Sunrisers Hyderabad entered the IPL 2025 season as title favourites but have now been reduced to an also-ran after failing on all fronts. Despite still being in contention for the playoffs due to some convoluted mathematics, they have lost control over their destiny. In their upcoming clash with Delhi Capitals, they will be looking to turn their fortunes around.
In their previous meeting with Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers suffered a heavy defeat with Mitchell Starc wreaking havoc. Aniket Verma’s brilliant knock went in vain as they fell short of a competitive score. Sunrisers have struggled to breach the 200-run mark this season, with their 300-run ambitions being a distant dream.
Their bowling unit has also been lackluster, resulting in the team folding without much of a fight in several matches. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have also seen a dip in form after starting the season strong. They will be looking to regain their rhythm as they head into the crucial stage of the season.
Axar Patel’s return from injury will be a boost for Delhi Capitals as they aim to secure a must-win victory. Both teams will be eager to make a statement in this important match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. It is a crucial game for both sides as they look to salvage their seasons and make a push for the playoffs.
