The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is nearing its climax, and Match 56 between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) is set to be a crucial encounter. This blog shares the SRH vs DC Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, and useful insights to help you create a strong fantasy team.
Match Preview
SRH are currently in ninth place with only three wins out of ten matches. They are close to getting knocked out of the tournament. To stay in the race for the playoffs, they must win all their remaining matches and hope other results go their way. Pat Cummins is leading the side, but the team has not been able to repeat the strong batting shows seen earlier in the season. They depend too much on openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, which has exposed weaknesses in the middle order.
Delhi Capitals are in a better position, holding fifth place with six wins in ten matches. A win in this match could push them into the top four and boost their playoff hopes. With Axar Patel as captain, DC have shown good fight. KL Rahul’s return has added stability to their batting.
They also have an edge, having beaten SRH by seven wickets earlier in Visakhapatnam in Match 10 on March 30, 2025. In that match, DC’s bowlers dominated, with Mitchell Starc picking up five wickets. Faf du Plessis then scored a quick half-century to seal the win.

SRH vs DC Dream11 Prediction
Wicketkeepers:
- Heinrich Klaasen (SRH): Klaasen has been SRH’s most consistent middle-order batter, amassing 987 runs since IPL 2023 with a strike rate above 190. His ability to dominate spinners on Hyderabad’s batting-friendly pitch makes him a must-pick.
- KL Rahul (DC): DC’s leading run-scorer in IPL 2025 with 371 runs in 9 matches at an average of 53, Rahul is reliable at No. 4. His recent form (including a fifty in the last five games) ensures steady points.
Batsmen:
- Travis Head (SRH): SRH’s explosive opener has 681 runs since joining in 2024, including a 32-ball 89 against DC last season. With 114 runs in IPL 2025 at a strike rate of 193.22, he’s a top captaincy option on a flat Hyderabad track.
- Abhishek Sharma (SRH): Abhishek’s aggressive starts (484 runs in IPL 2024 at a 204 strike rate) and part-time spin bowling add versatility. His 141-run knock earlier this season highlights his potential.
- Jake Fraser-McGurk (DC): DC’s young opener is a powerplay dynamo, scoring quick runs in Visakhapatnam earlier (Match 10). His 38% ownership makes him a safe pick for small leagues.
All-rounders:
- Vipraj Nigam (DC): DC’s emerging all-rounder has shown promise in IPL 2025, notably with a quickfire 39 off 15 balls in Match 10 against SRH. His ability to contribute with the bat in the lower middle order and bowl off-spin on Hyderabad’s spin-friendly pitch makes him a differential captaincy pick for fantasy teams.
- Nitish Kumar Reddy (SRH): SRH’s emerging all-rounder strengthens the middle order and bowls handy overs. His 44-run contribution in Match 10 vs DC shows his value.
Bowlers:
- Pat Cummins (SRH): SRH’s skipper has 10 wickets in 10 IPL 2025 matches and excels in crunch moments. His 3/35 against RR earlier this season makes him a vice-captain pick.
- Mitchell Starc (DC): DC’s lead pacer has 14 wickets in 10 matches, making him a wicket-taking threat, especially in the powerplay and death overs.
- Kuldeep Yadav (DC): With 12 wickets against right-handers since IPL 2024, Kuldeep thrives on Hyderabad’s spin-friendly surface. His 2/20 in Visakhapatnam adds to his appeal.
- Harshal Patel (SRH): Harshal’s death-bowling prowess (20 wickets vs right-handers since 2024) and four wickets in Visakhapatnam make him a a differential pick.
Captain: KL Rahul
Vice-Captain: Pat Cummins
Match Prediction – Who Will Win SRH vs DC?
Despite SRH’s strong batting lineup featuring Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen, their inconsistent season (three wins, six losses) and recent 38-run defeat to Gujarat Titans expose vulnerabilities. DC, with a balanced unit led by KL Rahul and Mitchell Starc’s lethal bowling, have shown resilience, though they’re coming off back-to-back losses.
Note: Fantasy cricket involves an element of luck, and player performances can vary. It’s advisable to stay updated with the latest team news and player form before finalizing your team.
