DC vs SRH tip-off XI: Prithvi Shaw to miss out, Mayank Agarwal to open with Brook, Abdul Samad to fill in for Washington Sundar

Here are the playing XI tip-off for DC vs SRH:

Prithvi Shaw to miss out

Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw has so far had a torrid run in the tournament and has been dropped out of the playing XI. Earlier, DC Head Coach Ricly Ponting made it clear that Shaw has failed to provide that spark at the top of the order, and he is currently not in the scheme of things anymore.

Mayank Agarwal to open with Brook

Sunrisers Hyderabad have altered their opening batting partnership a lot this season and haven’t found a stable opening-duo yet. In tonight’s game, Mayank Agarwal could open the innings alongside England’s prolific batter Harry Brook. If this doesn’t happen, another possible partner for IPL 2023’s first centurion could be Abhishek Sharma.

Abdul Samad to replace Sundar

After sustaining an injury Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the remainder of the IPL 2023. With him being absent, SRH are in desperate need of a finisher at number 7 and Abdul Samad, who has contributed twice in the team’s favour with his fiery cameos looks like a desirable candidate.

DC vs SRH Pitch Report: The Delhi surface has historically been a fast bowler’s ally, but the shorter dimensions at the location will aid the hitters in their effort to make a significant score. According to recent game patterns, the team winning the toss would be inclined to bat first at this location.
