**New Delhi, March 25, 2025** – The Delhi Capitals pulled off a stunning victory against the Lucknow Super Giants in a nail-biting IPL 2025 match yesterday. Chasing a massive 210-run target, Delhi initially struggled but ultimately secured a win thanks to spectacular innings from Ashutosh Sharma (66* off 31 balls) and Viprat Nigam (39 off 15 balls).
Lucknow, batting first, posted a formidable 209/8, fueled by destructive performances from Mitchell Marsh (72 off 36) and Nicholas Pooran (75 off 30). Delhi’s chase was fraught with peril, losing half their wickets at 65 runs. However, Sharma, Stubbs (34 off 22), and Nigam steered the team to victory, needing only 6 runs off the final over. A missed stumping by Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant and a crucial six by Sharma sealed the thrilling win for Delhi. This is Delhi’s first-ever successful chase of a 210+ target in IPL history, and also marks the first time any team has successfully chased a 200+ score against Lucknow.
Delhi captain Axar Patel commented on the match, highlighting the fluctuating nature of the game and expressing relief at the victory. He also addressed the controversial decision to bowl Tristan Stubbs in the 13th over, a move that saw Pooran smash 28 runs in a single over.
The match was filled with dramatic moments, making it one of the most thrilling contests in IPL history. The win marks a significant achievement for Delhi Capitals in this year’s tournament.
