Sunrisers Hyderabad become the third team in IPL 2025 to get eliminated from the playoff race as their match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium against the Delhi Capitals has been called off due to rain and then a very wet outfield in Hyderabad. Both teams share the spoils with 1 point each awarded to both sides, Business Standard reported.
Hyderabad now stand at 7 points from 11 games, making them mathematically ineligible to get into the top 4 now. Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by skipper Pat Cummins, delivered a dominant bowling display to restrict Delhi Capitals to 133/7 in their IPL 2025 clash on Monday.
With playoff hopes dwindling, SRH opted to bowl first on a challenging surface and quickly gained control as Delhi’s batters struggled with both the conditions and their shot selection.
DC collapsed to 29/5 in 7.1 overs, with Cummins wreaking havoc early. He dismissed Karun Nair on the first ball with a delivery that drew a loose shot outside off. In his next over, he removed Faf du Plessis, who mistimed a pull and was caught behind. Abhishek Porel also fell to Cummins, miscuing a flick shot, according to Business Standard.
