Sunrisers Hyderabad are taking on Delhi Capitals in the 2023 IPL.
The match is scheduled to start at 7.30pm local time (3pm BST) on Monday, April 24.
The game will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
This match sees the two sides currently occupying the bottom-two spots in the IPL table go up against each either.
Delhi Capitals are propping up the league, having picked up just one win from their six matches so far. However, their last outing saw them register the first of their 2023 campaign, beating Kolkata Knight Riders by four wickets in a low-scoring affair.
Ishant Sharma, playing his first IPL match since May 2021, starred with the ball, ending with figures of 2 for 19 as they limited KKR to 127. David Warner scored his fourth half century of the season in the successful chase, ending a run of five straight defeats.
Sunrisers’ form has once again slumped after recovering from a poor start to the season, losing two games in a row for the second time this season. They managed to bounce back from two defeats at the start of their campaign to go on a two-game winning run. This saw two quite dominant victories, beating Punjab Kings by eight wickets, and KKR by 23 runs.
However, they were unable to build from this momentum, falling to defeats against Mumbai and Chennai to see them down to ninth, and four points away from the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals will be without pace bowler Kamlesh Nagarkoti for the remainder of the 2023 tournament due to a back injury.
Sunrisers have no fresh injury concerns to worry about.
Ishant Sharma was the star of the show in their first win of the season, showing his quality despite not featuring in last season's IPL in any capacity.
However, his effectiveness may be limited against Sunrisers opener Mayank Agarwal, who has certainly taken a liking to his Indian counterpart in the four innings he has gone up against him.
He has faced 21 balls bowled by Sharma in T20s, with six of them going to the boundary, including two sixes. Agarwal is also yet to be dismissed by the Indian international, striking at 185.71 against his fast bowling.
A fast start from Agarwal against Sharma could be exactly what Sunrisers need against Dehli Capitals to get their season back on track.
Matches played: 21
Sunrisers Hyderabad wins: 11

Thundery showers are forecasted in Hyderabad for the match, with a 20 per cent chance of rain. Despite this, it will still be warm, with it feeling like 32 degrees Celsius despite the forecast only saying 26 degrees.
