SRH vs DC IPL 2025: The rain gods have interrupted the IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderbad and Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

As of the innings break in Match 55 of IPL 2025 between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, DC have posted a total of 133/7 in their allotted 20 overs, but the run chase is yet to start due to rain.

Delhi Capitals Innings Summary

After winning the toss, SRH captain Pat Cummins elected to bowl first—a decision that paid immediate dividends. Cummins struck with the very first delivery of the match, dismissing Karun Nair for a golden duck. He continued his fiery spell by removing Faf du Plessis and Abishek Porel, leaving DC reeling at 15/3 within the first five overs.

The middle order offered little resistance, with Axar Patel and KL Rahul departing cheaply. However, a resilient partnership between Tristan Stubbs (41* off 36 balls) and Ashutosh Sharma (41 off 26 balls) provided some stability. Their efforts helped DC recover from 29/5 to a more respectable total.

But as the rain continues, there is a chance that the match may be washed out.
