Delhi Capitals (DC) secured a thrilling super over victory against Rajasthan Royals (RR), moving to the top of the IPL 2025 points table. With 10 points from 6 matches, DC now leads, while RR struggles at the bottom.

Delhi Capitals (DC) have moved to the top of the IPL 2025 points table after securing a thrilling super over victory against Rajasthan Royals (RR). The match, which ended in a tie after both teams scored 188 runs in their respective innings, saw DC edge out RR in the super over. This victory propelled DC to the top with 10 points, surpassing Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who are now in second and third positions with 8 points each.


DC’s Super Over Heroics

In the super over, Delhi Capitals were put in a challenging position, with RR needing 12 runs to win. However, Mitchell Starc’s brilliant super over bowling, which included a perfect run-out by KL Rahul, ensured DC took home the win. RR struggled to get the required boundaries, and DC held their nerve in the final moments to defend the small total.


Delhi Capitals’ Batting Performance

After being asked to bat first, Delhi Capitals posted a total of 188/5. The innings saw an early collapse with the dismissals of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Karun Nair. However, KL Rahul (38) and Abishek Porel (49) formed a crucial partnership, guiding DC to a decent total. Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma played important cameo roles in the final overs, ensuring DC had a competitive total to defend.


Rajasthan Royals’ Response

RR started their chase with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who played a key knock of 51 runs off 37 balls. He looked set to take the game to DC, but after his dismissal, RR struggled with the loss of wickets at regular intervals. Sanju Samson (31) and Nitish Rana (50) fought hard, but RR’s middle-order collapse, combined with crucial wickets from DC’s bowlers, led to their downfall.

Despite a late flurry from Shimron Hetmyer (15*) and Dhruv Jurel (26*), RR could not chase the target and fell short in the super over.
