DC win an IPL classic in Delhi after Super Over drama

Nine runs needed, six wickets in hand -- it should've been a routine finish for Rajasthan Royals (RR) against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025. But Mitchell Starc flipped the script, delivering five pinpoint yorkers in a sensational final over. Dhruv Jurel couldn't find two runs off the last ball, and Starc dragged the game into a dramatic Super Over.

RR imploded in the Super Over, lasting just five balls and losing both Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal to run outs. DC chased down the 12-run target in just four deliveries.

With DC needing 5 off 3, Tristan Stubbs pulled Sandeep Sharma for six to seal DC's fifth win in six games that takes them to the top of the points table. Stubbs had earlier contributed a vital unbeaten 18-ball 34 in regulation time to help DC score 42 off the last three overs.

The 200-run mark had been breached on each of the last eight T20s by the side batting first at Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC didn't look like getting anywhere close, until Stubbs joined hands with Axar Patel, who also injected momentum with his takedown of Wanindu Hasaranga to make 34 off 14.

RR also didn't finish well. Sandeep, who had figures of 3-0-14-0, bowled four wides and a no-ball in what proved to be a 11-ball over that ended with Maheesh Theekshana dropping a sitter off the last ball, the over costing 19.

RR also reprieved Stubbs on 12 when Riyan Parag put down a regulation chance at long-on. And he hurt them with some important runs at the death - all contributing to RR chasing a bigger total than they would have.

While Stubbs' runs were crucial, a gun throw running around from wide long-on to restrict the penultimate delivery to a single in regulation time - with RR needing 3 off 2 - was invaluable.
