Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 55th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on May 5.
Another loss will spell doom for SRH’s playoff aspirations, while DC risks slipping into a vulnerable position, dashing hopes of a top-two finish.
Led by Pat Cummins, Sunrisers Hyderabad have stumbled through a dismal campaign, rooted in ninth place on the IPL 2025 points table with only three victories in ten outings. A brutal 38-run thrashing by the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their recent outing has left SRH’s playoff dreams dangling precariously. To salvage their season, SRH must pull off on upset in their home turf.
Led by Axar Patel, Delhi Capitals are in a stronger spot, sitting fifth with six wins from ten matches. DC burst out of the gates with four consecutive triumphs to start their campaign, but their momentum has waned as the tournament unfolded.
The Capitals have stumbled, dropping three of their past four contests. Their latest setback was a 14-run defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), falling short in a chase of 205 runs at home.
