Visakhapatnam is set to host the opening clash of Sunday’s doubleheader, featuring a high-stakes encounter between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The two teams arrive with contrasting forms: DC started their season on a winning note, having played just one match so far, while SRH suffered a defeat in their second game of the season against Lucknow Super Giants at home.
DC vs SRH head to head in IPL
The rivalry between these two sides has been evenly balanced over the years, with SRH holding a slight advantage in their 24 previous IPL meetings. However, one area where SRH clearly outshines DC is in their title achievements. The Hyderabad franchise boasts an IPL trophy, having clinched the championship in 2016, and narrowly missed adding a second title in 2024 after losing to the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, in the final. In contrast, DC is still chasing their first-ever IPL trophy, despite being part of the league for 17 years.
