-
17:56 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: 7 overs done!
Delhi Capitals have had the ideal start. Going at more than 9 runs an over, and have not lost a single wicket. Faf du Plessis is the one going after the SRH bowling, and is on 45 off just 22 balls. Not the best day so far for JFM, who is batting at an unusually low strike rate of 80.
DC 66/0 (7)
-
17:52 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: BANG, Faf!
Faf du Plessis is playing an incredible knock out there. Cut hard through the point region, no chance for Ishan Kishan for 4. Next ball, deposited out of the park. That’s massive! SIX! Du Plessis into the 40s.
DC 62/0 (6.2)

17:46 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: DROPPED!
Pat Cummins puts down Jake Fraser-McGurk! Tough chance, diving effort but it pops out of the Australian’s hands. Nothing going SRH’s way right now, and Delhi Capitals openers are still unbeaten at the crease. Two lifelines for JFM.
DC 48/0 (5)
-
17:43 (IST)
DC vs SRH LIVE: SIX!
That has gone MILES! Pitched short by Abhishek, returning for his second over in the powerplay, and Du Plessis says ‘Thank you very much!’. Big hit by Faf, who is already in the 30s and motoring along towards a half-century.
DC 45/0 (4.2)
-
17:41 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Put down!
Fraser-McGurk got no timing on it, and it was going towards Aniket Verma at cover. Tough chance, he tried to hold on to it with one hand, got his fingers on it, but it’s put down. Delhi Capitals riding their luck too.
Next ball, hit for 4! Costly error by SRH.
DC 39/0 (4)
-
17:39 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: 4 more!
Faf du Plessis is dealing in boundaries here. Excellently timed, welcomes Pat Cummins with a 4 as well. The South African may be 40 years old, but he’s still a great power-hitter at the top of the order.
DC 33/0 (3.3)
-
17:37 (IST)
DC vs SRH LIVE: Good over for DC!
A six and two boundaries! Faf du Plessis has hit his stride, and taken Shami to the cleaners. DC get their first big over of the powerplay, as they set off towards chasing 164. Abhishek Sharma taken off the attack now, Cummins comes in himself.
DC 26/0 (3)

-
17:32 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: SIX!
First boundary, and it is the brute! Jake Fraser-McGurk sends it a long way, back over the bowler’s head for a maximum. Apart from that, not a bad over, 9 coming off it from Abhishek. DC will look to not lose any wickets in the powerplay.
DC 11/0 (2)
-
17:29 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: Good over by Shami!
Just 2 runs off the first over. Neat stuff by Mohammed Shami, but JFM and Faf du Plessis not taking any unnecessary risks early on. Abhishek Sharma will open the bowling from the other end, interesting call taken by Cummins.
DC 2/0 (1)
-
17:25 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: DC out to bat!
As expected, it is Jake Fraser-McGurk and Faf du Plessis opening for Delhi Capitals. Expect KL Rahul to bat at No. 3/4, depending on the situation. But these two openers have the potential to give them a power-packed start.
DC 0/0 (0.1)

17:17 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: Starc vs SRH!
Name a better love story than Mitch Starc starring against SRH! ‘Player of the Match’ against them in Qualifier 1 and Final of IPL 2024. Come IPL 2025, and he’s taken a superb 5-wicket haul. Three wickets in the powerplay, two at the death. Going very strong, even at 35 years of age.
-
17:16 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: DC will fancy their chances!
Delhi Capitals will be fancying their chances of victory today. 164 is by no means a particularly daunting total, considering they chased down 210-odd in their previous game. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Faf du Plessis will open, while KL Rahul is also back to provide some solidity to the middle order.
-
17:15 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: A no-show from SRH
Sunrisers Hyderabad have not been able to live up to their lofty standards with the bat for the second game in a row. They were thoroughly beaten by LSG in their previous game, and now DC have the chance to do the same. The mighty batters failed today, and it was only Aniket Verma’s scintillating 74 that has taken them to a somewhat decent total.
