In a commanding display of power-hitting and composure, Delhi Capitals cruised to a convincing 8-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants, chasing down 160 with 13 balls to spare. The match, held at a high-stakes venue, saw Delhi chase 160 with ease, reaching 161/2 in just 17.5 overs.

KL Rahul anchored the innings with a classy 57 off 42 balls, smashing 3 fours and 3 sixes. He was well-supported by Axar Patel, who played a fiery cameo, scoring 34* off just 20 deliveries at a strike rate of 170. Earlier, Abishek Porel set the tone with a blistering 51 from 36 balls, including 5 fours and a six.

Lucknow’s bowling attack struggled to contain the flow of runs. Shardul Thakur was the most expensive, conceding 28 in just 2 overs. Aiden Markram managed to pick up two wickets but was costly as well, giving away 30 in his 3 overs.

With this win, Delhi Capitals strengthen their position in the tournament, while Lucknow Super Giants will need to regroup quickly to stay in playoff contention.
