IPL 2025 Match 10: Delhi Capitals Secure Commanding Win Over Sunrisers Hyderabad
In Match 10 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the Delhi Capitals (DC) climbed to second place on the points table with a decisive seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Unlike their nail-biting season opener against Lucknow Super Giants, the Axar Patel-led DC side dominated this Sunday afternoon encounter, sealing the win with four overs to spare.
Match Summary:
- Toss: SRH captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first.
- SRH Innings: SRH faced early setbacks, finding themselves at 37/4 by the fifth over. Despite a resilient 74 off 41 balls from young talent Aniket Verma, SRH were bowled out for 163 in 18.5 overs. DC’s Mitchell Starc was instrumental, claiming the season’s first five-wicket haul with figures of 5/35, while Kuldeep Yadav supported with 3/22.
- DC Innings: Chasing 164, DC’s openers provided a solid foundation. Faf du Plessis led with a brisk 50 off 27 balls, and Jake Fraser-McGurk contributed 38 off 32. Despite a brief interruption by SRH’s debutant leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari, who took two wickets in an over, DC comfortably reached the target, finishing at 164/3 in 16 overs.
