IPL 2025: SRH vs DC Match Interrupted By Rain, What Will Happen If There’s A Washout?
The first innings of the match between SRH and DC went quite smoothly, and the Axar Patel-led side played all their 20 overs, posting 133/7 on the board.
However, heavy rain has interrupted the match, and the start of the second innings has been delayed. Things are not looking good at the moment as the rain seems quite heavy and a washout is on the cards. Tiny puddles have also started to appear across the outfield.
SRH are currently at the ninth spot in the points table with three wins in 10 matches and a Net Run Rate of -1.192, while DC are at the fifth position with six wins in 10 games and a Net Run Rate of 0.362.
If there is a washout, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be knocked out of the competition, as they can only reach a maximum of 13 points if they win the remainder of their three matches.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals will reach 13 points after the washout, and with three matches remaining, they can still qualify for the playoffs even if they win two matches.
