Preview:
Delhi reached the finals of the Indian T20 League in the last season, but given the absentees they have had to deal with at the start of this season, it was expected that they will not be able to replicate similar performances. But defying all odds, Rishabh Pant’s team has been able to put up a good show so far.
They have won 3 of their first 4 games and at the time of writing, are sitting at the third position of the points table. On the other hand, Hyderabad started off with three consecutive defeats, but they found their mojo in the last game and went on to beat Punjab.
