SRH vs DC: Yesterday’s match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on May 5th was rained out. It was a real bummer! No winner was declared, and both teams got one point each. This means Delhi is now fifth in the standings with 13 points, while Hyderabad dropped to eighth place with 7 points.
Delhi’s Playoff Hopes Still Alive
Delhi batted first and managed a score of 133 for 7 in their 20 overs. Unfortunately, the rain came down so hard that Hyderabad couldn’t even start their innings. This leaves Delhi still in the running for the playoffs, while poor Pat Cummins’ team is now out of the race.
A Look at Delhi’s Innings
Delhi aimed for 134 runs. They had a slow start, losing wickets early on. Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma were the bright spots, each scoring a crucial 41 runs. But the rest of the team struggled, and they just couldn’t get the big hits needed at the end.
Hyderabad’s Impressive Bowling
Hyderabad’s bowlers really shone. Pat Cummins was amazing, taking three wickets and keeping the pressure on Delhi’s batters. Jaydev Unadkat, Harshal Patel, and Ishan Malinga each chipped in with a wicket, making it even harder for Delhi to score. Their disciplined bowling prevented Delhi from gaining any momentum.
