It seems that the day did not start off on a positive note for the Orange Army today! As Delhi Capitals (DC) face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 30, 2025, SRH have lost 4 wickets already.
Abhishek Sharma was the first one to go out off a run out, but the other three wickets were taken by Mitchell Starc, who was on complete fire. Amid this, when the Australian bowler ended up bowling one down the leg side in the third over, it was a short delivery. On the other hand, DC's KL Rahul moved to his left to catch the ball; he unfortunately stopped it, and the ball ran away towards the fence.
Moreover, during this time period, the five crucial runs were given away to SRH, with the umpire indicating it as a wide ball.
