IPL 2026: Impact sub Rizvi lifts Capitals to victory over Super Giants

Impact substitute Sameer Rizvi helped Delhi Capitals recover from a precarious position and claim a six-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League.

Chasing 142, Capitals lost KL Rahul first ball and slipped to 26-4 halfway through the fifth over.

Rizvi was brought into the game at the fall of the second wicket and finished unbeaten on 70 off 47 balls as Capitals won with 17 balls to spare.

He put on an unbroken 119 for the fifth wicket with South Africa’s Tristan Stubbs, who made 39 not out.

Earlier, Super Giants were bowled out for 141 with Abdul Samad (36) and Mitch Marsh (35) the only batters to pass 14.

Seamers Thangarasu Natarajan and Lungi Ngidi were the pick of the Capitals bowlers, picking up 3-29 and 3-27 respectively. (BBC)
