Eshan Malinga — 8 wickets this season, 3/29 last match. Bowls when DC chase — dew makes his yorkers harder to hit but also makes the ball skid. Takes wickets in early chase overs. Form: 3/29 | 1/34 | 2/18 | 0/38 | 2/27

SRH vs DC Dream11 Team Win Probability — BattingFirst Prediction
SRH 55% | DC 45%
DC won the toss and chose correctly — but SRH batting first on their home ground with the best powerplay batting pair in IPL 2026 is still a strong position. Klaasen has never scored less than 26 in 4 innings at this ground. If SRH post 195+, their bowling will defend it. If DC get a target under 185, Rahul and Stubbs will chase it comfortably.
Our final prediction: SRH post 188–205, DC fall 10–18 runs short.
Who Will Win SRH vs DC Today’s IPL Match?
SRH batting first is their preferred format — all 3 of their wins this season came defending totals. The Orange Army at home on a flat deck with Klaasen in the form of his life is a dangerous prospect. Delhi’s bowling is excellent but Abhishek Sharma at 229 SR can take any attack apart in 6 overs.
DC’s best chance: Kuldeep taking Klaasen and Head early in overs 8–12. If DC restrict SRH to under 175, the chase becomes straightforward for Rahul and Stubbs.
Verdict: SRH win by 12–18 runs in a high-scoring thriller.
