IPL 2025: Starc’s Five-for & Du Plessis’ 27-ball Fifty Lead DC To Seven-wicket Victory Over SRH (ld)
Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc picked an incredible 5-35, while vice-captain Faf du Plessis hit a delightful 27-ball fifty as an all-round Delhi Capitals secured a clinical seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad to remain unbeaten in IPL 2025 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
On a pitch showing signs of grip, Starc’s three scalps in power play pushed SRH on backfoot early on, before cleaning up the tail to finish with his first five-fer in T20 cricket, with his change of pace being a standout factor of his spell.
Supporting him well were Kuldeep Yadav’s 3-22 and Mohit Sharma’s 1-25. For SRH, uncapped batter Aniket Verma’s brilliant 41-ball 74 and him sharing a 77-run stand off just 40 balls with Heinrich Klaasen were the only bright spots in an innings where the side’s power-packed batting line-up again faltered in their pursuit of making big runs.
