IPL 2026, LSG vs DC Highlights: Sameer Rizvi (70) and Tristan Stubbs (39) helped Delhi Capitals recover from an early setback where they lost KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana and Axar Patel before even crossing 30, as they won the match against Lucknow Super Giants by 6 wickets.
Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan took 3 wickets apiece as Delhi Capitals skittled Lucknow Super Giants to an underwhelming 141 runs. LSG’s big hitter Rishabh Pant, Mitch Marsh, Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram all failed to fire with Abdul Samad’s 36 off 25 the highest score.
Axar Patel’s Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday. The teams have more or less gone with familiar lineups but one surprise was Delhi leaving out Ranji winning star Auqib Nabi from this clash.
Both LSG and DC had a middling season in IPL 2025, failing to make it into the top four. While Delhi finished fifth and missed out on the playoff spot by just one point, Lucknow finished seventh with six wins from 14 league games. In head-to-head, Delhi have won four of the seven meetings between the two sides, while Lucknow have won three.
