HYDERABAD, India — Rain washed out Sunrisers Hyderabad’s slim chance of qualifying for the Indian Premier League playoffs on Monday. Captain Pat Cummins' three-wicket burst with the new ball limited Delhi Capitals to 133-7 before heavy rain and the wet outfield denied further play.

NEW DELHI - Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori felt the slow pitches on their home ground did not suit their free-scoring batters after the side crashed out of the playoff race of this year's Indian Premier League.

Last year’s runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) became the third team to be knocked out from the playoffs race in the Indian Premier League (IPL) when their match against Delhi Capitals (DC) was washed out due to rain in Hyderabad on Monday.