-
17:13 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: ALL OUT!
SRH all out for 163! Mitch Starc, 5-wicket haul! Another great catch in the deep by Faf du Plessis, Delhi Capitals have been top-notch in the field today. A superb bowling performance by them, led by Starc’s five and Kuldeep’s three. Starc will also now take over the Purple Cap.
SRH 163 all out (18.3 overs)
DC Target: 164
-
17:08 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: Axar Patel wow!
Mitch Starc gets a fourth wicket! Axar Patel, what a catch at extra cover! Flying through the air, superb sharp catch. SRH now lose their ninth wicket, Harshal Patel has to walk back.
SRH 162/9 (18.2)
-
17:07 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: How far can SRH get?
Harshal Patel and Wiaan Mulder are at the crease, with two overs remaining. The two can definitely bat a fair bit, but they’re unable to get the big shots. If SRH manage to get around 180-190, they’ll give themselves a chance.
SRH 162/8 (18.1)
-
17:01 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: Great knock by Aniket
Incredible knock by Aniket Verma. On a day when every one of SRH’s star-studded batting lineup failed, a superb knock by Verma to make sure they reach a total that can at least be somewhat defended. 74 off 41 balls, with 6 sixes in there!
-
16:54 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: ANIKET GONE!
JAKE FRASER-MCGURK, THAT’S STUNNING! Aniket Verma was surely getting another six, but the Australian leaps incredibly at the boundary line and takes an absolute screamer. Sunrisers lose their 8th wicket, and crucially it’s Aniket.
SRH 148/8 (15.5)
-
16:53 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: SIX MORE ANIKET!
What a knock this is turning out to be! 6 more, clears the ropes yet again. Axar? Kuldeep? No problem. Up into the 70s now, and nearing a century!
SRH 148/7 (15.4)
-
16:51 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: 4, 6, 6, Aniket!
ANIKET VERMA is on a roll! He has been the only saving grace for Sunrisers Hyderabad today. First through the covers for 4, then smashed over mid-wicket for 6, then back over the bowler’s head for a maximum! Against DC captain Axar Patel!
Aniket Verma, take a bow.
SRH 140/7 (15)
-
16:48 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Impact Sub on!
Interesting choice by Sunrisers Hyderabad here! Wiaan Mulder has been brought on at no. 9, the all-rounder from South Africa. First IPL match for him. SRH will hope that he can provide the much-needed batting depth and send them towards a respectable total.
-
16:46 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: ONE MORE WICKET!
Kuldeep strikes again! The chinaman bowler is putting in one heck of a spell here. Pat Cummins tries to go for the big shot, but like so many others in his team today, doesn’t get the sweet connection. Good catch taken by Jake Fraser-McGurk. Second wicket for Kuldeep!
SRH 123/7 (14)
-
16:44 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: 50 for Aniket Verma!
Half-century for Aniket Verma! First IPL 50 for Aniket Verma. Applause from the Sunrisers Hyderabad dugout. SRH haven’t played well, but Aniket has stood tall and made a difference. Comes off 34 balls.
SRH 123/6 (13.5)
-
16:37 (IST)
DC vs SRH LIVE: OUT!
Abhinav Manohar is in and Abhinav Manohar is out! Tries to go for the big hit, gets no timing whatsover. Kuldeep Yadav picks up a wicket, and finds the fielder at long-off. Faf du Plessis is as safe as houses.
SRH 119/6 (12)
-
16:35 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Abhinav Manohar in the crease
Abhinav Manohar is now out to bat at No. 7, to help Aniket Verma who is nearing his fifty. Abhinav is a brutal striker of the ball, but will need to stitch a partnership here to try and help SRH out of the rut.
SRH 117/5 (11.3)
-
16:32 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: What a catch!
Vipraj Nigam, take a bow! Excellent catch, running back, off-balance but grabs it! Heinrich Klaasen is GONE! SRH are 5-down, and all their big-name batters are back in the dugout inside the 11th over. Klaasen departs for 32.
