LSG vs DC LIVE Score | IPL 2025 LIVE: Rishabh Pant Comes To Bat At No. 7, Falls For Duck; LSG Muster Only 159

LSG vs DC LIVE: OUT!

And Badoni departs! A superb cameo comes to an end, he departs for 36 runs off just 21 balls. Tries to go for the scoop, plays it onto his stumps. Mukesh gets his third wicket. And here comes Rishabh Pant! He’ll get two balls to make an impact.

LSG 159/5 (19.4)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 4, 4, 4 Badoni!

Ayush Badoni is on a roll! Three boundaries in a row for Badoni to start off the final over, picks out the gaps on the off-side. Mukesh going for the wide yorkers, missing his length and Badoni hands out the punishment. The third ball slashed for 4 more through point now!

LSG 159/4 (19.3)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 1 over to go!

LSG manage to get only 9 runs off Starc’s final over. Great spell in the end by the Australian, he ends with figures of 1/25 in four overs. One last over left for LSG to try and score big. 160 should be the minimum target.

LSG 147/4 (19)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Ramp, 4!

Ayush Badoni gets 4 more! Starc misses his yorker and the full toss is whipped away over third man for a boundary. He is giving LSG some crucial runs here at the death, and trying to bolster them towards a 160+ total.

LSG 144/4 (18.2)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Much-needed boundary!

Ayush Badoni gets his second boundary of the innings. Slammed through the off-side, excellent shot by the right-hander. ‘Pocket rocket’ says Graeme Swann in the commentary box. 9 comes off Chameera’s over.

LSG 139/4 (18)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Bad day for Kuldeep

Kuldeep Yadav bowls out. A rare wicketless day in IPL 2025 for the chinaman. A tight final over, concedes only 6 runs, but ends with figures of 0/33 in his four overs today. Three overs to go for LSG, 170 would need a big push.

LSG 130/4 (17)

LSG vs DC LIVE: DROPPED!

Tristan Stubbs has put down a simple catch! Ayush Badoni didn’t really get the timing on it, it was sailing towards Stubbs at deep point but he’s dropped it. Big reprieve for LSG. Mukesh Kumar is bowling a superb middle overs spell. Should’ve had a third wicket.

LSG vs DC LIVE: 5 overs to go

Ayush Badoni has been in decent form off late, and he and David Miller have to take responsibility and rescue the LSG innings. After an opening partnership of 87, LSG’s momentum has completely faded. 

LSG 118/4 (15)

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals LIVE: OUT!

Mitch Marsh is gone! Mukesh Kumar delivers two wickets in one over! Fantastic yorker, dismantles Marsh’s stumps. He goes for 45. And Rishabh Pant is still not out to bat. Ayush Badoni has been sent in. Is it because of Pant’s hand injury?

LSG 110/4 (14)

LSG vs DC LIVE: OUT!

OUT! Abdul Samad is gone! 2 runs off just 8 balls, Mukesh Kumar has delivered a wicket for Delhi Capitals. The call to not send Pant out at No. 4 has not worked! And guess what? He still hasn’t come out. It is David Miller instead.

LSG 107/3 (13.2)

LSG vs DC: “Why is Rishabh Pant not batting?”

That is the question raised by Shane Watson in the commentary box. Pant has struggled for form this season, that is no secret. But with a good platform set, he hasn’t come out to bat. Commentators debate whether it is due to the time he would take to settle in at the crease.

LSG 107/2 (13)

LSG vs DC LIVE: No Rishabh Pant!

Rishabh Pant has surprisingly not come out to bat at No. 4. Instead, Abdul Samad, usually a lower-order pinch-hitter, has come out to bat earlier. Big call taken by LSG, but it begs the question: where will Pant bat?

LSG 99/2 (12)

LSG vs DC LIVE: OUT!

Nicholas Pooran is gone! MITCH STARC HAS DONE IT! Fifth time he has got the dangerous left-hander out. Pooran goes for a wild sweep, but the ball is slightly slower, and Pooran ends up chopping it back onto his stumps. Big wicket.

LSG 99/2 (11.2)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 4, 4 Pooran!

Kuldeep Yadav brought into the attack, and he’s taken to the fence by Nicholas Pooran. The West Indian powerhitter executes two sweeps to perfection, and picks up two boundaries off the chinaman. He will be hoping to play a big knock and reclaim the Orange Cap from Sai Sudharsan.

LSG 98/1 (11)

LSG vs DC LIVE: OUT!

Chameera strikes! Surprise entry into the DC playing XI, and he’s broken the partnership. Aiden Markram departs after a well-made half-century. It was a great over by Chameera, and he caps it off by taking a wicket on the last ball.

LSG 87/1 (10)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 50 for Markram!

