With the clash between Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad set to take place today, cricketer-turned-commenter Aakash Chopra has predicted the winner of the clash. The former Indian batsman backed the Rishabh Pant-led side to emerge victorious in the clash.

Chopra was of the opinion that Delhi Capitals will win the watch as SRH is in the poor and if they lose one match there chances are very less to win the tournament and they will be under pressure to perform.

“I’m going with Delhi to win this match. It’s because my heart lies in Delhi and also due to SRH’s poor form in the tournament. If Hyderabad loses one more game, then that’s about it. Then SRH’s chances will come down to mathematical calculations. So SRH will be under pressure to perform well,” Chopra said on his official YouTube channel.
