The Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals on Monday could not be completed due to rain. Along with this, both teams have settled on 1-1 points.
With this result, Hyderabad's chances of reaching the playoffs are over. With a target of 134 runs, Hyderabad could not play a single ball of the reply innings due to rain. Last year's runners-up Hyderabad needed to win this match to stay in the tournament, but luck was not on their side.
After this match, Delhi finished fifth with 13 points. Delhi will also suffer from this result. Hyderabad finished eighth with 7 points. Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings have also lost their chances of making the playoffs. After winning the
toss, Hyderabad decided to field first. It also proved to be correct. Delhi got off to a poor start and were reduced to 133 runs after losing 7 wickets in 20 overs. Towards the end of the innings, Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma scored identical 41 runs and the score looked somewhat respectable. Stubbs remained not out with 4 fours off 36 balls. Sharma's 26-ball innings included 2 fours and 3 sixes. Before that, Delhi had lost 5 wickets by the time they scored 29 runs. After the opener Karun Nair was dismissed for zero in the first ball of the innings, the team could not hold on. Faf du Plessis 3, Ashishek Porel 8, KL Rahul 10 and captain Akshar Patel were out for 6 runs. Vipraj Nigam got out after scoring 18 with 1 four and 1 six.
Captain Pat Cummins bowled lethally for Hyderabad. He took 3 wickets for 19 runs in 4 overs. All three of his victims were Delhi's top-order batsmen.
