SRH Vs DC: Pitch Report
Considered to be a high-scoring venue, the pitch here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium typically favours batsmen with its even bounce and flat nature. There have been some surprises in matches played here over the last couple of games. In the last game, Sunrisers could only manage 143 batting first a total easily chased in less than 16 overs. This means that although the pitch might look batter-friendly on paper, it is now providing some movement and grip to the pacers, particularly in lights.

Seamers should be able to get decent help early on from the new ball, especially if there is some grass or remaining moisture on the surface. The spinners would enter the mix in the middle overs, though even then, this is predicted to be one ground where batting is going to be rewarded in case the batters put themselves in.
SRH Vs DC: Toss Strategy
With dew not being a significant factor in evening matches at this ground thus far, the toss decision could still prove crucial. Captains may want to chase, with the uncertainty of how the pitch plays in the first innings and with previous performances indicating that teams have found it easier to manage their innings while batting second.
