DC vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: It is doubleheader Sunday in the IPL once again, and it is Sunrisers Hyderabad who continue to get that afternoon slot. This time, they travel to Visakhapatnam, a short trek over from their home city, but it’s as an away match. Their hosts for the day will be the Delhi Capitals, already having celebrated a famous win at this venue, a last-over, one-wicket victory over LSG which saw Ashutosh Sharma play the kind of innings which single-handedly vaults you into conversations about playing for the national team.

SRH enter off a disappointing loss against LSG, in which their incredible batting order just didn’t come to the party against a relatively weak bowling order. SRH are a team who are expected to hit 300 this season, and even on an off-day, they managed 190.
It tells you a lot about what is expected from a murderer’s row of batters which includes Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and many more. In the Delhi camp, it is further good news to go with their win, as KL Rahul returns from paternity leave, now a father and ready to make his debut for his new franchise. Rahul will add some experience and much-needed backbone to this DC middle order, which has plenty of power but also the tendency to implode.
This was something they nearly fell prey to against LSG, losing three wickets in no time to give themselves a mountain to climb. It’s not a tactic that Axar Patel and the team management will want to depend on, but coming in at number four and surrounded by some terrific attacking players, KL Rahul provides a game-changing element given his quality. The winner of this matchup will join RCB on four points at the top of the table, and will give themselves a terrific platform at the very start of this tournament.
That will be something DC in particular will see as a perfect start to this new era: in two home matches away from home, they could set themselves up well to play with the sort of freedom and flow that the younger players like Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abhishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs, and later on Ashutosh Sharma, would enjoy. This Delhi team showed last season that if it gets hot, it can certainly go toe-to-toe in terms of run-scoring with teams such as SRH. Add to that even more quality and even more power, and DC could really establish themselves as a team to watch out for.
However, when it comes to winning this game in particular, a lot more will depend on their bowling. The key battle in this match will be when Mitchell Starc has the new ball in his hand, fresh and raring to go against the openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. The SRH openers will remember what happened the last time this matchup came around in the IPL 2024 playoffs, and if SRH want the sort of platform that wins them matches, they will need to see out Starc without any damage.
Later one, a second key battle will be upon Kuldeep Yadav’s introduction. Heinrich Klaasen is a fearsome hitter of spin, and Kuldeep is arguably the finest Indian spinner in this year’s IPL: whoever wins this particular one-v-one could well help their team go on to win this match.
