Welcome to the coverage of the Indian Premier League match between Delhi Capitals and SunRisers Hyderabad, in Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday.

Delhi Capitals have made the perfect start to IPL, with two morale-boosting victories, while  SunRisers Hyderabad are the only side yet to register a win in the tournament, having lost both their games.

The Shreyas Iyer-led side edged past Kings XI Punjab in a thrilling Super Over before thrashing Chennai Super Kings comprehensively to jump to the top of the points table.

On the other hand, SunRisers will be desperate to turn things around after losing to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders.

For SunRisers to do bounce back, they would need to look beyond openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. The side must click as a batting unit to post its first win of the season, with the onus on the middle order to keep the runs coming at a good rate.

Against Kolkata Knight Riders, the middle-order failed to fire and the team settled for a below-par total which the bowling unit couldn't defend.

Wriddhiman Saha, particularly, struggled in the middle overs as Sunrisers finished with a below-par total.

Meanwhile, for Delhi, the South African pace duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje has looked sharp with the new ball while spinners Axar Patel and Amit Mishra have performed splendidly in the absence of Ravichandran Ashwin.

In the batting, Prithvi Shaw has gotten Delhi off to quick starts as veteran Shikhar Dhawan looks to get back his form.

Rishabh Pant and captain Shreyas Iyer have also looked in good nick, after rescuing the team from a spot of bother in the first game, as the duo pitched in with valuable runs against CSK.

Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has proved he is handy with the willow.
