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: A point apiece and that is that for SRH. They are officially knocked out. Quite ironic that Pat Cummins arguably had his best game of the season today but well, his comments before the match showed that SRH had pretty much accepted their fate and were only trying to give their fans a reason to smile. That, they did with aplomb, especially Cummins, who showed just how lethal a strike bowler he is, regardless of the format. SRH may have missed a trick not bowling him upfront but well, he only has himself to blame for that since he presumably calls the shots as captain. But what a performance it was today from the men in orange and one man in blue and red. Ashutosh Sharma of course. Is it time to start talking about him in a different shade of blue? Well, that's a discussion for another day. Right now, this is a bittersweet result for DC. On the one hand, the one point they get from this does them no favours in the race for the playoffs. On the other, it is quite safe to presume that they were going to get absolutely nothing from this so they might be happy about that.

SRH vs DC IPL 2025 Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals: All right Axar Patel and Pat Cummins have walked out. They are walking towards the umpires. This is it folks!

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.

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
