SRH vs DC, IPL 2023: Mukesh Kumar defends 13 runs in the final over, helps Capitals win by 7 runs

The halfway mark of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season is around the corner and Match 34 sees Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hosting Delhi Capitals (DC).

Technically, neither team is in danger of elimination and although both teams have played six games, the Sunrisers have only had two wins while the Capitals have only managed one.

Obviously, more setbacks at this point will only make things worse.
