Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bowl against Delhi Capital on Monday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League.
The playoff race is getting hot, and Sunrisers require a win to keep themselves as they stand on the verge of elimination. On the other hand, Delhi Capital has lost three of its last four fixtures and the qualifications stand just outside the bracket. DCs sit fifth with 12 points and will be eager to win their campaign again. SRH has made a bold call as he dropped all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy for do-or-dai stability.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins explained his decision to bowl and said, “We will bowl. We have talked about some things, we have not yet a complete game. The basics want to do well. It is about giving themselves a chance, and everyone is a match-guard. We were not very deeply.
During the toss time, Delhi’s capital captain Exer Patel said, “Must have been fielded before, looks like a good wicket and it should not change much. To get a good score and look at them to ban them. The final stages are here and trying to play along with these games. We are under pressure.
