New Delhi: There was drama, thrill and suspense as hosts Delhi Capitals (DC) clinched a thrilling Super Over victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a nail-biting clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Wednesday, April 16. Delhi Capitals chased down 12 runs in just 4 balls in the Super Over to bag their fifth win of the season and go on top of the IPL 2025 points table.
The clash between the two sides went into a Super Over after a terrific last over from Mitchell Starc, who gave away only 8 runs off the 20th with RR requiring 9 runs to win in the 189-run chase. Starc initially struggled to nail his yorkers to perfection against Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer, but ended up nailing his last three deliveries to stop RR on 188/4 to tie the game.
With two runs to get off the last ball, Jurel clipped a full delivery from Starc towards mid-wicket, but DC skipper Axar Patel was quick to collect the ball and help KL Rahul affect a comfortable run-out on the striker’s end. Jurel was dismissed on 26 off 17 with RR falling short by a run as the game headed into a decisive Super Over.
