LSG vs DC LIVE: 6 bowlers in 8 overs

Ravi Bishnoi bowls out an economical over, conceding only 7 runs, but LSG have got just one wicket. Digvesh Rathi then bowls out another tidy over, but once again, without any wicket. DC batters playing cautioously for now, with Rahul batting at a strike rate of under 100.

DC 69/1 (9)

LSG vs DC LIVE: RAHUL SURVIVES!

Close DRS call! KL Rahul was trapped on the pads by Digvesh Rathi. The umpire gave not out, but Digvesh urged Pant to go for the review. Hawkeye shows impact is outside the line, and KL Rahul survives.

DC 59/1 (7)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Powerplay ends

Delhi Capitals have scored 54 runs in the powerplay, losing just one wicket. A lot of boundaries in there. With Porel well set and KL Rahul there, DC are on the front foot in this chase of 160. Pant and LSG need some quick wickets.

DC 54/1 (6)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Rahul, Porel dealing in boundaries

Avesh Khan into the attack and greeted with a boundary by KL Rahul. Once again, a silky smooth flick shot that runs away for 4 through fine leg. Porel gets into the act three balls later, elegant! Low full toss, timed through the off side. 50 up for DC.

DC 53/1 (5.4)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 4!

KL Rahul down the leg side, first boundary! Deft flick, runs through fine leg for a boundary. Prince Yadav is the first bowler to bowl more than one over today, and he wraps up a decent over on the whole. Concedes just 6 runs.

DC 44/1 (5)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Here comes KL Rahul!

KL Rahul is out to bat against LSG! Once his home for three years, KL has the important responsibility now of anchoring this DC run chase. He has hit two half-centuries in IPL 2025, can he get a third today?

DC 39/1 (4.1)

LSG vs DC LIVE: SIX! OUT!

Karun Nair goes big! First maximum of the Delhi Capitals innings. Fuller by Markram, tossed up, Nair gives himself room and smashes it back over the bowler’s head for 6. And Markram strikes back! Hits Nair on the pads and crashes back onto his stumps.

LSG vs DC LIVE: 7 off the over

Prince Yadav gives away 7 runs in his first over. DC are off to a fairly good start here, thanks to their Indian openers. Pant has now changed bowlers again, and Markram has been handed the ball! This is really unique from LSG, will it work?

DC 28/0 (3)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Instant change

Rishabh Pant does not keep Shardul Thakur in the attack, hands the ball to Prince Yadav for the third over. Sharp start by him, as he bowls a bouncer to Porel. Next ball, Porel takes revenge! Slapped down the track for 4.

DC 25/0 (2.3)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Digvesh in!

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals LIVE: Winnable target

It is a target that Delhi Capitals would fancy themselves to chase down. KL Rahul will be at the crease, likely at No. 3, and would hope to take victory at his former home ground. Abishek Porel and Karun Nair have played a few lively innings off late too.

LSG vs DC LIVE: 20 runs short?

Ayush Badoni, speaking after the innings, says that 180 would’ve been a par score on the wicket. LSG had a great start, openers Markram and Marsh put up 87 for the first wicket. But after Markram departed, LSG struggled and could manage 159 only after Badoni got some late boundaries. Great bowling by DC.

LSG vs DC LIVE: PANT OUT!

Mukesh ends with a bang! Duck for Rishabh Pant. Dot on his first ball, tries a reverse scoop on the final ball, but the ball ricochets off his pads and crashes onto the wicket. Mukesh strikes, fourth wicket for him. LSG muster only 159.

LSG 159/6 (20 overs)

DC Target: 160

LSG vs DC LIVE: OUT!

And Badoni departs! A superb cameo comes to an end, he departs for 36 runs off just 21 balls. Tries to go for the scoop, plays it onto his stumps. Mukesh gets his third wicket. And here comes Rishabh Pant! He’ll get two balls to make an impact.

LSG 159/5 (19.4)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 4, 4, 4 Badoni!

Ayush Badoni is on a roll! Three boundaries in a row for Badoni to start off the final over, picks out the gaps on the off-side. Mukesh going for the wide yorkers, missing his length and Badoni hands out the punishment. The third ball slashed for 4 more through point now!

LSG 159/4 (19.3)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 1 over to go!

LSG manage to get only 9 runs off Starc’s final over. Great spell in the end by the Australian, he ends with figures of 1/25 in four overs. One last over left for LSG to try and score big. 160 should be the minimum target.

LSG 147/4 (19)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Ramp, 4!

