Rasikh Salam will bowl the final over. Arshad has the strike. Rasikh to Arshad, NO RUN! Arshad hits down the ground but the fielder takes care of it to deny any run to Arshad.

Naveen swings and misses the ball twice in the next two balls before Rasikh ends the game with a yorker. DC wins by 19 runs and stays in the qualification race, mathematically.

Mukesh Kumar will bowl the 19th over. RUN OUT! A couple of singles to start the over before a direct hit from Jake Fraser-McGurk removes Ravi Bishnoi from the non-striker’s end.

KL Rahul: We will bowl first. It is because of how our team is placed and what will help our team. We are a young bowling attack and get them into the game early, we have experienced batters and they can take the pressure.

Rishabh Pant: We would have batted first. There are a lot of things going on (regarding qualification) but you can only focus on winning the game.

“It is a small and high-scoring ground. To the one side 60 meters and slightly bigger 66 meters on the other. There is a bit of breeze as well blowing across the ground. This pitch no. 6 and it is a high-scoring pitch. The length ball flies out of the ground. The average score is over 250 runs. But we have to see since it is reused will it be the same.” reckons Graeme Smith to the broadcasters. 

KL Rahul won the toss for Lucknow Super Giants and chose to bowl first. DC will bat!

Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Rishabh Pant returns after a one-match suspension, against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), in a must-win Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match for a playoffs spot here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.

DC’s Net Run Rate (NRR) was hit hard (-0.482) after a 47-run loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

It would thus need a big win (and favourable outcomes in other games) against a side which is also trying to get back on its feet – LSG also has a poor NRR (-0.769) despite having 12 points in six games – following a forgetful outing in Hyderabad last week.
