SRH vs DC: Sunrisers Hyderabad are struggling to survive in IPL 2025. On May 5, Monday, they will play the Delhi Capitals. Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium will host the game.
Pat Cummins is the captain of SRH at the moment. The team’s performance is not good. They are at ninth place on the table. They have won only three out of 10 games. They will be removed from the competition if they lose once more. They would become the third team to be eliminated, after the Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
Delhi Capitals Must Reclaim Momentum
Delhi Capitals, who are being captained by Axar Patel, are also under pressure. They have started the season on a high note. They were even leading the table at some point. Recent performances, however, have brought them down.
DC are already placed at number five. They will be able to gain a place in the top four again by winning this game. They will seek to exploit SRH’s worst run.
