IPL 2025: SRH vs DC Match Prediction, Who Will Win Today Match 55?

In the last seven SRH vs DC head-to-head encounters of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Delhi Capitals (DC), the Axar Patel-led side is leading by a margin of 5-2.

The two sides will meet each other on May 05, 2025, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Both franchises are fighting hard in the business end, but for different reasons in the campaign.

Going into the SRH vs DC event of the 2025 season, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have not cracked the code for the powerplay like the previous season, when they finished at the bottom of the points table. Hyderabad has nailed 503 runs in 10 innings at an average of 26.47 and a strike rate of 139.72 in the first six overs.

The aggressive pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head haven’t been the same lethal with the bat. They nailed just 71 boundaries and 15 sixes in the edition, with the best score of 94 runs against the Rajasthan Royals in the very first game. Losing 19 wickets in 10 innings has not helped them either in this department.

Meanwhile, for the Delhi Capitals, they are in the same position with a strike rate of 145 in the first six overs, smashing 522 runs in 10 innings at an average of 29. Before the SRH vs DC clash, they will depend a lot on Abhishek Porel, who has shown the freedom to take on the bowlers from the start of the inning.

Delhi has lost 18 wickets in this department, which has never allowed them to get the required firepower. Also, Faf du Plessis was out of the team due to injuries, which also didn’t help them in getting the right balance and combination of the side.

Karun Nair, after the one clinical show against the Mumbai Indians, hasn’t done anything significant with the bat.
