There we go! Delhi Capitals lose an early wicket as Jofra Archer strikes. Jake Fraser-McGurk gets caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal for 9 off 6 balls. However, Abishek Porel is looking in destructive form, smashing 24 off 7 balls, keeping DC on track.

DC: 34/1 (2.4)

What a rollercoaster start for Delhi! Jake Fraser-McGurk came out all guns blazing, and Abishek Porel joined the party with a flurry of boundaries. But just when things looked like they were heating up, DC lost two in quick succession -- JFM got out trying to hit a big shot, and Karun Nair was run out for zero. Porel라이브 바카라 still out there, batting fluently on 31 off 18, with KL Rahul giving him company now.

DC: 48/2 (6.2)

They’ve added 51 runs for the third wicket, helping DC reach 85/2 in 10.4 overs.

DC: 85/2 (10.4)

KL Rahul Falls to Jofra Archer's short ball!

A massive breakthrough for Rajasthan Royals as KL Rahul departs for 38! Jofra Archer, back into the attack, got it just right with a short delivery onto Rahul's middle stump who pulls it towards the mid-wicket. There, Shimron Hetmyer made a stunning running catch inches off the ground.

Now Rajasthan Royals take control!

Abishek Porel is caught by Riyan Parag off Wanindu Hasaranga for 49. He was looking solid at the crease, tried to go aerial but the shot lacked power, and the ball was safely taken at long-off caught by Riyan Parag.

DC: 105/4 (13.5)

Delhi Capitals are currently 126/4 in 15.4 overs, with Axar Patel (4) and Tristan Stubbs (10) at the crease.

After a strong 49-run knock from Porel, which included five fours and a six, DC lost their fourth wicket. The hosts are now looking to accelerate in the final few overs.

DC: 126/4 (15.4)

After a shaky start for DC, the skipper Axar Patel ignited hope for a short time with a rapid 34 off 14 balls. However, he fell to Theekshana, who took an easy catch at long-on. Delhi's hopes now rest on the shoulders of Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma.

DC: 149/5 (17.3)

Tristan Stubbs is putting on a clinic at the death! He's found the boundary twice and launched a massive six off Sandeep Sharma in the final over to take Delhi Capitals to 187/5 in 19.5 overs.

Review Drama:

Things got a little wild earlier in the over. Sandeep Sharma bowled a short one that zipped past Ashutosh Sharma, and it wasn’t initially given a wide. But DC reviewed it straight away -- and rightly so! The ball had clearly sailed over Ashutosh's head. The umpire had a look, and yep, it was called wide in the end. Bonus run for DC and a free hit followed soon after!

RR라이브 바카라 bowlers are losing their grip a bit here -- especially Sandeep, who looked tired and wayward in this final over.

DC: 187/5 (19.5)

Tristan Stubbs is finishing games like a pro! He made out a solid 34 off 18 balls, finding support from Ashutosh Sharma (15 off 11) as Delhi Capitals smashed 77 runs in the last five overs to post a competitive total for the Rajasthan Royals.

Sandeep Sharma, despite bowling brilliantly in his first three overs, had a horror final over, conceding 19 runs that included four wides, a no-ball, and a dropped catch by Theekshana.

DC: 188/5 (20)

Rajasthan Royals have started their chase of 188 with Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease.

Samson took a couple of singles and then blasted a six over square leg off a short delivery by Mukesh Kumar. Jaiswal followed it up with a stunning six over long-off.

RR: 16/0 (1.5)

The Royals are off to a solid start, thanks to an explosive partnership between Sanju Samson (31 off 18) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (26 off 15). They only need 128 runs from 88 balls now. DC are committing some field mistakes like Ashutosh Sharma misjudging the catch of Sanju Samson at mid-off. The ball drops safely, giving Rajasthan Royals' skipper a lucky reprieve.

RR: 61/0 (5.2)

Already a big blow to RR, skipper Sanju Samson walks off in the sixth over after appearing to suffer a side strain while attempting a cut shot. He was visibly uncomfortable and didn’t take long to head back to the dressing room. Riyan Parag joined Jaiswal at the crease.

However, Axar Patel gives Delhi Capitals the much-needed breakthrough by castling Parag for 8.