Ayush Badoni gets 4 more! Starc misses his yorker and the full toss is whipped away over third man for a boundary. He is giving LSG some crucial runs here at the death, and trying to bolster them towards a 160+ total.

LSG 144/4 (18.2)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Much-needed boundary!

Ayush Badoni gets his second boundary of the innings. Slammed through the off-side, excellent shot by the right-hander. ‘Pocket rocket’ says Graeme Swann in the commentary box. 9 comes off Chameera’s over.

LSG 139/4 (18)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Bad day for Kuldeep

Kuldeep Yadav bowls out. A rare wicketless day in IPL 2025 for the chinaman. A tight final over, concedes only 6 runs, but ends with figures of 0/33 in his four overs today. Three overs to go for LSG, 170 would need a big push.

LSG 130/4 (17)

LSG vs DC LIVE: DROPPED!

Tristan Stubbs has put down a simple catch! Ayush Badoni didn’t really get the timing on it, it was sailing towards Stubbs at deep point but he’s dropped it. Big reprieve for LSG. Mukesh Kumar is bowling a superb middle overs spell. Should’ve had a third wicket.

LSG vs DC LIVE: 5 overs to go

Ayush Badoni has been in decent form off late, and he and David Miller have to take responsibility and rescue the LSG innings. After an opening partnership of 87, LSG’s momentum has completely faded. 

LSG 118/4 (15)

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals LIVE: OUT!

Mitch Marsh is gone! Mukesh Kumar delivers two wickets in one over! Fantastic yorker, dismantles Marsh’s stumps. He goes for 45. And Rishabh Pant is still not out to bat. Ayush Badoni has been sent in. Is it because of Pant’s hand injury?

LSG 110/4 (14)

LSG vs DC LIVE: OUT!

OUT! Abdul Samad is gone! 2 runs off just 8 balls, Mukesh Kumar has delivered a wicket for Delhi Capitals. The call to not send Pant out at No. 4 has not worked! And guess what? He still hasn’t come out. It is David Miller instead.

LSG 107/3 (13.2)

LSG vs DC: “Why is Rishabh Pant not batting?”

That is the question raised by Shane Watson in the commentary box. Pant has struggled for form this season, that is no secret. But with a good platform set, he hasn’t come out to bat. Commentators debate whether it is due to the time he would take to settle in at the crease.

LSG 107/2 (13)

LSG vs DC LIVE: No Rishabh Pant!

Rishabh Pant has surprisingly not come out to bat at No. 4. Instead, Abdul Samad, usually a lower-order pinch-hitter, has come out to bat earlier. Big call taken by LSG, but it begs the question: where will Pant bat?

LSG 99/2 (12)

LSG vs DC LIVE: OUT!

Nicholas Pooran is gone! MITCH STARC HAS DONE IT! Fifth time he has got the dangerous left-hander out. Pooran goes for a wild sweep, but the ball is slightly slower, and Pooran ends up chopping it back onto his stumps. Big wicket.

LSG 99/2 (11.2)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 4, 4 Pooran!

Kuldeep Yadav brought into the attack, and he’s taken to the fence by Nicholas Pooran. The West Indian powerhitter executes two sweeps to perfection, and picks up two boundaries off the chinaman. He will be hoping to play a big knock and reclaim the Orange Cap from Sai Sudharsan.

LSG 98/1 (11)

LSG vs DC LIVE: OUT!

Chameera strikes! Surprise entry into the DC playing XI, and he’s broken the partnership. Aiden Markram departs after a well-made half-century. It was a great over by Chameera, and he caps it off by taking a wicket on the last ball.

LSG 87/1 (10)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 50 for Markram!

Aiden Markram, 50! The South African continues his excellent form with the bat, and LSG are soaring at the moment. He gets there in 30 balls. Delhi Capitals are in dire need of a wicket, but it looks unlikely with the form these two are in.

LSG 82/0 (9)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 75 after 8!

Mitch Marsh hits another boundary! LSG’s opening pair has worked wonders yet again, and Delhi Capitals are on the back foot. They need to break this partnership quickly, because Marsh and Markram look in incredible form.

LSG 75/0 (8)

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals LIVE: Markram dropped!

Oh dear, Aiden Markram has been dropped! Right after a six, Markram goes for another big one but mistimes it terribly. It went high up into the air and Starc arrived from mid-on to try and grab it. Difficult chance, but he has put it down. Markram upto 45.

LSG 68/0 (7.2)
