Delhi Capitals Preview

The Delhi Capitals are experiencing a mixed run of form since the start of the ongoing Indian Premier League, as they have only managed three wins from their opening six games. The Capitals have now suffered three defeats from their last four games after they were beaten by 47 runs in their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. During the defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad, DC chased a target of 242 runs but could only reach 195 for 9 in their 20 overs.
