mishra made great use of the Chennai pitch against MI as picked 4 wickets for 24 runs in 4 overs. Expect him to do the same in this match. He is very experienced and has 164 wickets in 152 IPL games. He averages 19.53 with the ball and has an average of 23.91.
S Dhawan is in fine form and is scoring big runs at the top of the order. He made 45 runs off 42 balls in the previous match. He has scored 231 runs so far in this season at an average of 57.75 and a strike-rate of 148.07. He has scored 2 fifties in 4 innings.
Both teams have good fire power. However the one who adjusts to Chennai’s slow pitch better will be the winner. This is where DC has an advantage as their middle order has more depth. So in the SRH vs DC match, DC will win today’s Dream11 today match prediction