RR: 81/1 (8.4)

Delhi Capitals have clawed their way back into the game with a wicket of Jaiswal. Kuldeep Yadav dismisses the well-set Yashasvi Jaiswal for 51 off 37 balls, caught by Mitchell Starc at long-on after a mistimed lofted shot. That wicket has halted RR's momentum just when they needed to up the ante in this tall chase of 189.

Nitish Rana is turning the heat up in Delhi! After a sedate phase, the southpaw has exploded with a flurry of boundaries -- a pulled six over, a reverse-swept four, and a straight drive off Kuldeep Yadav to bring Rajasthan Royals back in the chase.

Rana is now batting on 45 off 24 balls, while Dhruv Jurel is supporting him steadily on 4*. The partnership has raced to 32 off just 14 balls, and with RR now needing 45 runs off 26 deliveries.

RR: 144/2 (15.4)

Nitish Rana played a big hand under pressure, bringing up his half-century in style with a scoop off Mohit Sharma in the 17th over. His 51 off 28 balls (6 fours, 2 sixes) gave Rajasthan Royals the push they needed during the death overs. But just as things were tilting in RR라이브 바카라 favour, Mitchell Starc produced a trademark inswinging yorker to trap Rana lbw in the 18th -- a game-turning moment that handed Delhi Capitals a lifeline.

It라이브 바카라 getting seriously tight in Delhi! With 5 needed off 3 balls, Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel have kept their nerve, turning this into a last-breath thriller. Starc has been firing in yorkers like a machine, but this duo isn’t backing down. Are we heading for a Super Over? Don’t blink!

Time for super over?

On the penultimate ball, Shimron Hetmyer runs back for two, but there was a tight run-out chance at the bowler라이브 바카라 end! A better throw or quicker take could've ended it right there. Rajasthan Royals now need 2 runs off the final ball.

What a thriller at the Arun Jaitley Stadium! Rajasthan Royals needed just 2 runs off the final ball -- but a sharp piece of fielding from Axar Patel and a calm flick to Rahul behind the stumps sees Dhruv Jurel run out going for the winning run!

Scores are tied at 188 and we’re heading into the first Super Over of IPL 2025!

The tension. The drama. The chaos. And now... the madness continues.

Mitchell Starc delivered a masterclass under pressure, nailing yorkers and conceding just 6 runs in the final over to force a thrilling Super Over. And you know that thatVintage Starc at his absolute best!

What is a Super Over and BCCI's New Rule?

In a Super Over, the two teams play a single over of cricket, and the one who scores more runs wins the match. In the 17 seasons from 2008 to 2024, IPL has witnessed 14 Super Overs, the last one coming in the game between SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in 2021. Read More HERE.

Ball 3: Just one – drilled to long-off.

RR: 5/0 (0.3)

Ball 4: Chaos! Starc bowls a low full-toss, Parag edges it for a four. But Hetmyer calls him for a risky single, and Parag gets run out by Starc after the throw from Rahul.

Ball 4 (No-ball): Starc delivers a low full-toss outside off. However, it's a no-ball for overstepping, meaning Parag gets a free-hit on the next delivery.

Ball 5 - Starc dleivers to Hetmyer and there comes the Run-out again! Hetmyer smashes a low full-toss to deep mid-wicket, but Jaiswal is too slow for the second run. JFM라이브 바카라 throw to Starc gets Jaiswal out. Two run-outs in a row for RR marking the end of their innings in this super over.

RR: 12/2 (0.5)

However, for Rajasthan, it their fifth loss of the season having played seven matches placing them 8th on the table.

Mitchell Starc earns the Player of the Match.

In the post match interview, he reflected on the final over and said, "Just backed my execution, running in with a clear plan. Sometimes it comes off, a bit of luck goes a long way. It was a fantastic game, happy to get on the right side. I’ve played long enough for everyone to know what I’d do, but if I execute then I know I’ll get by. A bit of luck goes a long way. (On RR라이브 바카라 choice of batters for the Super Over) Was a bit of a surprise to see left-handers come in with my angle as the ball was tailing back in. Got one wrong there with the side line no-ball, but we had the batting depth then to chase that down. (On team atmosphere) Good mix of youth and experience here. Axar is leading us well. Kuldeep has been fantastic. Stubbs and KL are very experienced as well. We are having a lot of fun, success helps that as well."

Up next, DC will take on Gujarat Titans on April 19 while RR will face Lucknow Super Giants on the same day in the IPL doubleheader.
