Rain stops play after SRH keep DC to 133/7
Hyderabad, May 5 (PTI): Rain stopped play after Sunrisers Hyderabad restricted Delhi Capitals to 133 for seven in their IPL match here on Monday.
Sent in to bat, DC suffered a top-order collapse but recovered to post a respectable score following a 66-run partnership in 45 balls between Tristan Stubbs (41 not out) and No. 8 Ashutosh Sharma (41) for the seventh wicket.
DC were reduced to 29/5 in 7.1 overs after incisive spells from SRH skipper Pat Cummins (3/19) and Jaydev Unadkat (1/13).
SRH will be out of the playoffs race if the game is washed out.
