7.00 pm The word from the middle is that Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and chosen to bat first.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Aiden Markram says, “Washy a big loss for us. But it’s an opportunity for someone to cement their spot in the team. Akeal Hosein makes his debut for us. Abdul Samad also comes into the XI.”
Delhi Capitals captain David Warner says, “Home and away is a bit challenging but we are enjoying it. We have one change: Aman Khan is out and Priyam Garg makes his debut for us.”

6.30 pm Hello and welcome to ESPNcricinfo’s live coverage of the second half of today’s 2023 Indian Premier League doubleheader as Delhi Capitals host Sunrisers Hyderabad. I’m Peter Della Penna to take you through the action.
Today is a rematch from the two teams taking each other on just a few days earlier in Hyderabad in which Delhi prevailed. Both teams are still anchored to the bottom of the table and trying to dig their way out. Abhimanyu Bose has more in today’s preview.
Another compelling subplot for not just this encounter but for the entire 2023 season has been Harry Brook’s story arc for Hyderabad. After fetching a million-pound price tag in the auction, he has scored one century but also had a series of very low scores with a total of 63 runs in his other six innings to take the sheen off of that. Alagappan Muthu further explores Brook’s struggle to prove he belongs in the IPL.
