IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's SRH vs DC match

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will meet Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 55 of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday, May 5. SRH are languishing in ninth place in the points table, with six points from 10 games. On the other hand, DC are in fifth position, with 12 points from 10 games.

Hyderabad need to win all their remaining matches and then hope that other results go their way to secure qualification for the IPL 2025 playoffs. They have, however, lost three of their last four matches. Their famed openers have failed to deliver consistently, although Abhishek Sharma did score a half-century in the last game. Their bowling has been below par in most games.

Delhi began IPL 2025 with four consecutive wins. However, they have lost four of their last six matches. Another defeat will put their qualification hopes in jeopardy. Chasing totals has been DC's Achilles' heel in the tournament. In their previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as well, they faltered in a chase of 205, slipping from 136-3 to finish on 190-9.

In the head-to-head numbers, SRH have a slender 13-12 lead over DC. A number of impressive milestones could be achieved by players from both sides in match number 55 of IPL 2025 on Monday. Here's a lowdown.