SRH 114/5 (10.5)
-
16:30 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: 4 more!
Aniket Verma, another boundary! Up to 46 now. Full toss by Mohit Sharma, whacked straight back past the bowler for 4! Sunrisers Hyderabad continue the high run-rate despite the big loss of wickets. Bold, brave batting.
SRH 112/4 (10.3)
-
16:27 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: 10 overs done!
Sunrisers Hyderabad have fought back remarkably well here. They were 37/4 as Mitch Starc ran through the top order. But this has been an admirable fightback, with Aniket Verma and Heinrich Klaasen now nearing their half-centuries.
SRH 105/4 (10)
-
16:25 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: KLAASEN, 6!
Kuldeep Yadav into the attack, and Heinrich Klaasen welcomes him in brutal fashion. Terrific, terrific shot. Smoked back up over the bowler’s head, for a big maximum. 100 up for SRH, in just 9.1 overs!
SRH 104/4 (9.1)
-
16:20 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: Aniket up to 40!
It is the Aniket Verma show here in Visakhapatnam. Another boundary, and SRH are now motoring towards the 100-run total. Heinrich Klaasen is watching it from the other end, Aniket is dealing in boundaries. Run rate is nearly 11!
SRH 98/4 (9)
-
16:14 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Aniket Verma is on a roll!
TWO SIXES! Aniket Verma is on the charge. Third six of the day for the uncapped right-hander, who is leading the SRH fightback alongside Heinrich Klaasen. 50-run partnership up already, in just 22 balls.
SRH 87/4 (7.3)
-
16:13 (IST)
DC vs SRH LIVE: 16 off the over!
Some big hits, particularly by Aniket Verma. Gets a six and a four in that over, by Axar Patel, which also included a no-ball. Klaasen had mistimed a big hit, but it fell short of two fielders running in. SRH are fighting back.
SRH 74/4 (7)
-
16:11 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: Powerplay done!
Heinrich Klaasen is hitting some boundaries here, and takes SRH up to 58 at the end of the powerplay. Will Delhi Capitals rue putting down Aniket in that over?
DC 58/4 (6)
-
16:06 (IST)
DC vs SRH LIVE: DROPPED!
Oh dear! Abhishek Porel drops an easy catch here. Axar Patel into the attack, Aniket Verma tries to go big, mistimes and Porel really should’ve taken it at extra cover. Perhaps the sun getting into his eyes, but a big chance put down.
SRH 51/4 (5.2)
-
16:05 (IST)
DC vs SRH LIVE Score: 50 up for SRH
Some lusty blows by Heinrich Klaasen after walking in. First a big six, then a boundary off Mitch Starc. Those hits have helped SRH reach 50 inside 5 overs. The current run-rate is still 10, but 4 wickets are down, and there is a huge burden on Klaasen.
SRH 50/4 (5)
-
15:58 (IST)
DC vs SRH, IPL 2025 LIVE: HEAD GONE!
STARC AGAIN! Travis Head is gone! Sunrisers Hyderabad are 4-down, incredible! Pitched short by Starc, Head tries to pull, gloves it and KL Rahul does the rest behind the stumps. DC are on a roll, Sunrisers Hyderabad in tatters!
SRH 37/4 (4.1)
-
15:57 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: HEAD SURVIVES!
What is going on? This time, Travis Head is almost out at the non-striker’s end! Aniket hits it straight back, Mukesh gets a finger tip and it slams into the wickets at the non-striker. And Head survives, marginally!
SRH 37/3 (4)
-
15:55 (IST)
DC vs SRH LIVE Score: 4!
Travis Head, he’s still there! Huge pressure on him now, but as long as he is at the crease, SRH have hope. This time, picks up Mukesh’s delivery over the covers, clears the inside circle and grabs 4 runs.
SRH 35/3 (3.4)
