Rain Ends Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Playoff Dreams

Sunrisers Hyderabad are out of the IPL playoff race — and rain is to blame.

Their Monday night clash with Delhi Capitals got washed out before the second innings even began. Hyderabad had bowled well, holding Delhi to just 133 runs. Win looked possible. But rain had other plans.

With the match called off, both teams walked away with 1 point each. That’s bad news for Hyderabad — they now have just 7 points from 11 games (3 wins, 1 draw), and even if they win all their last 3 games, they’ll only reach 13 points — not enough for playoffs.

Delhi, though, still has hope. They’re sitting at 5th with 13 points from 11 games. Win just 2 of their last 3, and they’re cruising into the playoffs with 17 points.

So yeah — it’s game over for Hyderabad, but Delhi’s still in the mix.
