Faf du Plessis has scored 50 off 27 balls as Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets to secure a second consecutive win in the 2025 Indian Premier League.

Sunrisers spinner Zeeshan Ansari dismissed both players on his IPL debut to put the brakes on with 3-42. However, Abishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs finished unbeaten on 34 and 21 respectively as they got Delhi over the line with 30 balls to spare.

Axar Patel will be key for Delhi Capitals in tonight’s clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The DC skipper brings a wealth of experience across 151 matches, with 123 wickets and 1,675 runs to his name. He chipped in with a quick 22 off 11 balls in his first outing this season and bowled an economical spell despite going wicketless.
