Match Verdict
Delhi Capitals dismantled Lucknow's modest 141 with 17 balls to spare, despite losing three wickets inside the first 5 overs. Sameer Rizvi's unbeaten 70 off 47 anchored the chase expertly, and Tristan Stubbs (39* off 32) helped finish the job in comfort. LSG's bowling had been excellent – Natarajan and Ngidi each took 3 wickets – but it wasn't enough given a low first-innings total.
