J&K all-rounder Abdul Samad

Delhi Capitals defeated Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings in their previous two matches. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a nightmarish start to their campaign losing to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders.

David Warner- Not too disappointed with that, we fell short by 20-30 runs, we now have the bowling to defend scores. Two changes for us - KW comes in for Nabi, Samad for Saha. We have our plans for the bowling group, just need to stick to it

Kane Williamson

Shreyas Iyer - We will bowl first, the dew might play a role in the second innings. Our preparations and training has been on point, the frame of mind is good. One change for us - Ishant comes in for Avesh Khan. Each one know their roles in the team well, they have stood up for the cause.

Pitch report:This pitch has already been used. It has been batsmen's paradise so far, but spinners will get plenty of assistance from the slow and cracky conditions.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Jonny Bairstow(w), Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Abdul Samad, Abhishek Sharma, Priyam Garg, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, K Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan
