The Delhi Capitals (DC) continued their exceptional form in IPL 2025 by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 7 wickets at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium.
This victory marks DC’s second consecutive win in the tournament, placing them alongside Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the top of the points table with four points each.
The match’s highlight was Mitchell Starc’s sensational bowling performance. The Australian pacer dismantled SRH’s batting lineup, clinching the tournament’s first 5-wicket haul. Starc’s spell left SRH reeling at 37/4 within the first five overs. Even star batsman Ishan Kishan, who had shone in SRH’s opening game, struggled for the second game in a row.
Faf Du Plessis played a pivotal role in the chase, anchoring DC’s innings with a composed and clinical batting display. His performance ensured a comfortable victory for DC as they chased down SRH’s modest total with ease.
SRH, on the other hand, has much to ponder after back-to-back losses in the tournament. They’ll need to regroup quickly to keep their playoff hopes alive.
With this dominant display, DC has established themselves as strong contenders for the IPL 2025 title, sending a clear message to the other teams.
