Match Overview

Delhi Capitals (DC) – Confidence After a Thrilling Win

DC started their IPL 2025 campaign with a nail-biting one-wicket victory against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Chasing 210, they were in deep trouble at 66/5 before Ashutosh Sharma (66 off 31) and Vipraj Nigam (34 off 22)* staged a remarkable comeback.

Key Strengths:

• Lower-order resilience – Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam proved their finishing ability.
• Strong bowling attack – Mitchell Starc (3/42) and Kuldeep Yadav (2/20) were exceptional in restricting LSG .
• Faf du Plessis’ consistency – Scored 29 off 18 in the opener and has a strong record vs. SRH (235 runs in last 4 matches) .

Weaknesses:

• Top-order collapse – Early wickets remain a concern.
• Over-reliance on spinners – If Kuldeep Yadav has an off day, DC could struggle.

SRH had a mixed start to IPL 2025:

• Big win vs. Rajasthan Royals (286/6) – Travis Head (89) and Abhishek Sharma (67) dominated .
• Loss to LSG (190 all out) – Failed to defend 191 as LSG chased it down in 16.1 overs .

Key Strengths:

• Power-packed top order – Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen can dismantle any attack.
• Strong record vs. DC – SRH have won 12 out of 23 encounters and 5 out of 6 at Delhi’s home ground .

Weaknesses:

• Bowling inconsistencies – SRH’s bowling was expensive against LSG.
• Middle-order fragility – If Head/Sharma fall early, they could collapse.
