Ishant Sharma's three-wicket haul and strong performances from Abishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs led the Delhi Capitals to a 19-run victory over the Lucknow Super Giants in a high-scoring IPL 2024 match. Despite a strong batting effort from LSG, DC's total of 208 proved too much to chase, leaving the Super Giants' playoff hopes in jeopardy. With only one game left in the league stage, DC must rely on other results to secure a playoff spot while LSG's poor net run rate puts them at a disadvantage.
The Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants may have been battling it out on the field, but it was fielding that stole the show. With breathtaking catches and costly drops, both teams fought hard for dominance. However, it was LSG Captain KL Rahul's criticism of Ravi Bishnoi's missed catch on DC's Jake Fraser-McGurk that sparked debate. On the other hand, one catch that has captured everyone's attention was LSG's Nicholas Pooran's stunning airborne catch that left even the spectators in awe. Despite the ups and downs, this catch was undoubtedly a standout moment in the match.
In an exciting match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, DC came out victorious thanks to a strong partnership between Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubb.
