Heavy rains lashed Hyderabad right after the first innings of the Indian Premier League match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals ended on Monday evening. Being asked to bat first, Delhi Capitals slumped to 29/5 and then 62/6 before Ashutosh Sharma (41 off 26) and Tristan Stubbs (unbeaten 41) salvaged some runs and posted a 134-run target on board. For Hyderabad, who opted to rest Mohammed Shami, captain Pat Cummins was the star, taking three wickets on the evening. In fact, he took all three wickets as Delhi were reduced to 15/3. He ended the innings giving away just 19 runs in his four overs.

Tanishq Vaddi, The Indian Express’ reporter on the ground at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, wrote: “The heavens have opened up quite suddenly here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. While the groundmen were doing their job during the innings break the rain started to pour. It started as a harmless-looking drizzle. But after a thunderstorm it has started to pour down and the ground is now fully covered.”
Tanishq reports that the SRH vs DC game has to start by 10:33 pm (which is just 20 minutes from now) or else we will start having overs getting reduced. By 11.42 pm, the umpires need to be assured that at least five-overs game can happen.
