SRH vs DC Prediction: Who will Win IPL 2026 Match Today?

Sunrisers Hyderabad will be up against Delhi Capitals in Match 31 of IPL 2026 on Tuesday, April 21, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

SRH sit fourth on the points table with six points from six matches (three wins, three losses). They have won their last two encounters, a narrow 10-run defence against Chennai Super Kings and a victory over Rajasthan Royals, and will bank on home conditions to make it three in a row.

Delhi Capitals also have six points but from five games and come into this fixture on the back of a thrilling last-over win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

SRH vs DC H2H Record

The head-to-head record is nearly even. In 26 previous IPL meetings, SRH have won 13, DC 12, and one match ended with no result. At Hyderabad, both sides have three wins each, underlining how competitive this fixture has been.

SRH vs DC Prediction

The pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has been a batting paradise this season, offering true bounce and excellent carry. High-scoring games are expected, though early seam movement and later dew could influence decisions. The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first, as chasing has often proved advantageous.

Key factors favour SRH slightly. Their explosive top order, led by Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, has been ruthless, while Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy provide middle-order firepower. With Pat Cummins unavailable, the bowling unit has still shown depth through Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain, and Eshan Malinga. DC, meanwhile, have struggled with middle-order consistency despite strong contributions from KL Rahul, David Miller, and Tristan Stubbs. Axar Patel’s return to fitness is a boost, but the absence of Mitchell Starc remains a concern.

Prediction

SRH’s aggressive approach gives them the edge in a run-fest, especially at home. DC can spring a surprise if their bowlers (Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar) restrict the PowerPlay. Overall, the prediction leans towards Sunrisers Hyderabad winning by 15-20 runs or with 4-5 wickets in hand. This mid-table clash could be a turning point for both sides’ playoff hopes.
