Delhi Capitals (DC) will try to keep up the momentum as they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Arun Jaitley Stadium (previously known as Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium) in New Delhi on April 20, Saturday). After playing two games in Vishakhapatnam, Delhi will be happy to be back at their home ground.
In IPL 2023, Delhi Capitals (DC) didn’t benefit much from playing at home, winning just two out of seven matches. Typically, their batsmen have found it hard to perform well in the slow conditions at home, while their bowlers have faced challenges due to the short boundaries.

IPL 2024, 35th Game: DC vs SRH, Pitch Report
In previous years, the Kotla pitch was slow and challenging for batsmen to score on. But since the ODI World Cup in 2023, things have improved. Though the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch is sometimes slow, it mostly benefits batsmen as the ball behaves very predictable for the batters. However, the dry weather in Delhi could make it tough for the team batting second to chase a target.
