Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to clash in the 10th match of IPL 2025 on Sunday, March 30, at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
Match Preview
DC will be looking to build on their momentum after a thrilling last-over victory against Lucknow Super Giants. In that match, they chose to bowl first, and despite Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran leading LSG to 209/8, DC staged a dramatic chase. They stumbled early, losing four wickets in the powerplay, but a crucial 48-run stand between Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma steadied the innings. In the end, Vipraj Nigam’s quickfire knock and Ashutosh’s composure guided DC to a narrow one-wicket win with just three balls remaining. The return of KL Rahul to the squad after missing the first game due to personal reasons adds further strength to their lineup.
On the other hand, SRH started their IPL 2025 campaign with an emphatic 44-run victory over Rajasthan Royals. A dominant batting performance from Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Kumar Reddy powered them to a massive 286/6. Their bowlers then ensured a comfortable win, restricting Rajasthan to 242/6. However, their momentum took a hit in the next game against Lucknow, where they struggled on a batting-friendly surface, posting just 190. Despite Marsh and Pooran’s brilliance for LSG, SRH failed to defend their total, losing by five wickets.
