In Match 40 of IPL 2025 the Delhi Capitals defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by 8 wickets on Lucknow’s pitch. Lucknow finished with 159/6, as Aiden Markram scored 52 and Mitchell Marsh added 45. Mukesh Kumar got the Man of the Match award with his excellent bowling figures of 4/33. Chasing 160, DC passed LSG’s total in 17.5 overs. The match itself turned in a convincing win with KL Rahul getting an unbeaten 57 off 47, Abishek Porel not needing to bat past LSG’s valid total with 51, and an impactful 34* off 20 from Axar Patel. LSG got off to a good start, but couldn’t continue it as their middle-order began to collapse when Mukesh began his interrogation. The disciplined chase from DC as they comfortably secured victory without losing their rhythm, and finished with 13 balls to spare, highlighted a very convincing all-round dominance of this match.
