Delhi Capitals chose to field first against Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL 2026 fixture at Ekana Cricket Stadium, holding them to 141. Their response began disastrously: KL Rahul fell first ball to Shami, followed by Pathum Nissanka and Axar Patel against Prince Yadav, slumping to 26/4. Sameer Rizvi, introduced via the Impact Player provision, crafted 70 from 47 deliveries alongside Tristan Stubbs's 39 from 32, clinching the target.
