LSG vs DC Live Score

5:59 PM IST Over and out - We wrap things up after a nail-biting low-scoring thriller, where Delhi Capitals got the better of Lucknow Super Giants to close out the opening round of IPL 2026. The tournament rolls on with a high-octane clash next, as Sunrisers Hyderabad face Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, April 2. The first ball will be bowled at 2 pm GMT (7.30 pm IST), with build-up coverage coming your way well in advance. Until next time, goodbye!

5:59 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Sameer Rizvi wins the award for his match-winning 70* off 47. Rizvi says the management has backed him to bat at number 4 and express himself, and he looked to do exactly that tonight.

5:56 PM IST The victorious skipper of Delhi Capitals - Axar Patel jokingly says that the match got finished early. He admits that it got a bit close in the middle, but they knew they just needed one partnership to seal the game.

5:55 PM IST Let's hear from Tristan Stubbs - Stubbs says he wasn’t even fully padded up when he had to walk in, but it was pretty clear what the job was, which was to spend time at the crease and bat sensibly. He praises Sameer Rizvi’s innings, calling it magnificent, and notes that the wicket had a bit in it early on with some swing and nip. Tristan highlights that Rizvi takes on spin naturally, which made things easier for him, and all he had to do was just rotate the strike. Mentions that they knew one good over could change the equation, and once that came, it became a run-a-ball chase. Stubbs tells that there wasn’t a specific plan to take on Shahbaz Ahamad, but the talk between him and Rizvi was about assessing whether the ball was spinning. Adds that the first 3 balls went for 12, and it all worked out for them. On his role, Tristan says he enjoys batting at number 6, adding that the situation usually dictates what needs to be done, and he can take the team over the line.

5:50 PM IST The captain of the Lucknow Super Giants - When asked about his run out, Rishabh Pant replies that the best way to deal with it is to forget about it, adding that it’s something you can’t control and dwelling on it only puts you on the back foot. Pant explains that given the way they batted, they need a player who can contribute with both bat and ball, which is why Shahbaz Ahmed came in as the impact sub. He adds that the role for Ayush Badoni is clearly defined, especially when they lose early wickets, with Badoni expected to step in and stabilise. Rishabh shares that the way the team fought with the ball was one of the positives of the game. Admits that extras hurt, especially when defending a low total, as there is a tendency to try a bit too much. When asked why they moved away from the Marsh-Markram opening pair, he shares that they wanted to explore the left-right combination up top. He further says it is a 50-50 call whether he continues to open, but indicates that he will remain in the top order.

5:47 PM IST Presentation time ...
