DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 Highlights: Ashutosh powers Delhi to improbable win in first thriller of the season
- DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 Highlights: Ashutosh Sharma won it for DC with a six and finished unbeaten on 66 in 31 balls.
DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 Highlights: Ashutosh Sharma seems to have simply picked up from where he left off at the Punjab Kings, leading Delhi Capitals to victory almost single-handedly against Lucknow Super Giants in a chase of 210. Delhi Capitals' chase seemed to have been over even before it started as they lost half their side in just the first seven overs. Vipraj Nigam and Ashutosh Sharma gave them hope. Nigam smashed 39 in 15 balls and Ashutosh is now continuing the good fight for DC. He raised a half-century in 28 balls....Read More
Lucknow Super Giants got to a score of 209/8 in 20 overs despite being 161/2 in the 14th over at one point. DC put up an almighty squeeze after Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh's carnage ended. Pooran and Marsh put up a partnership of 87 runs in just 42 balls. Marsh scored 72 in 36 balls while Pooran made 75 in 30. Captain Rishabh Pant, however, fell for a duck on debut and it was all downhill for LSG with the bat from there.
Mitchell Starc's dismissal of the Marsh gave Delhi Capitals an opportunity to limit LSG to a chaseable total. Pooran smashed 75 in 30 balls but was cleaned up by Starc in the 15th over. Marsh was earlier dismissed for 72 off 36 balls by Mukesh Kumar.
Axar Patel earlier won his first toss as Delhi Capitals captain and chose to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants. KL Rahul's DC debut has been delayed, he is not available for this match against his former side. Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul's moves were among the biggest headline-makers during the mega auction and they both start their time with their new sides with a game against the teams that let them go. Quite a poetic start for both big-ticket players and the two sides they are playing for this season. It has to be noted, though, that there are question marks over whether Rahul will play at all today.
Delhi Capitals are hosting the Lucknow Super Giants to start off their 2025 IPL campaign but the game isn't exactly happening in Delhi itself. Instead, it Visakhapatnam is the venue for today's game, making it the second consecutive year that the DC has chosen the port city as their secondary home.
On paper, LSG arguably boast the most dangerous middle order in the league but it will be interesting to see if they keep Pant in there or send him out earlier, even as an opener. The obvious opening choices are Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh but a lack of an opening domestic option could hurt them given their injuries. Chances are high that Pant will be batting at No.3, with the wicketkeeper-batter generally looking much more at home in the top order in limited overs cricket.
Nicholas Pooran, who will be hoping he doesn’t have to carry the hopes of the batting himself, will come in at No.4. He will also have the insurance of the big-hitting David Miller to come in after him. The batting could be rounded out at number six by Abdul Samad as the specialist finisher, with Ayush Badoni figuring as the floating pinch-hit option.
As stated earlier, it remains to be seen whether Rahul will make his debut for DC, with captain Axar Patel remaining non-committal in the pre-match presser. "Obviously, he joined the team and we all know that he has a personal problem. So, we don't know yet. So, if he comes back, we ask him if he is okay and we'll let you know tomorrow morning. I think we've got to know and so, now we don't know if he is available or not,” said Axar.
If Rahul plays, he will be slotting in at No.4. Surely the opening pair for DC is going to be Faf du Plessis and the dangerous Jake Fraser-McGurk. At number three, DC might opt to go with Abhishek Porel. Powerful South African Tristan Stubbs can be pencilled in at number 5, but DC will know the option of promoting Axar Patel, particularly on turning tracks, in a role he has played to perfection across formats for India.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: ASHUTOSH WINS IT WITH A SIX! DC beat LSG by one wicket
DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Slot ball from Shahbaz for the second delivery and it is hammered into the sightscreen by Ashutosh! He has done here for DC exactly what he did time and again for PBKS last season. Delhi Capitals have actually chased down a target of 210 after being 65/5 at one point. And about 90 per cent of the credit for that goes to Ashutosh Sharma, with the rest to Vipraj Nigam. The 55-run partnership between them for the seventh wicket, which came in 22 balls, suddenly pulled the rug from under LSG's feet. But even after Nigam fell, Ashutosh had a lot to do and he did it with aplomb. This might just be one of the greatest innings of the season.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: SINGLE OFF THE SECOND BALL! Ashutosh is on strike!
DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Oh it's carnage out there in Vizag. Mohit misses the flick first ball, Pant misses a straightforward gather and knocks over the stumps. Or so it seems. Pant has reviewed it seems for an LBW. It isn't but the important thing is, it's a dot and Mohit stays on strike. However, Mohit taps the next ball to point and scrambles for a single. Ashutosh on strike now.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: DC NEED 6 TO WIN FROM THE LAST OVER!
DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: But the catch is that Ashutosh won't be on strike. Mohit Sharma has to somehow get Ashutosh on strike as early as possible in the final over. Ashutosh is doing some wizardry here. Kuldeep hits the first ball of the 19th by Prince for four but he is run out off the third. Ashutosh runs two off the fourth ball to get to fifty in 28 balls. The fifth is smashed down town, Pooran dives but can't stop it from going for six. The last is a low full toss, Ashutosh sends it through midwicket for four!
He is at the non-striker's end on 60 in 30 balls, Shahbaz Ahmed to bowl the last over.

The last is clobbered on to the sight screen. Ashutosh Sharma, what in the world are you made of?

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Well something's got to give. Stubbs and Ashutosh have tried to squeeze out singles and doubles throughout the 12th over by Prince Yadav, just six runs in it and DC continue to sink. At the same time, LSG would know just how easily these two batters can flip the tables on them. So either sixes or wickets coming quite quickly and M Siddharth will either bear the brunt or benefit from the situation in the 13th over.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: DC's required rate creeps above 11.50

A single after that and then Ashutosh Sharma sends the third ball over cover for four. But that is all the runs that come from that over and it is not enough at the moment for DC.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: M Siddharth bowls the second over and he strikes as well! What is going on, here? This is a very good catch by Pant. His movement to the leg side left him wrong footed when Rizvi edged while trying drive the ball but managed to make it stick anywhow.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2025: Fielders were increasingly slipping and sliding as that innings went along and so there is a lot of dew there. Has this incredible late squeeze done the job for DC? Mohit Sharma bowls the last over. Miller swings away at everything and finally connects fifth ball, sends it over square leg for six. Then he hits the last one in front of square for another. That has taken LSG past the 200-run mark. They have got to a good score but the fact remains that LSG looked set for something over 250 before these last five overs.
