MPL: Bhopal Leopards & Jabalpur Royal Lions match abandoned due to rain
Gwalior: The second match of the Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL) Scindia Cup between Bhopal Leopards and Jabalpur Royal Lions at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium remained unfinished due to persistent rain. Both teams received one point each as a result of the weather-affected match. The game could not advance beyond the first innings. Jabalpur's decision to field first after winning the toss appeared advantageous. Jabalpur Royal Lions displayed tactical awareness by choosing to bowl first. Their decision proved fruitful as Bhopal Leopards struggled early in their innings. The powerplay overs were particularly challenging for Bhopal, who lost three crucial wickets whilst scoring 55 runs. The match highlighted some notable performances and setbacks. The much-anticipated return of IPL player Aniket Verma was brief, managing only a solitary six. This was a stark contrast to his previous MPL season's dominant display as the leading run-scorer and six-hitter. Bhopal's batting lineup faced further pressure when half their side was dismissed with just 90 runs on the board. However, Madhav Tiwari, recently signed by Delhi Capitals, demonstrated his worth with a composed knock. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Normanton: People Born 1945-1975 Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Read More Undo His unbeaten 31 runs from 20 balls helped stabilise the innings. The weather intervention came when Bhopal reached 130 for 6 in 16 overs. The officials waited patiently for 90 minutes, hoping for conditions to improve. However, the persistent rainfall left no choice but to abandon the match. Following tournament regulations, both teams were awarded one point each. This outcome, while not ideal for either side, maintains their position in the league standings. The match served as a reminder of cricket's dependence on weather conditions, despite the best preparations and talents on display. The abandonment also means both teams will need to make the most of their remaining fixtures to strengthen their position in the tournament.

SRH vs DC LIVE Score, IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad takes on Delhi Capitals; Streaming info, Predicted XI
PREVIEW Having entered the season as one of the title favourites, failure on all fronts has reduced Sunrisers Hyderabad to an also-ran in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. While some convoluted mathematics keep the side in contention for the playoffs, Sunrisers have long lost control over their destiny coming into the clash with Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Monday. When these two teams met in Visakhapatnam at the end of March, Mitchell Starc wreaked havoc. Sunrisers were four wickets down inside the PowerPlay and were staring at an embarrassingly low score until Aniket Verma announced his arrival with an exquisite knock (74, 41b, 5x4, 6x6), which, in the end, went in vain. - Anirudh Velamuri

Capitals will look to regain rhythm against a lacklustre Sunrisers
Having entered the season as one of the title favourites, failure on all fronts has reduced Sunrisers Hyderabad to an also-ran in IPL 2025. While some convoluted mathematics keep the side in contention for the playoffs, Sunrisers have long lost control over their destiny coming into the clash with Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Monday. When these two teams met in Visakhapatnam at the end of March, Mitchell Starc wreaked havoc. Sunrisers were four wickets down inside the PowerPlay and were staring at an embarrassingly low score until Aniket Verma announced his arrival with an exquisite knock (74, 41b, 5x4, 6x6), which, in the end, went in vain. SRH breached the 200-run mark six times last season, but this time, it has done so just twice (vs Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings). Its 300-run ambitions have been reduced to dust. With a bowling unit that has largely lacked zing, the team has folded without much of a fight more often than not. Capitals, too, have seen their form stutter in recent weeks. Having won their first four matches and topping the table then, they have won just two of the last six games, one via a Super Over. DC will look to regain rhythm heading into the season's business end. Axar Patel has seemingly recovered from the injury he picked up against the Kolkata Knight Riders a few days ago. His return to full fitness will boost the side heading into this must-win contest.
