Preview:
The 55th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 is set to take place on Monday, May 5, with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hosting Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. While the Capitals are in a strong position to push for a playoff spot, the Sunrisers are battling to stay alive in the tournament.
Currently sitting fifth on the points table, Delhi Capitals have secured six wins from ten games. A victory in this match would take them one step closer to sealing a place in the playoffs. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad find themselves in a must-win situation, having registered only three wins from their ten outings so far.
For SRH, this match is more than just about two points it’s about survival in the league. A win would keep their slim playoff hopes alive, though they’d still need to win their remaining three matches and rely on other results to go their way, potentially sneaking into the top four with 14 points.
Delhi Capitals, after a promising start to their campaign, will be eager to bounce back and strengthen their position among the top teams. With only two more wins needed to virtually confirm a playoff berth, this game presents a golden opportunity for them. With so much at stake for both sides, this contest promises high-intensity action.
