Rain spoiled the game, points were shared
As the match was about to reach an exciting turn, clouds gathered in the sky and heavy rain engulfed the stadium. SRH had to achieve the target of 134 runs, but rain stopped the game before their innings could start. Ultimately the umpires declared the match canceled in view of the weather.

Pre-match situation: SRH wreaks havoc on Delhi’s innings
The first half played before the rain was completely in the name of SRH captain Pat Cummins and his bowling unit. After winning the toss, SRH decided to bowl first and Cummins gave the first blow to Delhi by clean bowling Karun Nair on the very first ball.
After this, it was as if Cummins wreaked havoc. In the following two overs, he got rid of both Faf du Plessis and Abhishek Porel. At the end of the powerplay of 6 overs, Delhi was reeling at 26 for 4. The pressure of SRH bowlers on the batsmen was so dominant that it became difficult to even score runs.
The morale of the middle order also broke
After this bad start, Delhi fans were hoping that the middle order would recover, but Jaydev Unadkat dismissed KL Rahul and Pat Cummins took a brilliant catch to dismiss Akshar Patel as well. After 10 overs, Delhi’s score was just 47/5 and the situation was very delicate.
Ashutosh and Stubbs showed a glimpse of the fight
When it seemed that Delhi would not be able to reach even 100 runs, then Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs handled the innings to some extent. Both of them together made a partnership of 66 runs, in which Ashutosh scored 41 runs in 28 balls and Tristan Stubbs scored an unbeaten 41 runs to take the team to 133/7.
Cummins took 3 wickets for only 19 runs in 4 overs and also took a brilliant catch. Both his captaincy and bowling were excellent and he remained in command of SRH throughout the match.
Rain came before SRH’s innings, excitement was lost
After the end of Delhi’s innings, SRH batsmen were preparing to enter the field when suddenly the clouds in the sky changed color and in no time it started raining heavily. The ground staff tried their best to save the ground but the rain was not stopping.
It was waited for about 2 hours, but as time passed, it became clear that the match would not be able to start again. Eventually the umpires declared the match cancelled and ended the game by giving one point each to both the teams.
What does the points table say and the journey ahead?
