Heavy rain on Monday washed out the Indian Premier League match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. Both teams received one point apiece.
With the match ending in a no result, Pat Cummins' SRH were knocked out of the playoffs race. The result also put DC's chances in limbo.

Axar Patel's team's next three matches are against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Gujarat Titans (GT), and Mumbai Indians (MI). They will now have to win at least two of those matches to remain in contention for the playoffs.
Earlier in the evening, after being sent in to bat, SRH restricted DC to a modest 133/7.
Cummins struck in the first over, dismissing Karun Nair with the first delivery of the match. A well-pitched delivery in the corridor induced an edge to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan, who was replacing Heinrich Klaasen behind the stumps.
The SRH skipper claimed his second wicket when Faf du Plessis edged behind to Kishan after advancing down the track, leaving Delhi at 6/2 in 2.1 overs.
Cummins completed his early assault by removing Abhishek Porel in his third over. A delivery that stopped on the pitch resulted in a leading edge that Kishan caught after running towards square leg.
The fielding excellence continued as Cummins took a spectacular one-handed catch at mid-off to dismiss Axar Patel off Harshal Patel's bowling.

Jaydev Unadkat added to Delhi's troubles by having Rahul Tewatia caught behind, marking a historic moment as all top four batsmen were dismissed caught by the wicketkeeper for the first time in IPL history.
Delhi found themselves reeling at 29/5 in the eighth over before Tristan Stubbs and debutant Vipraj Nigam attempted to rebuild the innings.
Their 33-run partnership ended in unusual circumstances when both batsmen ended up at the keeper's end, resulting in Vipraj's run-out.
Impact Player Ashutosh Sharma , who replaced Porel, provided some resistance with an attacking innings. He hit two sixes off Zeeshan Ansari and continued his assault against Harshal Patel and Eshan Malinga.
Ashutosh's quickfire 41 off 28 balls, along with Stubbs' contribution of 41 runs, helped Delhi recover from their early collapse to post 133/7 in their allocated 20 overs.
Cummins finished with impressive figures of 3 for 19, while Unadkat provided good support with 1 for 13. The pitch offered assistance to the pace bowlers throughout the innings.
