Visakhapatnam, March 30: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had a tough outing against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 10th match of IPL 2025 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, SRH struggled to put up a competitive total, getting bowled out for just 163 runs in 18.4 overs. Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav wreaked havoc with the ball, while SRH’s batting lineup failed to capitalize on crucial moments.
Mitchell Starc Dismantles SRH’s Top Order
SRH got off to a shaky start as Abhishek Sharma (1) was run out on the very first over due to confusion with Travis Head. Soon after, Starc made early inroads by dismissing Ishan Kishan (2) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (0) in quick succession, leaving SRH reeling at 25/3 within 2.3 overs.
Travis Head, who looked aggressive, smashed a quick 22 off 12 balls before Starc dismissed him, putting SRH in deep trouble at 37/4 in 4.1 overs.
Aniket Verma and Heinrich Klaasen Stabilize the Innings
Despite the early setbacks, Aniket Verma (74 off 41) played a counter-attacking knock with some exquisite boundaries and sixes. His partnership with Heinrich Klaasen (32 off 19) helped SRH recover, taking the score past the 100-run mark. However, once Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Klaasen in the 11th over, SRH lost momentum again.
Middle Order Collapse and Starc’s Five-Wicket Haul
Kuldeep Yadav struck twice more, removing Abhinav Manohar (4) and SRH skipper Pat Cummins (2), while Starc returned to claim his fifth wicket, dismissing Wiaan Mulder (9) to wrap up SRH’s innings at 163 in 18.4 overs.
For DC, Mitchell Starc (5/35 in 3.4 overs) was the standout bowler, while Kuldeep Yadav (3/22 in 4 overs) played a crucial role in restricting SRH. Mohit Sharma and Axar Patel also contributed with a wicket each.
Delhi Capitals in Command
With a strong bowling performance, DC has put themselves in a commanding position. Given their strong batting lineup and the 83% win probability, they will look to chase down this target comfortably.
