Delhi Capitals ended their group stage campaign in Delhi with a 19-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants, securing their spot in the top four—at least mathematically. With one game remaining against the Mumbai Indians, LSG is also not out yet, but both clubs will need a lot of other results to go their way if they want to finish in the top four.
LSG led the match until the final over after going down 44 for 4 in a chase of 209, courtesy of 61 from Nicholas Pooran and an undefeated 58 from Arshad Khan at No. 8. But Rasikh Salam held off 20 off the last six to give DC its seventh IPL 2024 triumph. In a high-scoring area, DC needed to score 200 or above.in an attempt to score two points. Abishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs shined with fifty-hits each after being invited to bat, lifting DC to 208 for four. Ishant Sharma destroyed LSG with the ball early on, taking three wickets, and despite Pooran and Arshad's best efforts, LSG could not stop losing wickets at the other end and ultimately failed.
