Debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk, who celebrated his 22nd birthday just the day before, showcased his talent by forming a crucial 77-run partnership for the third wicket with captain Rishabh Pant, who contributed with a solid 41 runs. Their partnership played a pivotal role in DC successfully chasing down LSG's total of 167 runs with 11 balls to spare. With this victory, DC climbed to ninth place in the 10-team IPL standings, marking only their second win in six outings and reigniting their hopes in the competitive T20 tourney.
