In the IPL 2026 match held on April 1, Delhi Capitals (DC) secured a six-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, India. LSG, after losing the toss, batted first but struggled, getting bowled out for 141 runs in 18.4 overs. Key contributions came from Mitchell Marsh and Abdul Samad, who scored 35 and 36 runs, respectively. DC's bowling attack, led by Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan, each taking three wickets, restricted LSG effectively.

In response, DC faced early pressure, slipping to 33/4 after six overs, marking the lowest powerplay score of the season. However, Sameer Rizvi emerged as a standout performer, scoring an unbeaten 70 runs off 47 balls, guiding his team to victory with a total of 144/4. Notably, Rizvi's innovative ramp shot off Anrich Nortje's bowling and a fiery stare-down between Prince Yadav and Tristan Stubbs added excitement to the match. LSG's captain Rishabh Pant had a disappointing outing, getting run out for just seven runs.
