Delhi Capitals take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2023 Indian Premier League.
The match is scheduled to start at 7.30pm local time (3pm BST) on Saturday, April 29.
The match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in Delhi.
Just five days after their last match-up, Delhi will look to win another bottom-of-the-table clash between two sides struggling for form in this year's competition.
They may well be sitting tenth in the league, but Delhi are enjoying something of a resurgence in recent times. They have now returned two consecutive wins after losing their first five matches of the season. This, at the very least, gives them a taste of momentum in this year's competition heading into this fixture.
They may be sitting a place higher, but Sunrisers enter this fixture without the momentum of their opponents. After recovering from a poor start to the season, they head to Delhi with three consecutive losses to their name, with a change of form desperately needed should they wish to move into playoff contention.

Delhi Capitals are still missing the services of pace bowler Kamlesh Nagarkoti who has been ruled out of the remainder of the 2023 tournament due to a back injury. Questions remain about the inclusion of Phil Salt who, after replacing an out-of-form Prithvi Shaw for the last match against Sunrisers, edged behind for a golden duck.
Sunrisers, meanwhile, have no fresh injury concerns to worry about, but are still working to uncover their most potent batting line-up. Watch out to see if Harry Brook opens the batting once more, despite having only fired once in the competition so far.
Delhi will be looking to Ishant Sharma for inspiration once more. Despite his lengthy break from IPL cricket, the Indian star has proved vital in their last two victories, and another strong showing will be needed if the Capitals to continue this run of form.
Pressure will also be on David Warner after the Australian's productivity at the top of the innings formed the basis for Delhi's first win of the season, and some canny captaincy leading to their second victory against Sunrisers last time out.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be hoping Harry Brook will come good once more. He may have struggled for consistency so far, but memories of his prolific century versus Punjab will ensure Delhi will be set on dismissing Brook early. Elsewhere, expect Delhi's batters to be wary of Washington Sundar, who took a skillful 3 for 28 against them in their scrappy loss last time out.
