Delhi Capitals Claim Comprehensive Victory Over Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025 Match

The Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by a convincing seven-wicket margin in their IPL 2025 match on March 30 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The victory pushed DC to the second spot in the points table, and they became the second side in a row to win in the season.

SRH Find It Tough Against Starc’s Brilliance

Deciding to bat first, SRH had a challenging task ahead as they were bowled out for 163 runs in 18.4 overs. In their innings, there was a notable performance from Aniket Verma, who scored a gritty knock of 74 runs. The remaining batting order failed to deal with the aggressive bowling lineup of Delhi Capitals.

Mitchell Starc was the star of the show for DC, grabbing his first-ever five-wicket haul in the IPL. The Australian bowler took havoc, finishing with 5/35. His early picks kept Sunrisers on the back foot, preventing them from putting up a strong total.

Capitals Cruise to Victory

Pursuing 164 for a win, Delhi Capitals carried out their innings with accuracy. Australian young star Jake Fraser-McGurk provided a brief start with 38 runs, while Faf du Plessis acted as a consistent anchor with a vital 50 runs.

The pursuit was accomplished in only 16 overs, as Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs saw the Capitals home in comfort. Their serene partnership guaranteed that there would be no late hiccups, as DC closed out the game with ease.

Impact on the Points Table

With this win, DC have now reached the number one position in the IPL 2025 table. Their good net run rate and consecutive victories have made them early favorites in the tournament. Sunrisers Hyderabad, however, will have to regroup in a hurry and sort out their batting issues before their next game.

Mitchell Starc’s brilliance once again confirmed why he is still one of the most lethal bowlers in the shortest format. His spell not only decimated SRH’s batting unit but also gave the tone of DC’s domination in the match.

As the season of the IPL 2025 goes on, Delhi Capitals will try to keep their winning streak going, whereas Sunrisers Hyderabad have to figure out a way to recover from this loss.
