SRH are virtually out of the tournament.
The Match No.55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will see Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) host Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad.
Sunrisers Hyderabad come on the back of a loss against Gujarat Titans in an away fixture. They couldn’t reach the huge target and eventually lost the game by 38 runs, significantly ruling out their chances to qualify for the playoffs. They are placed ninth on the points table.
Delhi Capitals also lost their last game to the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, by a low margin of 14 runs. It marked their second consecutive loss at home. However, they are still alive in the race to the playoffs if they win about three out of their remaining four games. They are seated in the fifth spot.
Despite facing losses, both teams may be unchanged for tonight’s fixture.
SRH lost their last fixture, and with that, they’re virtually out of the qualification race for the IPL 2025 playoffs. They have made three changes to the playing XI by bringing in Eshan Malinga, Abhinav Manohar and Sachin Baby in for Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kamindu Mendis and Mohammed Shami.
SRH XI: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w), Sachin Baby, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins(c), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga
