Sunrisers Hyderabad have seven points from 11 matches in the Indian Premier League 2025. They have officially been knocked out of the race to the playoffs. Both SRH and DC have shared a point each after the washout.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been officially eliminated from the Indian Premier League 2025 playoffs. Their clash against Delhi Capitals was washed out due to rain. Both teams shared a point each, which means that SRH has been eliminated from the season.
SRH would feel like having robbed a point and an outside chance of qualification due to rain at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. They had restricted DC to a pretty under-par score of 133/7 in the first innings and would have fancied their chances to chase the target down.
However, that was not to be as rain interrupted the fixture after the first innings and got heavier to cause a big delay. While the rain had stopped, puddles formed on the ground cleanage very hard. The captains shook hands with each other as the game was called off.
Pat Cummins had wreaked havoc with his bowling. He took three wickets, all in the powerplay, for only 19 runs in his four overs. Cummins, who was having an ordinary season, took the wickets of Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis and Abhishek Porel. Jaydev Unadkat was too mingy, as he gave only 13 runs in his four overs with a wicket to his name.
DC had no reply to the SRH bowling as they were falling like a pack of cards. Tristan Stubbs and impact player Ashutosh Sharma infused some hope with the bat as they scored 41 each. While Stubbs was careful in his 36-ball 41, Ashutosh played freely during his 26-ball 41.
Rain interrupted after the end of the first innings and did not settle down for some time. It stopped when the cut-off time of 11:42 PM for a five-over game was nearing, however, the puddles formed made it too difficult for the game to be resumed.
SRH have been knocked out of the tournament, while DC got a point out of nowhere. They keep their playoff hopes alive and will look to bounce back from the disappointing recent run, in which they have won only two of their previous seven matches.