Aiden Markram, 50! The South African continues his excellent form with the bat, and LSG are soaring at the moment. He gets there in 30 balls. Delhi Capitals are in dire need of a wicket, but it looks unlikely with the form these two are in.

LSG 82/0 (9)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 75 after 8!

Mitch Marsh hits another boundary! LSG’s opening pair has worked wonders yet again, and Delhi Capitals are on the back foot. They need to break this partnership quickly, because Marsh and Markram look in incredible form.

LSG 75/0 (8)

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals LIVE: Markram dropped!

Oh dear, Aiden Markram has been dropped! Right after a six, Markram goes for another big one but mistimes it terribly. It went high up into the air and Starc arrived from mid-on to try and grab it. Difficult chance, but he has put it down. Markram upto 45.

LSG 68/0 (7.2)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Axar to bowl out!

Axar Patel will bowl his fourth over on the trot and finish his spell! Let’s see if he can deliver a wicket and break this partnership. And Markram gets a boundary! Down the ground. Delhi Capitals’ early strategy really hasn’t paid off.

LSG 56/0 (6.2)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Bizarre strategy by Axar

Axar Patel has bowled three overs himself, but not given any of his pacers a consistent spell through the powerplay. While Axar has been economical, Starc, Mukesh and Chameera have leaked a few runs. More importantly, LSG are yet to lose a wicket.

LSG 51/0 (6)

LSG vs DC LIVE: SIX!

Mitchell Marsh, six more! Dushmantha Chameera is into the attack now, and Marsh whips him over the leg-side for 6 on the very first ball. Both LSG openers look in good touch today, and they’re nearing a 50 partnership.

LSG 46/0 (5.1)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Hammered!

Mitchell Marsh coming to the party! Little bit of width offered by Axar Patel, who’s back for a third over, and Marsh hits it sweetly through the covers. Abishek Porel with a diving effort to try and catch it, but the shot is too strong.

LSG 35/0 (4.2)

LSG vs DC LIVE: FOUR! SIX!

Aiden Markram, glorious! Mukesh into the attack, the first ball is placed through third man for 4. Third ball, timed with precision over long-on for a maximum. The man-in-form displaying his class early on here.

LSG 29/0 (3.3)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Axar keeping things tight

Axar Patel may not have taken a wicket but he hasn’t allowed the LSG openers to break loose in the early stages. Another economical over from him, as he comes back well after conceding the boundary. 7 runs come off it.

LSG 19/0 (3)

LSG vs DC LIVE: 4, Marsh!

First boundary of the innings for Mitchell Marsh! Timed through the covers, as Axar returns for a second over. Diving effort in the deep, but not enough to stop it going for 4. So far, DC’s gamble to put Axar hasn’t delivered a wicket.

LSG 17/0 (2.2)

LSG vs DC LIVE: SIX!

First maximum of the innings, and it comes off Aiden Markram’s bat! Pitched short by Mitch Starc, and Markram swings hard and over fine-leg for 6. Markram has been in great form in the last few games, can he continue that momentum?

LSG 11/0 (1.4)

LSG vs DC LIVE: Axar opening the bowling!

Delhi Capitals are opening the bowling with captain Axar Patel! Up against two in-form openers, Axar has appointed himself with his left-arm off-spin. No wicket, but a solid first over, as he concedes just three runs.

LSG 3/0 (1)

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals LIVE: LSG’s solid openers

LSG openers Mitch Marsh and Aiden Markram have been in good form this season. While Marsh started off the season really well, Markram has picked up form in recent weeks. With Pant out of form, LSG’s top 3 has had to do a lot of heavylifting.

LSG vs DC LIVE: KL Rahul’s revenge?

KL Rahul has been in great form in IPL 2025, and so have Delhi Capitals. They have won five of their seven matches, and sit second in the points table. A big win today could propel them to the first spot, and wouldn’t Rahul love that to be at his old stomping ground?

LSG vs DC LIVE: What happened next?

It was the beginning of the end for KL Rahul’s time at Lucknow Super Giants. Following the animated chat, Rahul did not captain LSG for a couple of games in 2024, and eventually, he wasn’t retained by the franchise. 

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals LIVE: KL Rahul x Sanjiv Goenka

LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka is almost always at his team’s games, and is often involved in talking to his players and staff after the match. In one such incident in IPL 2024, Goenka appeared livid with his team, then led by KL Rahul, after they had been thrashed by Sunrisers Hyderabad in under 10 overs.

LSG vs DC LIVE: A thriller earlier this season!

LSG and DC met each other in their first games of IPL 2025, and it was quite a thriller. LSG seemed to be cruising to victory but a sensational knock of 66 by Ashutosh Sharma took Delhi home chasing 210, in dramatic fashion.
