How the Momentum Has Shifted
SRH were dominant in the early years. They won both games in 2013 and 2014, sweeping Delhi convincingly in their first two seasons as a franchise. Delhi hit back with a clean sweep of their own in 2016, one of their most dominant series in this fixture.
The rivalry stayed competitive through 2017 to 2020 with results going back and forth. Delhi had the stronger run from 2019 to 2022, winning seven of ten meetings across that stretch. SRH bounced back with a 67-run win in 2024, their biggest margin in this fixture, before Delhi won the first meeting in 2025.
| Period | SRH Wins | DC Wins | Matches |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 to 2018 | 8 | 3 | 11 |
| 2019 to 2025 | 5 | 9 | 14 |
SRH controlled the first half completely but Delhi have been the better side across the last six seasons. That shift is what makes the overall record so tight at 13-12.
