IPL 2025: DC vs LSG live score – Starc dismisses Pooran for 75, LSG at 176/4

In an action-packed encounter between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the ACA-VDCA Stadium, Mitchell Starc bowled out Nicholas Pooran for 75, halting his explosive innings. LSG currently stands at 176/4 after 16 overs.

Opting to field first, DC aimed to keep LSG in check, but Mitchell Marsh provided early fireworks with a blistering 21-ball 50 before departing for 72, courtesy of Mukesh Kumar. Pooran then took charge, dismantling Tristan Stubbs for 28 runs in a single over, bringing up his half-century in breathtaking fashion. However, his aggressive approach came to an end when Starc castled him.

LSG captain Rishabh Pant had a debut to forget for his new franchise, failing to get off the mark and falling for a six-ball duck against Kuldeep Yadav. Meanwhile, LSG's injury-plagued squad faced further concerns as Mukesh Kumar appeared to twist his ankle while attempting to stop a boundary.

With key pacers Avesh Khan, Mayank Yadav, and Akash Deep out due to injuries, LSG turned to Shardul Thakur for support in the bowling attack. Delhi, on the other hand, has successfully tightened their grip in the middle overs, with Axar Patel delivering a miserly spell.

As the match progresses, LSG will look to capitalize on the final overs, while DC aims to restrict them and set the stage for their chase.
