Eshan Malinga to Tristan StubbsFOUR! DC end on a positive note but it doesn't seem to be nearly enough. Eshan Malinga goes full again and looks to sling the ball across the off stump. Tristan Stubbs sets up deep in the crease and clubs it away wide enough of long on to find the fence. Delhi Capitals finish with 133/7 on the board!

Eshan Malinga to Ashutosh SharmaOUT! CAUGHT! Excellent bowling and Eshan Malinga does get a wicket as well. Bowls it slowerand well short around off. Ashutosh Sharma tries to fetch it and force the pull but has to generate his own pace and can't quite get on top of the bounce either. The ball gets lofted towards deep mid-wicket where Abhinav Manohar takes a simple catch and a fine fighting knock from Sharma comes to an end. He made 41 off 26 balls!

Zeeshan Ansari to Tristan StubbsOUT! RUN OUT! A huge communication mix-up between the batters and DC lose another wicket here. Zeeshan Ansari slides on the middle and leg stump line on a dragged length Tristan Stubbs hangs back and tucks it with soft hands to the mid-wicket region. They run the first one comfortably as the ball rolls towards the deep which is chased and picked by Aniket Verma who runs in from deep mid-wicket. Vipraj Nigam completes the run and is stuck at the batting end nowhere interested in taking the double but Tristan Stubbs from the other end taps the bat and rushes to the keeper's end for the second run. However Vipraj is caught ball-watching and stands still. Stubbs crosses him at the batting end as Aniket Verma throws it towards the bowler Zeeshan Ansariand he collects the ball and casually breaks the stumps. The umpires confirm that it is Vipraj Nigam who is run out as Stubbs went past him before the stumps were broken by Ansari.

A proper Test match length from Cummins hard length outside off slightly nipping away from the batter with a good bit of bounce on it. Karun Nair rises with the bounce to punch into the off side but plays it a bit lose with no proper footworkand plays it away from the body. A thick and healthy outside edge is found and Ishan Kishan does the rest behind the wickets. Karun Nair's lean run continues as he departs for a golden duck.

Right then, a contest that promised so much to begin with and even sprung up a surprise with SRH dominating DC, has ended up being a washout. There's plenty of action still to come in the 2025 IPL season, as teams vying for the top four spots go up against each other over the next couple of weeks. This run of fixtures kicks off with Mumbai Indians taking on Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, 6 May, and that should be a mouth-watering clash. The game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Cheers!

Strategic Break! Just 6 overs left in the first innings and the Capitals are nowhere near posting a defendable score on board. SRH did the job inside the Powerplay and they can now control the game, but they still need to be looking for wickets as a score of around 150 could turn this into an actual contest. Can Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma pull off a miracle and take DC to a fighting total? Let's find out. SRH also use their Impact Sub to bring on Travis Head and out goes Jaydev Unadkat who is done with his 4 overs.
Ashutosh Sharma has been brought in as the Impact Sub by DC. Abishek Porel has been subbed off.
A bit of confusion out there! Vipraj Nigam has been given Run-Out and is walking back to the pavilion but the umpires want to confirm that the batters had crossed each other. It is sent to the third umpire and it is eventually confirmed that Vipraj is the man who is OUT.
STRATEGIC BREAK. The Sunrisers couldn't have asked for a better start than this. We are not even halfway through the first innings, and their bowlers have broken the back of DC's batting unit. With the big guns like Faf, Axar, and KL Rahul, all gone, Delhi Capitals look upon Tristan Stubbs to provide some solace to their turbulent innings. Pat Cummins initiated the streak of breakthroughs with three wickets to his name, constantly bashing that back of a length, and the rest of the pacers, too, have complemented their skipper pretty nicely. Sunrisers Hyderabad will try to get Stubbs out quickly and look to restrict DC below triple figures. Here's Zeeshan Ansari into the attack now. He replaces Jaydev Unadkat.

We are all set for this game to begin! It is a sea of orange as usual inside the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium as the two umpires make their way out to the middle. They are followed by the SRH players who stride out and take their places on the field. It will be the duo of Faf du Plessis and Karun Nair to open the innings for DC. SRH skipper, Pat Cummins will take the new ball himself and he is raring to go. Let's play...
