Preview: The IPL 2025 will head to Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium for Match 55, as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) prepare to face Delhi Capitals (DC) on Monday, May 5.

With only three victories in ten games, the home club is practically eliminated from the tournament and is no longer in contention for playoffs. The Pat Cummins-led side suffered a 38-run defeat at the hands of the Gujarat Titans in a high-scoring contest in Ahmedabad. The Orange Army’s season has not gone as expected, with their top-order and quick bowling specialists battling for form. However, with no qualification pressure, SRH hopes to give their opponents a tough time in the middle.On the other side, Delhi has struggled in the second half of the season, losing four of their last six games. With the competition quickly approaching its conclusion and teams vying for a spot in the top four, the Axar Patel-led team must devise a new strategy to demolish the opponents. Notably, the Capitals won by seven wickets the last time they played each other this season.
