LSG vs DC – IPL 2025 40th Match Results

updated：Delhi Capitals beat Lucknow Super Giants by 8 wickets.

Delhi Capitals kept things cool and clinical as they cruised to an eight-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants. Mukesh Kumar brought the heat with a fiery 4-for, wrecking LSG’s momentum just when they looked set for a big one. From 87/0 to 159/6, the slide was real. Markram’s brisk 52 gave LSG hope, but the rest? Not so much. And just when fans expected a Rishabh Pant blitz, he showed up two balls before the innings ended—and got bowled for a duck. Yep, that kind of day.
