[Saba Sports News] Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 35 of IPL 2024 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. DC captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and chose to field first. Coming off consecutive victories, DC made adjustments to their playing XI.
They had to replace right-arm seamer Ishant Sharma, who suffered a back spasm just before the toss. Ishant, with six wickets from six matches this season, at an average of 27.66 and an economy of 9.76, was replaced by speedster Anrich Nortje. Nortje, who has picked six wickets from four games, has an average of 35.83 and an economy of 13.43.
DC’s southpaw, who has scored 166 runs from six innings at an average of 27.66 and a strike rate of 138.33 with one half-century, hasn’t had a memorable season. Meanwhile, SRH, buoyed by three consecutive victories, maintained their playing XI.
