SRH Eliminated from IPL 2025 Playoff Race After No-Result Against DC

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have been eliminated from the IPL 2025 playoff race after their match against Delhi Capitals (DC) was washed out due to rain, making them the third team to exit playoff contention. SRH put in a strong bowling performance to restrict DC to 133/7, with captain Pat Cummins taking three wickets in the powerplay, but persistent rain prevented any further play. Both teams were awarded one point, which was not enough for SRH to remain in the playoff hunt and only marginally improved DC's playoff prospects. The washout was particularly disappointing for SRH, who needed to win their remaining matches to stay in contention, and for DC, who missed a chance to move into the top four. The result narrows the playoff race to seven teams and highlights the impact weather is having on the tournament’s final stretch. Fans and commentators expressed frustration at the anticlimactic end for SRH, attributing the elimination to unfortunate weather conditions.
