Indian Premier League 2025: Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals, Mukesh Kumar gives DC a huge success with his bowling

Today’s match between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants is dominated by Delhi’s team as they stop LSG at the low target score of 159.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl first in the first half of the match to attack LSG with their bowlers.

Aiden Makram and Mitchell Marsh give a fantastic start to Lucknow Super Giants as they build a partnership of 87 runs.

Aiden Makram got out after completing his half-century, which started the downfall for Lucknow Super Giants.

Mitchell Marsh’s run rate also decreased with Makram getting out, after which a quick succession of wickets fell in Delhi’s favour.

Nicholas Puran was caught bold by Mitchell Starc, and Abdul Samad was also sent back without even making 10 runs each.

Mukesh Kumar became the most efficient bowler for Delhi Capitals as he succeeded in taking 4 important wickets in today’s match.

David Miller and Abdul Samad were sent before captain Rishabh Pant, which left the experts a bit confused.

Rishabh Pant plays 2 balls, gets out in the second ball by Mukesh

The fans thought that Rishabh Pant should have come earlier in the batting order, which could have led Lucknow Super Giants to a bigger total.

Ayush Badoni proved to be a useful player as he accelerated LSG in the death overs and hit three consecutive boundaries in the last over.

Rishabh Pant was seen pacing at the boundary with a frustrated face, which led to many discussions about his delay in the batting order.

Pant came into the field with two balls left for LSG and was bowled out by Mukesh Kumar on the last ball of the innings.

LSG only managed to lodge 159 runs despite getting such a great start from their openers.

Axar Patel and KL Rahul showed great coordination to crush LSG’s batting lineup and now have to chase 160 runs in 20 overs in the second innings of the match.
