Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals are to fight on Match 55 of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Fans want to see how the pitch holds for an important late-season encounter. Both teams crave the win: Delhi looks to salvage their patchy season under Axar Patel, while Hyderabad, hence Cummins, want to fulfill their potential.
Typically, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has had high-scoring affairs, the pitch mainly batting-friendly due to the bounce. So far, recent encounters have managed to throw some spanners in the works. Sunrisers, in their last fixture, set the lowest ever first-innings total of 143. That target was chased in less than 16 overs with ease, suggesting that the pitch looks good for the batsman yet is also assisting the fast bowlers somewhat, especially under the lights.

Seam bowlers will get some assistance early with the new ball, should there be any moisture or grass on the pitch. Meanwhile, spinners will come into effect in the middle overs; however, seems this can still be a rewarding venue for batting if they settle down.
So far, dew has barely played a factor in evening matches, keeping the toss important. For this reason, the captains might prefer chasing considering the uncertainty ahead of how the pitch will play early on and that generally, teams have found it easier to bat second.
