Delhi Capitals registered their seventh win of IPL 2024 earlier tonight (Monday, May 14) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Abishek Porel’s half-century guided DC to a 19-run victory against the Lucknow Super Giants.
It was a do-or-die game for both teams. While DC emerged victorious, the win margin was not colossal, which is why they are unlikely to reach the playoffs. Meanwhile, LSG’s campaign also seems to have ended because of their inferior net run rate of -0.787.
Although neither team benefited much from the result, here’s a look at how the DC vs LSG match panned out.
