Match number 35 against the Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Arun Jaitley Stadium will mark the 2024 IPL's inaugural visit to the nation's capital. The Indian T20 League's 17th season is shaping up to be one of the most intensely competitive, with anyone able to defeat anybody, no matter where they are in the rankings. Delhi has won two games in a row and is returning home with a lot of confidence, especially after their crushing victory against Gujarat in Ahmedabad. Delhi is concerned about David Warner's availability after he was forced to miss the previous game owing to a niggle. But Prithvi Shaw, Tristan Stubbs, Shai Hope, and captain Rishabh Pant of Delhi have enough skill to make up for his absence.
Hyderabad, on the other hand, has won their last three games. Pat Cummins and his team are determined to advance this time around despite not having made it to the postseason since 2020. It should be an entertaining match because both teams are full of confidence after recent successes. Who will be the ultimate ruler? We will investigate.

The Kotla wicket has a reputation for being sluggish and low, making it difficult for hitters to score runs. However, since the 2023 ODI World Cup, the pitch's characteristics have substantially changed. The Arun Jaitley Stadium wicket did turn slow occasionally, although for batters, this was usually the case when the ball came to bat. Even yet, the team batting second may find it challenging to chase the target due to the dry conditions.
