00:00Markram, Mitch Marsh, powerhouse, Rishabh Pant, who finished with a scintillating hundred.
00:05They are searching for their first title. They've never ever won the IPL.
00:102026.
00:14First ball, Mukesh Kumar, Mitch Marsh.
00:24Back pass the ball, best way to get runs on the board.
00:32Poor first ball, short, wide.
00:37He hit that so hard and I'll tell you, when you see the replay.
00:44Oh, there's got to be a wicket I think at the non-striker's end.
00:47Terrible, terrible, terrible if you are Rishabh Pant.
00:50We have an umpire review for runout at the bowler's end.
00:55Okay, I can see the ball clearly drop after touching the hand.
01:00And the batter is clearly outside the ground when the wickets are broken.
01:05And now he's gone runout for seven. It's 19 for one, LSG.
01:09Horrible way to get out.
01:13Oh, it just beats the fielder. He didn't think for a while it was going to beat him.
01:16This third.
01:18Hasn't been very comfortable against Mukesh.
01:21Appeals for it. It's off the pad.
01:23That swing back.
01:25Oh, what a glorious shot.
01:27That is a superb hit.
01:31Oh, beautifully bowled again.
01:34The first over was very good from him.
01:36Enough.
01:39It's a very good shot again.
01:41Safest part of the ground.
01:44Oh, yes!
01:45Gone!
01:47Aidan Markram, this is a big wicket.
01:49It's Aidan Markram who goes for 11.
01:51It's 48 for two.
01:52Indian batters in that low middle order.
01:54Oh, that's the outside edge.
01:57Doesn't stay there for long.
01:58Ayush Badoni, this hasn't worked for LSG.
02:01Ayush Badoni goes for a knock.
02:0249 for three.
02:06It's a good point, Karthik.
02:08Point that you just made.
02:12Straight up.
02:14Touch and goal for six.
02:18Well, there he goes again.
02:19It's worked.
02:20This is a beauty from Lungesani Angidi.
02:24Pull round goes for eight.
02:29Well, that's one indicator.
02:31I was going to answer the question by saying, what should you do and what does the modern-day player
02:36do?
02:40Right, straight up.
02:41There's a fielder there.
02:43And it's taken and taken easily.
02:4671 for five.
02:51Well, that's the first ball he's facing.
02:54And he's perfectly happy to play the lap for four.
02:57It's a great start for him.
03:01Oh, goes again.
03:03This time, I think everybody's missed it.
03:08No, it's not a great time to be standing behind the wicket.
03:12That's drifted away down the leg side.
03:13Cricketer, he's intelligent.
03:18Will beat the fielder.
03:20Impact sublist.
03:21On that occasion, we saw Sami.
03:24But this is nicely played.
03:28Should be taken.
03:30Comfortably taken.
03:31That's one of the reasons why the captains go back to him.
03:34Promising Mukul Chowdhury goes to 14 from 11.
03:38Because of the situation they are in,
03:40they have brought him in.
03:42He's a batter who will bowl a bit of left arm spin.
03:47Smack.
03:48Shorter side.
03:49But you don't worry when Samad hits it.
03:54Hits it straight.
03:56Over the bowler.
03:57It's a back-to-back boundaries.
04:07Straight to the fielder.
04:08And he'll complete the catch.
04:09It was hit very, very hard.
04:10He's got to go.
04:12138 for seven.
04:14Like this.
04:17One more.
04:18One more.
04:19Dagan.
04:20One more go.
04:21Shami goes.
04:22Now Shami gone for one.
04:23140 for eight.
04:28Straight up.
04:31Tristan Stubbs.
04:33Doesn't drop.
04:38Drop any at all.
04:39There goes another one.
04:41141 for nine.
04:57Instead, he hits the ball straight to shot third.
05:03And that's not much good.
05:05And then Giri finishes three for 127.
05:10And Lucknow Super Giants with eight balls left are out for an underwhelming 141.
05:17The 142 is what the elite capitals need.
05:22But here he is.
05:24For a new side.
05:30Outside half of the pass.
05:32This should be wicked.
05:33And it is.
05:34First ball wicked for LSG.
05:37Players don't run their ball down anymore.
05:39They go like that.
05:40That's how they play.
05:43The bowlers are under pressure here.
05:45That's short.
05:46And it's put away beautifully.
05:47But it is Rana.
05:51That's too fine.
05:52And that's gone all the way.
05:56Gone.
05:58It took a couple of opportunities here.
06:00And this is where panic can set in.
06:05Confirmation there.
06:06Impact sub for Dalekapil.
06:09Steen Nutt Rajan out.
06:12Lee Rizvi takes his place.
06:17Straight off.
06:18He's got a mile in the air.
06:19But there's a keeper underneath.
06:23Richard Pant will complete the catch.
06:25The Sunk has got to depart for one.
06:29One more goes down.
06:31Akshay Patel.
06:32Lovely swing.
06:34From Prince Yadav.
06:36And LSG is in with a chance.
06:38Patel.
06:39Goes without scoring.
06:43Now that is a shot.
06:47And that length.
06:48Perfect for the ramp shot.
06:54Might look for two.
06:56I'll get four.
06:57Superb timing.
07:02Lovely shot.
07:07Even more.
07:08This is a poor over.
07:11Fine for four more.
07:12This is really hurting.
07:17That's a biggie.
07:19It was in the slot.
07:21Over pitch from Markram.
07:23On the line of Legster.
07:27That's in the gap.
07:29And that's 50 for Samir Rizvi.
07:33Back to back 50s.
07:35Last season of the last game.
07:36He scored one.
07:37And first time up now in 2026.
07:43He scored one of the inside edge.
07:44That should be four.
07:48Gone again with the pull shot.
07:50In the gap.
07:51One bounce for four.
07:53And that's what he was after.
07:54He was after the gap.
07:55There he goes into the deep.
07:58There he goes long.
08:01That is a stunning shot.
08:07Four more runs.
08:09Five in fact.
08:11Way too high.
08:13Way too quick for Deshappanth.
08:15Way too distant.
08:17The highest fifth to get partnership for DC.
08:19There it is.
08:21That's the winning shot.
08:22The Delhi Capitals might have stumbled a little bit.
08:26They might have experienced a little fear.
08:29But in the end.
08:30This partnership between Samir Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs.
08:35119 of 81 balls.
08:37Has taken them through.
08:38Not only to two points.
08:39But to a very comfortable win.
08:42And I think you've got to say overall.
08:43In spite of that early stutter.
08:45That the side that played both arms of this game better.
08:48Is the side that's going away with two points.
