DC vs LSG, IPL 2024. (Source -IPL/BCCI)
The high-octane IPL 2024 game saw Delhi Capitals (DC) edge out Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) comprehensively to register a sensational win in Match 64 of the mega cricket extravaganza. In what was a fiercely battled encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, the hosts have just kept their playoffs qualification chances alive by securing a 19-run victory.
As a result, this has boosted their overall Net Run Rate (NRR) while significantly derailing the already bleak chances of LSG making it to the next round of the IPL 2024. After being invited to bat first, DC posted a monumental 208 runs on the board. Young rising star Abishek Porel gave an explosive start to the hosts while middle-order batter Tristan Stubbs continued his mojo and gave a thundering finish to Delhi’s innings.
During the run chase, the veteran pacer Ishant Sharma gave early jolts to LSG with his three-wicket haul spell. This meant that the visiting had already lost their four key top-order batters within the powerplay phase itself. However, explosive batter Nicholas Pooran displayed some much-needed fireworks (61 off 27) for his side to keep them in the hunt. But this did not prove enough as the talented southpaw ran out of partners.

The only batter who mustered some courage to lead Lucknow closer to the target was Arshad Khan who provided a late flourish with his fiery fifty (58 off 33) before suffering a heartbreaking defeat. With this LSG are already almost out of the IPL 2024 tournament while DC’s win not only have kept them alive in the mega event but have also boosted the chances of another team in the form of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Meanwhile, here’s how fans triggered memes galore after the intense DC vs LSG IPL 2024 battle:
