Faced with a do-or-die situation, the inconsistent Delhi Daredevils will take on table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad in their penultimate Indian Premier League match in Raipur on Friday.
The Daredevils have failed to build a consistent winning winning momentum throughout the league and they are coming into tomorrow's match with back-to-back defeats. With 12 points from 12 games, they need to win tomorrow's match against a confident Sunrisers at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium. A loss tomorrow will knock the Daredevils out of contention for a play-offs berth.
The Sunrisers, on the other hand, are virtually through to the play-offs and they are on top of the table with 16 points from 12 games. Despite being assured of a place in the play-offs, the Sunrisers would look to continue their impressive form as the league reaches its business end.
Daredevils' hopes for a play-offs berth suffered a huge jolt in their previous match when they lost to laggards Rising Pune Supergiants by 19 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis method. Their batting came a cropper in that match with only Karun Nair and Chris Morris making substantial contributions of 41 and 38 respectively.
Daredevils though have reason to be a bit upbeat as they had beaten Sunrisers in the first leg in Hyderabad and they would look to win their final two league matches at their 'home' ground in Raipur.
