SRH vs DC Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s IPL 2026 Match 31?

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match No.31 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the  Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.

SRH are fourth in the standings with six points. They have been inconsistent so far as the top players are finding it hard to put pressure in the rivals. They lost to RCB in their campaign opener but won against the KKR in an away game. LSG and Punjab Kings thumped them before the Men in Orange bounced back against RR and CSK. Hyderabad will be aiming to register their fourth win of the IPL 2026.

Meanwhile, DC started the new edition with back-to-back wins before going down twice. However, they managed to thump the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their previous game.
