Second Innings

After nearly two hours of heavy rain, the two umpires discussed the situation on the field with the ground staff and decided to call off the game to avoid the risk of any injuries at this stage. Both SRH and DC shared one point each, but the chances of the Pat Cummins-led side reaching the Playoffs are officially done now. On the other hand, DC are still alive in the tournament and still stand at the 5th position in the Points Table but with 13 points now.
