SRH vs DC, IPL 2025 Highlights: Match abandoned due to rain, SRH knocked out

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: And the update, which came about 10 minutes ago, was that it is raining in Hyderabad and that the SRH chase has been delayed. Well, good that they noticed. Meanwhile, the intensity of rain has decreased but it is still significant.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: The rain hasn't subsided one bit and puddles are starting to form on the covers. This is one of those stadiums that has a sub-surface drainage system in place, albeit not as effective as the one in Bengaluru.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: A slight drizzle appeared just when the players were making their way back to the dressing room. That has now cascaded to a proper downpour, The square is under covers.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Ashutosh fell off the fourth ball in that last over to Eshan Malinga and he is the only reason why DC have been able to set a target of 134. Stubbs finishes on 41 off 36, Ashutosh scored 41 in 26. As stated earlier, SRH have collapsed as spectacularly as what we saw from DC today but it will be a real surprise if they don't wrap this one up quickly.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Right, this is quite a recovery, when looked at in isolation. Fact remains that in spite of this, chances of SRH chasing the target down in less than 12 overs remains very much a possibility. Then again, SRH have been prone to even bigger collapses than this one this year.

Ashutosh has been incredible thus far. He has scored 38 in 23 balls, Stubbs on 36 in 34.

DC 124/6 in 19 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Harshal Patel bowls the 17th over, five runs off the first four balls and the fifth is a wide, as was the first. Then Ashutosh sends the legitimate fifth delivery past backward point for four. The last ball is hit over mid-off for another four. What an innings this is turning out to be from Ashutosh. He is on 30 off 17, Stubbs on 26 off 28.

DC 105/6 in 17 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Zeeshan Ansari has not had a good day at all. Stubbs gets off strike first ball and then Ashutosh sends the second back over the bowler's head and into the stands for six. The third ball is also sent in the same direction for another six.

Stubbson 22 off 24 balls, Ashutosh on 17 off nine.

DC 86/6 in 15 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Believe it or not, DC can still post a respectable total here. They have two very dependable hands out there in Ashutosh Sharma and Stubbs. The latter is on 21 off 22, Ashutosh on four off five. Ansari to continue in the 15th over.

DC 72/6 in 14 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Well, this was the only thing missing from this DC innings. Just when it looked like Stubbs and Nigam were putting something together, the former goes for a run that his partner was simply not interested in. Stubbs simply put his head down and sprinted for the second run with everything he had, not even spotting that Nigam was screaming and shouting and imploring him to stop. Verma throws it in from deep midwicket and Kishan simply knocked the bails off with both batters at the other end. Nigam is the man who walks back as Stubbs crossed him before the stumps were broken.

Nigam run out (Verma/Zeeshan Ansari) 18 (17)

DC 61/6 in 12.1 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: This is the longest period for DC in which they have not lost a wicket. Zeeshan Ansari ends up conceding 10 runs in the 10th over, being hit for a six first ball by Nigam and a four off the last ball by the same batter. Then Cummins hands the ball over to Abhishek Sharma and he gives away just five runs in the 11th.

DC 52/5 in 11 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: They are the team that needs this win more today and well, it will now take a miracle of astonishing proportions for them to even compete. They have Vipraj Nigam and Tristan Stubbs out there, both on six runs.

DC 37/5 in 9 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: DC have lost half their side within the first eight overs for just 29 runs. Disaster is an understatement. Jaydev Unadkat bowls the eighth over, his first ball is full outside off. Rahul drives, ends up edging it and Kishan dives to his right and takes quite a wonderful catch. Kishan has been brilliant today behind the stumps. DC have been anything but that in front of it.

Rahul c Ishan Kishan b Unadkat 10 (14)

DC 29/5 in 7.1 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Nope, he refuses to be kept out of the game, does Pat Cummins. Harshal Patel strikes but wow, what a catch that is! Harshal with a slower ball on length outside off, Axar is too early on his drive. The ball goes towards mid-off, Cummins back pedals and takes it over his right shoulder.

DC 26/4 in 5.5 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Wickets off the first ball of his first, second and third overs. Figures of 3/8. Utterly astonishing scenes here! Cummins bowls the first ball of the fifth over on a length on leg stump. Porel looks to pick it up, the ball ends up going high into the dark Hyderabad sky. Kishan calls for it and does well to take it.

DC 15/3 in 4.1 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: What a start this is for SRH! And what a disaster for DC, who have got more riding on this match today than the hosts. Just five runs from that over by Cummins, in addition to the wicket of course. Out there now are KL Rahul and Abishek Porel. DC still have enough in the tank to put up a big score but one of these two will probably have to score a century, or get close to one.

DC 11/2 in 3 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Oh yes, the Aussie pace superstar is having a good day this IPL at long last. Cummins bangs it short on middle stump, Du Plessis gives the attempted pull shot everything. He can only get a faint nick to Kishan. Cummins on fire!

Du Plessis c Ishan Kishan b Cummins 3 (8)

DC 6/2 in 2.1 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Jaydev Unadkat bowls the second over and just three more runs for DC in it. In fact, du Plessis almost runs himself out fifth ball. Now here comes Pat Cummins again, his feet are pumping today.

