While Delhi enjoys 2 out of 2 victories and sits on top of the points table, Hyderabad is yet to open their points account in the season. Here's a look at the points table before the clash: 

The conditions at the venue for Delhi vs Hyderabad game are favourable for the batsmen. Pacers can make an instant impact with the new ball while spinners do not have much for themselves in the pitch. However, bowling slow will be the key for spinners. The average first innings score at this venue in the Dream11 IPL 2020 so far is 166 which is why a high-scoring game is expected. According to the Delhi vs Hyderabad pitch report, the team chasing here has won one and lost one in the Dream11 IPL 2020 so far. With Hyderabad losing their last game against KKR at the same venue batting first, David Warner might be tempted to gamble with bowling first.

While so far the year 2020 has been held accountable for the worst moments in history and has delivered mostly bad news, the IPL 2020 is beginning to change the perspective. With only 10 matches into the tournament, the IPL 2020 has delivered nail-biting finishes, jaw-dropping moments, 2 super-overs, and a complete package of entertainment. As the season progresses and gets more competitive, nothing short of it is expected. Moving on from the thrilling super over encounter last night in Dubai, action now moves to Abu Dhabi for the Match 11 of IPL 2020 as Hyderabad gear up to face Delhi on Tuesday. 

While Hyderabad has failed to register a victory in the season so far, Delhi on the other hand, will be riding high on confidence after winning two matches on the trot. The two teams had last met in the playoffs in IPL 2019 where Shreyas Iyer & Co. had triumphed. The young Delhi side continues to pull new tricks out of its hat and seems the most competitive it has in the past few years. New joinees such as Marcus Stoinis and Andrich Nortje have upped their performance scale as the squad eyes their maiden title victory this year. 

Meanwhile, David Warner & Co. might have not had their dream start to the tournament, but Hyderabad can never be shunned of with ease. The one-time titleholders will surely look to bounce back strongly in the 2-month long tournament. Skipper David Warner will be looking forward to leading the side from front as he steps out to bat in Abu Dhabi tonight. He would also be eyeing to solve the middle-order problem faced by Hyderabad and with the availability of Kane Williamson now, it remains to see what changes do Hyderabad make to their playing XI.
