The Lucknow Super Giants: Nicholas Pooran (75) and Mitchell Marsh (72) helped Lucknow Super Giants put up a formidable total of 209/8 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in the fourth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium

The Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) top-order put on an explosive display but a dramatic collapse late in the innings saw them squander a strong position. The power-hitting of Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran gave LSG a flying start, but Delhi’s bowlers fought back hard in the final overs to restrict the damage.

LSG had a new-look opening pair with Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh facing off against Australia’s pace spearhead Mitchell Starc. While Starc started with four tight dot balls, Marsh was in no mood to play it safe. The Aussie all-rounder launched into Starc, smashing a six over deep square leg, before unleashing a barrage of boundaries. Markram too joined in, muscling a straight six, but Marsh dominated the proceedings, dispatching Starc’s deliveries to the fence at will.
