Sunrisers Hyderabad’s playoff hopes were washed away in a cruel twist of fate as the rain had the final say during Match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Monday.
Speaking after the game, Cummins credited Heinrich Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar for giving SRH something to bowl at, but conceded that it simply wasn’t enough.
Tottering at the penultimate spot in the 10-team IPL 2025 points table with just a couple of wins from seven outings so far, the Sunrisers can’t afford another defeat as it could further dent their chances of reaching the playoffs.
In a match that will long be etched in the annals of the Indian Premier League (IPL) history, Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off the second-highest successful run chase in the league's history, chasing down a mammoth 246 against Punjab Kings with eight wickets in hand, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Saturday.
Keemo Paul's stunning boundary off Khaleel Ahmed's delivery on the second last delivery of Delhi's innings helped Delhi pull a nail-biting victory and advance to the second Qualifier of the league, where they will now face-off Chennai Super Kings on Friday.
For entering the play-offs, Hyderabad will now have to depend on the result of Sunday's contest between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians as both Kolkata and Hyderabad have 12 points each.
With five wins from nine games, Hyderabad is placed fourth in the league points-table, while Chennai sits at the second spot with seven victories from 10 games.
SRH skipper Bhuvneshwar Kumar will also hope that the faster pace of the wicket in Mohali will help his opening combination of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow.
SRH skipper Kane Williamson was all praise for his boys and was really happy to see the plan to have Rashid Khan bowl to RR batsman Jos Buttler work.
