Sunrisers hyderabad, a team that was predicted by everyone to win the championship title in the IPL 2025 season, is now the third team to lose the chance to qualify from the play-off round and exit the series. Last season, Sunrisers hyderabad played well and reached the final and won the runner-up title. In this situation, many people, including Kavya Maran, were waiting for the Sunrisers team to win the trophy this time. As befits this, the Sunrisers team scored 280 runs in the first match and set off a firework display. However, in the name of playing aggressively in the subsequent matches, the Sunrisers team showed poor batting. Due to this, they suffered successive defeats in the match.
In this environment, the Sunrisers team was forced to win the remaining four matches. It was in this environment that the Sunrisers team faced the delhi team on their own soil in the 55th league match. In order to somehow win this match, the Sunrisers bowled very aggressively. Unable to resist, the delhi team players lost the match one after another. Due to this, the delhi team stumbled by losing five wickets for 29 runs. In this environment, Tristan Stubbs played a responsible game in the middle order and added 41 runs in 36 balls. Similarly, Ashutosh Sharma scored 41 runs off 26 balls as delhi scored 133 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs. Sunrisers were expected to reach this target soon, but suddenly rain poured down in Hyderabad.
 The umpires had no choice but to wait for a five-over match as the rain did not stop even a little. But the pitch was damaged due to the rain. Due to this, the match could not continue and the match ended without a win or loss. With this, both the teams have been awarded one point each. In this situation, Sunrisers are currently in eighth place with 7 points from 11 matches. delhi is currently in fifth place with 13 points. Since Sunrisers can only get a maximum of 13 points, the team has lost the chance of the play-off round. If the match had been played as a 5-over match, Sunrisers would have been set a target of 42 runs. But due to rain, Sunrisers' dream has been dashed.
