Delhi Capitals (<\/span>211\/9 in 19.3 overs<\/b>) pulled off their highest-ever successful run chase, securing a dramatic <\/span>one-wicket<\/b> victory over Lucknow Super Giants (<\/span>209\/8 in 20 overs<\/b>). Despite losing <\/span>four wickets in the powerplay<\/b>, a stunning knock from <\/span>Ashutosh Sharma (66 off 31)<\/span><\/i>* turned the game in Delhi\u2019s favor, sealing the win with a last-over six.<\/span><\/p>\n

LSG set a daunting target<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lucknow Super Giants rode on blistering knocks from <\/span>Mitchell Marsh (72 off 36, 6 fours, 6 sixes)<\/b> and <\/span>Nicholas Pooran (75 off 30, 6 fours, 7 sixes)<\/b> to post a massive <\/span>209\/8<\/b>. While LSG started strong, Delhi\u2019s bowlers, led by <\/span>Mitchell Starc (4-0-42-3)<\/b>, pulled things back towards the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delhi\u2019s disastrous powerplay<\/b><\/h3>\n

Chasing <\/span>210<\/b>, DC were in deep trouble at <\/span>50\/4<\/b> inside the first six overs. The early wickets of <\/span>Jake Fraser-McGurk (1 off 2), Abishek Porel (0 off 2), Sameer Rizvi (4 off 4), and Axar Patel (22 off 11)<\/b> put them on the back foot. <\/span>Just when things looked bleak, <\/span>Tristan Stubbs (34 off 22, 2 fours, 1 six)<\/b> and <\/span>Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15, 5 fours, 2 sixes)<\/b> counterattacked, rebuilding the innings and keeping the chase alive. This was joined by Ashutosh Sharma<\/strong> who came in as an impact substitute and neared Delhi to the winning mark. He hit 5 boundaries and 5 maximums and build an important partnership with Vipraj.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashutosh Sharma\u2019s heroics seal the win<\/b><\/h3>\n

With <\/span>6 needed off the last over<\/b>, <\/span>Ashutosh Sharma<\/b> held his nerve, smashing <\/span>Shahbaz Ahmed<\/b> for a six to finish the game in style. His unbeaten <\/span>66 off 31 balls<\/b> ensured Delhi chased down the mammoth total with <\/span>three balls to spare<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A night to forget for LSG\u2019s bowlers<\/b><\/h3>\n

LSG\u2019s bowlers struggled under pressure, with <\/span>Ravi Bishnoi (4-0-53-2)<\/b> and <\/span>Prince Yadav (4-0-47-0)<\/b> proving expensive. However, with just two overs Shardul Thakur<\/strong> took 2 wickets in his very first over and M Siddharth also took one wicket in the powerplay.<\/span><\/p>\n

This thrilling win marked <\/span>Delhi Capitals\u2019 highest successful chase in IPL history<\/b>, showcasing their batting depth and resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
