Delhi Capitals bounce back to continue dominant run in IPL 2025

Delhi Capitals had lost their previous game against Gujarat Titans by seven wickets. However, they bounced back with a thumping win over Lucknow Super Giants.

With this win, they hold on to their second position on the table. DC currently have six wins and 12 points from eight games. They had won all of their first four matches before facing their first defeat in the fifth game against the Mumbai Indians.

Although they have two wins and as many defeats from their last four games, they have maintained their position on the table. They are now a step closer to sealing their qualification for the playoffs.

Considering 16 points for qualification, they need just two more wins from their remaining six matches to ensure their spot in the top four. However, Delhi Capitals will be aiming to finish in the top two.

They will be up against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their next match on Sunday, April 27, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
