IPL 2025, Match - 10 | DC vs SRH | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Delhi Capitals (DC) will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 10th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. DC kicked off their campaign with a tight victory, which should give them a morale boost. Meanwhile, SRH started strong but stumbled in their second outing with an unexpected home loss. 

Delhi Capitals kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a nail-biting victory over Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing 210 in Visakhapatnam, they found themselves struggling at 113-6 in 12.3 overs. But a stunning rescue act from Ashutosh Sharma (66* off 31) and young gun Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15) carried them over the line in the final over with just one wicket in hand. Delhi will be looking for more from their top and middle order. KL Rahul is expected to return after missing the first game. His presence in the middle brings much-needed stability to a batting lineup that looks fragile. With the ball, Delhi needs Mitchell Starc to strike early in the powerplay. Whereas, Kuldeep Yadav’s wrist spin could be a major weapon.

On the other hand, after a strong opening win against Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad looked set to continue their scintillating form. However, their momentum was halted by an unexpected loss to an understrength Lucknow Super Giants. Batting first on a favorable Hyderabad surface, SRH could only manage 190-9, a total LSG chased down with ease in just 16.1 overs. Travis Head (47 off 28) was the only batter to get going, while the rest struggled, falling in quick succession while trying to attack every delivery. This is the risk of SRH’s high-risk approach—when their top three fire, they can blow teams away with massive scores. But if they don’t, the batting collapses fast. Meanwhile, bowling remains SRH’s weak point.

Prediction

Delhi Capitals look well-balanced this season. Their batting lineup runs deep, as seen in their opening match, proving they have what it takes to beat any side. Sunrisers Hyderabad bring the most destructive batting unit in the competition. But their all-out attacking approach, combined with an inconsistent bowling lineup, can also backfire. Hence, DC are favourites to win this clash.
