IPL 2026: LSG vs DC – The Delhi Capitals (DC) started their IPL 2026 campaign with a dominant performance at the Ekana Stadium, chasing down a target of 142 with 17 balls to spare. Despite an early wobble in the powerplay, a brilliant partnership between Tristan Stubbs and Sameer Rizvi ensured Axar Patel’s side secured a comprehensive 6-wicket victory.
First Innings: LSG Batting Collapse
After winning the toss and electing to field, the Delhi Capitals bowlers justified the decision immediately. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) experimented by opening with skipper Rishabh Pant, but the move backfired as he was run out for just 7.
Regular wickets prevented any momentum for the hosts. Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan were exceptional, utilizing their cutters and yorkers to dismantle the middle order. Abdul Samad provided some late resistance with a gritty 36, but the tail folded quickly as LSG was bundled out for 141 in 18.4 overs.
Top Scorers: Abdul Samad (36), Mitchell Marsh (35)
Key Bowlers: Lungi Ngidi (3/27), T Natarajan (3/29), Kuldeep Yadav (2/31)
Second Innings: The Rizvi-Stubbs Show
The chase began on a shaky note for Delhi as they slumped to 33/4 within the powerplay. Mohammed Shami and Mohsin Khan struck early, removing the top order and giving the Lucknow crowd hope of a miracle defense.
However, Impact Sub Sameer Rizvi turned the game on its head. Playing with immense maturity, he launched a counter-attack that stunned the LSG bowlers. Rizvi brought up a match-winning fifty, finding an able partner in Tristan Stubbs (39*). The duo shared a century stand to guide the Capitals home comfortably in the 18th over.
Top Scorers: Sameer Rizvi (70 off 47), Tristan Stubbs (39* off 32)
Key Bowlers: Prince Yadav (2/20), Mohsin Khan (1/19)
