Delhi Capitals secured a significant victory by defeating Lucknow Super Giants with six wickets, marking a historic moment as LSG couldn’t defend a target exceeding 160 on their home ground for the first time in an Indian Premier League match at Ekana Cricket Stadium. This win propelled Delhi Capitals from the bottom of the table to the ninth position after comfortably chasing down 168 runs with eleven balls remaining.
Despite a late surge from Ayush Badoni and Arshad Khan, who contributed to a competitive total for LSG, DC, led by debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk and captain Rishabh Pant, responded effectively. Despite a shaky start with David Warner’s dismissal, Fraser-McGurk and Prithvi Shaw’s partnership in the powerplay lifted Delhi’s spirits.
Although LSG struck back with Shaw’s dismissal, Fraser-McGurk’s resilient batting, complemented by Pant’s aggressive approach, ensured DC’s victory. LSG faced early setbacks with Quinton de Kock and Devdutt Padikkal’s dismissals, but KL Rahul’s aggressive innings provided some resistance.
However, Kuldeep Yadav’s three-wicket haul and effective bowling from other DC bowlers limited LSG to 167/7. In response, DC’s solid batting performance, led by Fraser-McGurk and Pant, guided them to victory with a score of 170/4.
