SRH vs. DC: The match was closed due to weight outfield, the Sunrisers officially knocked out of the IPL 2025 playoff race. Cricket news
Constant rains forced match officials to shut down the match Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi capitals (DC) Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium On Monday.
SRH now has seven points out of 11 matches and is out of controversy for the playoffs, while DC went in 13 points out of 11 matches and finished fifth on the table.
The match was closed due to wet outfield. Both captains shook hands as both teams shared one point each. SRH has been officially excluded from the competition, after Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals became the third team, which was removed from the playoff race.
Earlier, after being sent to the bat, DC suffered a top-order collapse, but was recovered for the seventh wicket to post a respectable score after a 66-run partnership in 45 balls between Triston Stabs (41 Not Out) and No. 8 Ashush Sharma (41).
DC was reduced to 29/5 in 7.1 overs after the incorrect mantra from SRH Skipper Pat Cummins (3/19) and Jaydev Unadkat (1/13).
SRH captain Pat Cummins set the tone, bowled well on one wicket who assisted pacers. He dropped Karun Nair out of the first ball of the innings, then Faf du Plessis, and Abhishek Poral finally put DC under significant pressure.
Axar Patel and KL Rahul tried to be free, but could not establish a strong partnership. Vipraj Nigam had a brief stay before exiting a significant misconception between wickets with Triston Stabs.
The Stabs was then included by the Impact Substitute Ashutosh Sharma, who batted very well. Sharma scored 41 runs in quick time, which allowed DC to dissolve the 130 -run mark.
Stabs tried to expedite, but struggled as it was not the easiest to play shots on the wicket.
Who is that IPL player?
SRH needed 134 runs to win the match, but did not have a single ball in his innings as it started falling down during the innings break.
Brief score
Delhi capitals: 20 overs in 133/7 (Ashutosh Sharma 41, Triston Stabs 41 Not Out; Pat Cummins 3/19, Jaydev Undkat 1/13) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
