Check out the IPL prediction for the SRH vs DC match.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have endured a disastrous IPL 2025 campaign, struggling to find consistency and sitting near the bottom of the points table. Despite starting the season with a record-breaking 286-run total against the Rajasthan Royals, their form quickly deteriorated, leading to seven defeats in their first 10 matches.
SRH’s famed opening duo, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, failed to replicate their IPL 2024 heroics, with their combined strike rate dropping significantly. The middle order, including Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen, has also underperformed, leaving SRH vulnerable in run chases. Additionally, their bowling attack, led by Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami, has struggled to contain opposition batters.
Another major concern has been SRH’s inability to adapt to different pitch conditions. While their aggressive batting worked wonders last season, opposition teams have countered them with slower tracks, making stroke play difficult. Their powerplay numbers have dropped significantly, with fewer sixes and a lower strike rate compared to IPL 2024.
With playoff hopes nearly extinguished, SRH will need a miracle to salvage their season and avoid finishing among the bottom two in the table.
The Delhi Capitals Need to Revive Their Campaign After a String Of Losses
The Delhi Capitals started their season campaign with four wins on the trot. The team took the pole position on the points table and was on a juggernaut. However, after enduring their first loss of the season at home against the 5-time champions Mumbai Indians, the team’s momentum took a toll.
After a loss at the hands of MI by 12 runs, the team managed only 2 wins in their next 5 matches. In that phase, DC managed to win against Rajasthan Royals at home in a Super Over and defeated Lucknow Super Giants away from home by 8 wickets. The campaign has been shaky of late for the Capitals, and they need to bounce back quickly as their playoff berth looks in jeopardy.
Mathematically, DC’s fortune is in their own hands. They are left with 4 more fixtures and need to win at least 2 of them. However, winning two games won’t assure them a spot in the playoffs, but it will keep them in the hunt for sure. If DC wins all their remaining games, they will surely get into the top 4.
