No ball Brijesh Sharma to Ashutosh Sharma. Off cutter beamer, middle stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to square leg and it was a no ball, fielded by Deshpande. Delhi Capitals hunt down 226 with remarkable composure. Pathum Nissanka set the tone with a fluent 62 off 33 balls. His aggressive strokeplay ensured Delhi kept ahead of the asking rate right from the powerplay. Lokesh Rahul was the anchor and aggressor rolled into one. He built partnerships with Nissanka and later Nitish Rana, ensuring the Capitals never lost momentum. Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma calmly guided the chase home. Rajasthan's bowlers struggled to contain the flow, with Ravi Bishnoi and Nandre Burger particularly expensive. Even though Jadeja and Deshpande picked up wickets, Delhi's batting depth meant there was no collapse. With this win, Delhi Capitals break their jinx after the hat-trick of losses. Lokesh Rahul retained the orange cap and was rightfully adjudged as the Player of the Match.
