He made this observation while previewing tonight’s IPL 2020 encounter between the two sides in a video shared on his YouTube channel.

Aakash Chopra started by pointing out that the Delhi Capitals have fallen off the pedestal a little bit due to below-par performances in their last couple of matches. He added that there are some uncertainties in their lineup.

The reputed commentator observed that a few things have gone awry for the Delhi Capitals recently and that they seem too dependent on Shikhar Dhawan on the batting front.

He was quick to add that the Delhi Capitals are one of the strongest teams in IPL 2020 and should win this match to secure a place in the IPL 2020 playoffs.

Talking about the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Aakash Chopra pointed out that their inability to chase down an easy target in the last match could have put paid to their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.

The former KKR player added that if the David Warner-led outfit come up short against the Delhi Capitals tonight, they will become the second team to be eliminated from the tournament.

Chopra observed that the Sunrisers Hyderabad are unlikely to make any changes, even if Kane Williamson is fit, as they would require Jason Holder in their bowling attack against a strong Delhi Capitals batting unit.
