Persistent rain forced match officials to call off the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday.
SRH now have seven points from 11 matches and are out of contention for the playoffs, while DC moved to 13 points from 11 games and sit fifth on the table.

The match was called off due to a wet outfield. The two captains shook hands as both teams shared a point each. SRH have been officially knocked out of the competition, becoming the third team after Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals to be eliminated from the playoffs race.
Earlier, after being 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 captain Pat Cummins set the tone, bowling well on a wicket that assisted the pacers. He dismissed Karun Nair off the first ball of the innings, then Faf du Plessis, and finally Abhishek Porel, putting DC under significant pressure.
Axar Patel and KL Rahul tried to break free but couldn't establish a strong partnership. Vipraj Nigam had a brief stay before he was run out after a significant misunderstanding between the wickets with Tristan Stubbs.
Then Stubbs was joined by impact substitute Ashutosh Sharma, who batted extremely well. Sharma scored a feisty 41 in quick time, which allowed DC to breach the 130-run mark.
Stubbs tried to accelerate but struggled as the wicket wasn't the easiest to play shots on.

SRH needed 134 runs to win the match, but not a single ball was bowled in their innings as it started pouring down during the innings break.

Delhi Capitals: 133/7 in 20 overs (Ashutosh Sharma 41, Tristan Stubbs 41 not out; Pat Cummins 3/19, Jaydev Unadkat 1/13) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
