Sunrisers Hyderabad takes on Delhi Capitals later on tonight with both teams looking to secure their berth in the IPL 2020 playoffs.
Purple and Orange Cap holders
The Orange Cap race is still led by KL Rahul, the Kings XI Punjab skipper and it looks like only Shikhar Dhawan of Delhi Capitals has the chance to catch up with him with only four games to go. Rahul and Dhawan have been in magnificent form and it will be close tussle between the two star players. However, the fight for the Purple cap has intensified after the KKR vs KXIP clash. Kagiso Rabada is still leading the pack with 23 wickets in 11 games, meanwhile, Mohammed Shami is close second on 20 wickets after 12 matches played.
