- 23:00 (IST)
- 22:54 (IST)IPL 2025 LIVE: BRUTAL HITTING!Vipraj Nigam, stunning! What an over this is turning out to be.

- 22:38 (IST)DC vs LSG LIVE: New ball does the trick!OUT! LSG take a new ball after the two massive sixes, with the umpires deciding that the old one is wet enough to warrant a change. Next ball, Stubbs misses, Pant stumps, Siddharth celebrates with aplomb! What a twist. DC now 6-down, and it seems very unlikely from here.LSG 113/6 (12.3)
- 22:30 (IST)DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 LIVE: This won't bother LSG!Just 7 runs off M Siddharth's third over. The asking rate is climbing now, and the big shots have tried up a little. Lot of responsibility on Stubbs and Ashutosh to take the game deep, and understandably, they're playing it safe.DC 95/5 (11)
- 22:25 (IST)DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 LIVE: Mix-up!Big confusion between Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma! Ashutosh went for a single when there wasn't one, sent back by Stubbs.

- 22:21 (IST)IPL 2025 LIVE: Prince Yadav comes inTime for another IPL debutant! Pacer Prince Yadav brought into the attack by Rishabh Pant. LSG have had to resort to their reserve pacers following injuries to Mayank, Mohsin, Avesh and Akash Deep. Can Prince take his opportunity?DC 84/5 (9.1)
- 22:19 (IST)DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 LIVE: Stubbs, Ashutosh hit boundariesTristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma at the crease, and they have to take all the pressure now.

- 22:13 (IST)
- 22:08 (IST)IPL 2025 LIVE: FAF GONE! All hope gone?FAF DU PLESSIS IS GONE! Could that be game over? Faf had already hit a six in the over, tried to take Ravi Bishnoi to the cleaners once more, but finds the fielder at long-on. David Miller in the deep, safe hands. DC are 5-down!DC 65/5 (6.4)
- 22:02 (IST)
- 22:00 (IST)IPL 2025 LIVE: DC continue rebuildFaf du Plessis and Axar Patel continue the rebuilding process. A boundary for Axar and a six for Faf in Shardul's second over. 13 off it. They will need to carry on this momentum for a lot of overs to keep the target and the required run-rate in sight.DC 45/3 (5)
- 21:48 (IST)DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 LIVE: Mental scenesUtterly bonkers start by LSG. Never mind the fact that they're missing pacers worth a combined Rs 34.75 crore, Shardul Thakur and M Siddharth have done the magic! Erratic powerplay batting by DC, Faf du Plessis must be watching on in horror from the other end.DC captain Axar Patel is out at No. 5 to try and stabilize things.DC 8/3 (2)
- 21:45 (IST)IPL 2025 LIVE: GONE, DC are 3-down!I don't believe my eyes! DC are 3-down inside the first 10 balls! M Siddharth strikes, the left-arm off-spinner. DC took a gamble, sent Sameer Rizvi up the order at No. 4. That's gone down horribly. Takes a knick, Pant grabs the catch. Insane stuff.DC 7/3 (1.4)
- 21:42 (IST)DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 LIVE: SHARDUL AGAIN!WOW! Shardul Thakur departs! Wicket, dot, wicket. Abhishek Porel goes for a duck. Shardul is breathing fire. Incredible, incredible opening over. Drama. Porel tries to go big too, but perishes. Poor timing, easy catch for Pooran.DC 2/2 (0.5)
- 21:40 (IST)IPL 2025 LIVE: Shardul strikes, JFM gone!What a start for LSG! Shardul Thakur gets Jake Fraser-McGurk on ball 3!

- 21:36 (IST)DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 LIVE: Shardul to open the bowlingWhat a few days for Shardul Thakur. Some days back, he did not have an IPL franchise. Now, he is the lead bowler for LSG, after all four of their frontline Indian pacers - worth a combined Rs 34.75 crore - were unfit to play.
- 21:26 (IST)IPL 2025 LIVE: DC well in the gameDelhi Capitals will take a target of 210, and will enter the dressing room high on confidence after pulling things back late on. LSG were 161 after 13 overs, meaning they managed only 48 runs in the next 42 balls. With the pitch being a belter, DC will fancy their chances at victory.
- 21:21 (IST)DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 LIVE: SIX, SIX to finish!Miller ends with a bang! Mohit Sharma had bowled an excellent final over, but David Miller ends with two huge maximums. LSG finish on 209. Not a bad total, by any means, but they were well on course for 220-230 at one stage.LSG 209/8 (20 overs)DC Target: 210
- 21:08 (IST)DC vs LSG, IPL 2025 LIVE: Worry for LSG!Rishabh Pant's failure and LSG's capitulation will worry them even more when you remember that they are without their four frontline Indian bowlers. Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan and Akash Deep were bought for Rs 34.75 crore combined, but none of them are fit.
