What a dramatic finish!

Rishabh Pant missed a stumping in the first ball. It was tough for him as it clipped the pads of Mohit Sharma. 

Mohit ran hard to take a single in the next ball. 

And, Asutosh Sharma hit Shahbaz Ahmed for a huge six to seal the win for Delhi Capitals. 

Remember the name ASUTOSH SHARMA!

From 65/5, the youngster took the Delhi Capitals home in a nail-biting game.

On the second, Pant tried a reverse scoop but got beaten, and on the third, he paddle-swept a full ball straight to short fine leg for another dot. Kuldeep then struck gold on the fourth—a full ball outside off tempted Pant into a big lofted shot over long-off, but he mistimed it completely, and

Faf du Plessis settled under it for a calm catch. Pant went for a duck, a huge wicket! New man David Miller couldn’t get going either, stuck for a dot on the fifth with a defensive push to cover, but managed a scratchy single on the last despite looking uncomfortable.

Then, Nicholas Pooran took over—Kuldeep went full on the third, and Pooran swept it beautifully for four to deep backward square leg.

Kuldeep tightened up on the last, with Pooran defending a full ball to short midwicket for a dot. Kuldeep kept Marsh in check but couldn’t stop Pooran’s sweeping masterclass! 

9 runs from the over (0, 1, 4, 0, 4, 0). LSG at 98/1 after the 8th.

What? How can you drop that, Rizvi!

After three sixes in the first four balls of the over, Pooran made a mistake and top-edged while playing an aggressive cut shot. Sameer Rizvi dropped him on 17!

This would cost them big!

Pooran then finished the over with a huge six against Nigam.

He wasn’t done; on the fourth, Mukesh went short again, and Marsh rocked back to nail a pull behind square for a boundary—pure power!

14 runs from the over (1 WD, 1, 1, 6, 4, 1, 0). LSG at 64/1 after the 6th.

But Axar tightened up after that; Marsh couldn’t get the next three balls away—first a sweep that led to a loud appeal but no dice, then two aggressive cover drives, both stopped by fielders at short cover and short extra cover for dots.

Marsh finally broke free on the last, driving a good-length ball for two to deep extra cover. Axar kept the batters in check after that early boundary, but they still managed to sneak a few.

7 runs from the over (1, 4, 0, 0, 0, 2). LSG 40/0 after the 4th.

Not sure whose call it was to take the DRS!

It looked like it was going down to the leg side with the angle at which Axar is bowling.

He followed it up with another boundary on the fifth, pulling a short ball to deep backward square leg for four more. Starc tried to finish with a full toss, but Marsh couldn’t capitalize, pushing it to mid-off for a dot. Starc got no respite as those big shots piled on the runs! 

21 runs from the over (6, 1, 4, 6, 4, 0). LSG 33/0 after the 3rd.

A very good start from captain Axar Patel. 

We all know he will look to not give any room. He did that in his first over. 

Only one boundary came in that over and a single. 

12 from 2 without any wicket. 

Mitchell Starc had a great start to the over, with four dot balls and one single. 

But, in the last ball, he tried to swing it into the pads and missed his line a bit. Marsh was quick to latch on to this and flick it over square leg. 

Seven in the first over. 

LSG 7/0.
