LSG vs DC IPL 2025 MATCH HIGHLIGHTS & KEY POINTS
The IPL 2025 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was an absolute thriller, with DC clinching a last-over victory by one wicket. The game saw some explosive batting performances, early wickets, and a dramatic finish.
LSG’s Explosive Start
Openers: Aiden Markram & Mitchell Marsh
LSG started aggressively with Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh opening the innings. Marsh opened his account with a six off Mitchell Starc’s over, setting the tone for a high-scoring game. Markram followed up with a blistering attack on Starc, smashing two sixes and two fours in a single over.
DC’s bowlers struggled in the powerplay, with Starc and Axar Patel taking the brunt of the assault. Marsh was in devastating form, punishing every loose delivery. LSG reached 50 runs in just five overs, with DC’s bowlers failing to gain control.
Markram was dismissed in the 4th over for 15 runs, giving DC their first breakthrough. However, his wicket didn’t slow down LSG, as Nicholas Pooran joined Marsh to continue the onslaught.
By the end of the powerplay, LSG had scored 70 runs, putting immense pressure on DC’s bowlers.
LSG’s Middle-Order Fireworks
Marsh continued his aggressive batting, scoring a half-century in just 23 balls. His partnership with Pooran flourished, with the duo adding 52 runs in just 20 balls. By the 10th over, LSG had raced to 117/1.
DC’s bowlers had no answer to the onslaught, and the fielders were reduced to mere spectators. Fans were on their feet as Pooran and Marsh played fearless cricket.
DC finally got a breakthrough in the 12th over, when Mukesh Kumar dismissed Marsh for a spectacular 72 off 36 balls. Pooran, however, kept the momentum going, smashing four sixes and four fours in just six balls against Tristan Stubbs.
Unfortunately for LSG, Starc returned in his third over to dismiss Pooran for 70 off 30 balls, bringing DC back into the contest. LSG’s score stood at 170/4 in 15 overs.
LSG’s Late Collapse
After Marsh and Pooran’s departure, LSG struggled to maintain momentum. Ayush Badoni failed to contribute, and Shardul Thakur was run out for a duck. The last six overs saw LSG lose wickets at regular intervals.
Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav bowled brilliantly at the death, restricting LSG to 209/8 in 20 overs.
Starc was the standout bowler for DC, finishing with 3/40 in 4 overs.

DC had a disastrous start, losing three wickets in the first 10 balls. Shardul Thakur dismantled DC’s top order, taking three wickets in his first over.

With five wickets down in 10 overs and just 88 runs on the board, DC was in deep trouble.
DC’s Lower-Order Comeback
Just when it seemed like LSG had the match in their hands, Tristan Stubbs and Vipraj Nigam led a counterattack.
Vipraj Nigam smashed 39 off 15 balls, breathing life into DC’s chase. His partnership with Ashutosh Sharma gave DC a fighting chance. After Nigam’s dismissal, Ashutosh took control of the game.
