Hyderabad vs Delhi: Big city duels can’t get any better!

Introduction

It’s indeed surprising that even after such neck-to-neck battles between the titans, the Hyderabad v Delhi rivalry isn’t talked about much. 

If we talk about consistency, then there’s no better team than Hyderabad, who has made the playoffs in each edition since 2016. The Men in Orange have ample experience in the batting and bowling fronts that can steer them to the finals, and possibly, get hands onto their second T20 title. 

Meanwhile, Delhi is still vying for their maiden T20 title, and this time around, with the players in hand post the auctions, one might expect the 2020 runner up to finish the long-awaited wait this season.
