On Wednesday, September 22, the Delhi Capitals will meet the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match No. 33 of the 2021 Indian Premier League at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Jonny Bairstow's withdrawal from the second match has dealt a setback to the Sunrisers, who are headed by Kane Williamson.
In the first leg, Bairstow was their leading run scorer. Because of Bairstow's absence, David Warner, who is no longer SRH's captain, may return to the top of the order. Sherfane Rutherford, who was in fine form in the CPL in 2021, has been named as Bairstow's successor by the Sunrisers.

Pitch Report:
The batting surface in Dubai has been quite good. However, as the game progresses, the track becomes a little more difficult to bat on. As a result, batting first and scoring runs should be the strategy. Both the spinners and the pacers are likely to receive equal assistance.
Average first innings score: 171 (Last 28 IPL matches in Dubai)
Probable Playing XI Delhi Capitals:
Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Steven Smith/Shimron Hetmyer, Rishabh Pant (C and WK), Marcus Stoinis, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Avesh Khan
Probable Playing XI Sunrisers Hyderabad:
David Warner, Kane Williamson (C), Wriddhiman Saha, Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Mohammad Nabi/Sherfane Rutherford/Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed
Probable best batsman of DC vs SRH Match 33: Delhi Capitals - Shikhar Dhawan
In April, Shikhar Dhawan was in fantastic form in the first leg of the IPL 2021. With 380 runs scored at an average of 54.28 and a strike rate of 134.27, the left-hander is now the tournament's best run scorer. The veteran has looked in dangerous form after scoring three fifties. He'll be hoping to pick up where he left off four months ago.
Probable best bowler of DC vs SRH Match 33: Rashid Khan– Sunrisers Hyderabad
In the 2021 season of the IPL, Rashid Khan was the Sunrisers' only performer. The Afghanistan tweaker has taken 10 wickets at a 6.14 economy rate in seven matches. Others, on the other hand, haven't been too supportive of him. Rashid can't afford to let his guard down if the Sunrisers are to overcome the Capitals.
DC vs SRH Match 33 Prediction: Delhi Capitals to win this match.
