**Visakhapatnam, India** – Delhi Capitals (DC) are off to a blistering start in their IPL 2025 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), reaching 66/0 after seven overs while chasing a 164-run target. Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul, making his DC debut after a paternity break, have provided a solid opening partnership.
SRH, after winning the toss and electing to bat, were bowled out for a paltry 162. Their innings was marred by a disastrous powerplay, losing four quick wickets – Abhishek Sharma (run out), Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, and Travis Head – all falling prey to DC’s pace attack. Mitchell Starc was the star performer for DC, taking a remarkable five-wicket haul. Despite a half-century from uncapped SRH player Aniket Verma, no other SRH batter could significantly contribute, leaving their team with a challenging total to defend. The match is underway at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
