Match Recap: Delhi Capitals Win a Super Over Thriller Against Rajasthan Royals
Delhi Capitals jumped back to the top of the IPL 2025 table after a nail-biting Super Over victory against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday. This was DC’s fifth win in six games, giving them 10 points two more than second-placed Gujarat Titans.
Things aren’t looking good for Rajasthan Royals though. After this loss, they’re now stuck at eighth place with just two wins from seven matches.
The game itself was a rollercoaster. Rajasthan were chasing a target of 189 and started off strong. Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Sanju Samson smashed 61 runs in just over five overs. But then disaster struck Samson had to leave the field due to a rib injury right after hitting a four and a six.
Even without their captain, Jaiswal and Nitish Rana kept Rajasthan in the game. But Delhi’s spinners slowed things down, and the Royals needed 73 runs from the last 6 overs.
Mitchell Starc came back to bowl a brilliant yorker and got Rana out. Rajasthan still needed 9 runs from the last over, and Starc held his nerve to tie the match and send it into a Super Over.
In the Super Over, Rajasthan managed just 11 runs and lost two wickets both to run-outs. Delhi sent out KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs, and the pair calmly chased down the target with two balls to spare.
With that win, Delhi now lead the IPL 2025 standings and fans are loving it!
See you soon in the next match!
