In a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match, the Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on the Delhi Capitals on Monday and the Orange Army needs to win the match to stay alive in the playoff race. The all-important match will take place at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad.

Last season, the Pat Cummins led Sunrisers were at their absolute aggressive best as the team reached the finals and played some brilliant attacking cricket which mesmerised everyone. However, this season, the campaign has gone downhill as the side languishes at second last in the points table.

This game is a do-or-die match for the Sunrisers and here are the scenarios for SRH to qualify for the playoffs.

How SRH can qualify for IPL playoffs?

First and foremost, SRH have 4 matches left and they need to win every game to stay alive in the competition. Currently they have 6 points, and if they win the remaining 4 matches, SRH will reach 14 points, which, might not be enough for them to qualify, however, here are the possible ways the miracle can take place. Also, the team needs to improve its net run-rate, which is currently -1.190.

RCB, PBKS and MI look to have sealed their spot with GT almost guaranteed, but there is stil question marks over their place. Also, DC is also in contention, hence, SRH needs to do better than DC and GT to qualify.

This is the ideal scenario for SRH, but the task looks difficult, perhaps impossible due to their own net run rate and improving it will take a lot out of the team. However, last season, RCB qualified for the playoffs with 14 pointS in their bag and SRH could take inspiration as they aim to do the unthinkable.
