SRH vs DC Playing 11: Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad will square off against Axar Patel-led Delhi Capitals in the 55th match of the IPL 2025 schedule on May 05 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are almost out of the playoff race, with three wins out of 10 games. They secured victories in the games against the Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Chennai Super Kings.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals has 6 wins out of 10 games. They secured victories in the games against SRH, CSK, RCB, RR and two fixtures against LSG.
With Hyderabad secured 9th position, Delhi sits in the fifth position of the IPL 2025 points table.
Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and opted to bowl first. Speaking at the toss, SRH captain Pat Cummins said, “We’ll bowl. We’ve talked about a few things, haven’t had a complete game yet. Want to do the basics well.”
“It’s about giving yourself the chance, everyone’s a match-winner. We bat very deep. The support has been amazing, probably haven’t had the results we wanted but the crowd has been amazing. Buzzing around in the field, that’s one thing we can judge ourselves on,” concluded Pat Cummins.
Meanwhile, DC captain Axar Patel said, “Would’ve fielded first as well, looks like a good wicket and it shouldn’t change much. Will look to get a good score and restrict them. The last phase is here and these are must-win games.”
“We’ve tried to keep the environment light, we weren’t thinking about these things at the start of the tournament and we played well, want to go into these games with the same mindset and not let the situation pressure us,” he added.
“We’ve had different players contribute, we haven’t been dependant on one player.
It’s important to continue the momentum. We want to have close games, even if we lose, we don’t want to lose by big margins. No changes,” concluded Axar Patel.SRH vs DC Playing 11
