The match may have been washed, but the big point to remember is the strong performance of SRH Bowling. A victory would have been great, but the only point that we missed is not a huge difference at this stage. The intimate to remember is that the team has shown its true potential. Hopefully that …

This abandonment of the match is a huge blessing for DC and a small setback for PBKS. They then face each other and if DC wins this Wednesday, they would exceed the PBK in the table of points based on NRR.
Starc, Mukesh, Chameera, Nattu – I think DC would appreciate Dharamshala.

Delhi, if you don’t do anything about this opening, nothing will be important. I left with 1 point, should have lost 2, let’s see if they learn and come well with the bat and make better decisions.# IPL2025