DC 6/1 in 2 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: THE KARUN NAIR OPENER EXPERIMENT HASN'T EVEN LASTED A DELIVERY. Back if a length delivery, two stump lengths outside off, Nair feels for it away from his body, a nothing shot. He edges it to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan.

Nair c Ishan Kishan b Cummins 0 (1)

DC 0/1 in 0.1 overs

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: A new day, a new opening combination for DC. Today it is Karun Nair opening with Faf du Plessis. Abishek Porel is still there in the XI and so it looks like he and MNair have just switched positions.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w), Sachin Baby, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins(c), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga

Impact Subs: Travis Head, Harsh Dubey, Rahul Chahar, Wiaan Mulder, Mohammed Shami

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul(w), Axar Patel(c), Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chameera, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan

Impact Subs: Ashutosh Sharma, Jake Fraser McGurk, Sameer Rizvi, Mukesh Kumar, Mohit Sharma

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Well Axar Patel had said that DC have made no changes but we are now seeing T Natarajan in their bat first XI. It will be the most daft cricketing decision to keep him as a No.11 in your bat first and then sub him out later and so at long last, we will see Natarajan making his debut for DC and incidentally, it will be against the side and at the ground where he became a household name in the IPL.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Pat Cummins gives it a spin and Axar Patel calls it wrong. Cummins says SRH are bowling first.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Bang in the middle of the square, meaning that there is no bias, with a 66m square boundary to each side. 76m hit straight down the ground, when bowling from the North End. It looks really nice, says Shane Watson. It is a red-soil surface and there is no grass covering at all. It is nice and hard, he adds, which means the ball should go through nicely. SRH scored 190 on this track but that was chased down in the 16th over by LSG earlier this season. Watson says he would not mind putting his pads on and batting on this strip. He expects there to be plenty of runs.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: SRH have the edge on DC but only slightly. SRH lead the head-to-head 13-12. In six games in Hyderabad, the two teams have beaten each other thrice.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: The maximum points tally SRH can get to this season is 14, which is also what third-placed MI and 4th-placed GT are already on. Two teams have already gone past that. If they lose today, DC will get there as well and that makes it mathematically impossible for SRH to make it to the top four. If they win today, well arguably it will only be a matter of time before their knockout gets confirmed. If not, then make no mistake, this will be the greatest comeback in the history of the IPL league stage by some distance. And arguably the kind that won't be matched for years to come.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Today's game is at the ground where T Natarajan made himself a household name in the IPL. However, he is yet to get a game in his first season with the Delhi Capitals. It looks like Natarjan's exclusion is more because of the team composition than anything that he has or hasn't done. The only players who he can replace are Dushmantha Chameera and Mukesh Kumar, both of whom have been in fine touch this season.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Delhi Capitals are sitting fifth on the league table with 12 points in 10 matches. Above them are GT and they are two points ahead of them, as are third-placed MI. A win today hence potentially puts DC back in fourth place, although GT will have a game in hand on them. And that latter part is what makes a defeat today such a big disaster for them as they could end up being at least three points off third place, making fourth the only spot that they could realistically finish with three games left this season. As Tuco Salamanca says in Breaking Bad, "Tight! Tight, tight!"

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: We did see Yuzvendra Chahal being strategically held back by PBKS. He went on to take a hat-trick when he came on of course. We could see something similar for Kuldeep when Heinrich Klaasen is out there, unless the former has any specific plans for him. Klaasen has never been dismissed Kuldeep in the IPL and has scored 46 runs in 24 balls.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: After a shaky start to the season, Abhishek Sharma has found some consistency. It can be argued that Kuldeep Yadav has gone the opposite way, looking somewhat out of touch after a ridiculously good first half of the league stage. Abhishek has a strong record against Kuldeep, he has scored 38 runs in 13 balls against the spinner and been dismissed twice.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: SRH has a lot of Aussie heritage. David Warner is the only captain to have led them to an IPL title, Pat Cummins is their captain now while Travis Head has embedded himself in the soul of the franchise. But it is also an Aussie who has somehow become a bogey man for them. SRH have won only one game out of seven in which Starc has been involved, way back in 2014, when he played for RCB.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: There will be a fair bit of Aussie rivalry today with Starc on one side and Cummins and Head on the other. Starc has dismissed Head twice in seven balls in the IPL, and will be vital to rattle SRH early in Hyderabad.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Axar Patel had injured his left hand on the field against KKR in the last game. However, he did come out to bat later in the day in the chase and in fact played quite a major role for them. Remains to be seen whether he will play today or not.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Travis Head hasn't quite had the season that matches up to the form he has been enjoying in all formats for the past few years. As he tried to prolong his innings over the course of the season, Head's strike rate has fallen as well. He had a strike rate of 191.55 in the first three games of the season. That has dropped significantly to 133 in the next seven games

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: Delhi Capitals were the early pace setters this season but they have signficantly fallen off steam just as the business end of the league stage approaches. SRH really have little to lose, which might make this an even more dangerous for DC. Stay tuned for more updates!
