Rampant Rizvi scores fifty as Capitals dent Punjab's top-2 finish hopes
Gulf Today
|May 25, 2025
Delhi Capitals ended their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign on a high with a six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in Jaipur, chasing down a formidable 207-run target with three balls to spare at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Saturday. The star of the night was 21-year-old Sameer Rizvi, who struck a brilliant unbeaten half-century to steer DC home, finishing the match in style with a maximum over long-on.

Earlier in the day, Punjab Kings opted for an aggressive approach in their must-win clash for a top-two finish.
Put in to bat, Shreyas Iyer’s PBKS lost Priyansh Arya early, but Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis stitched a quick 47-run partnership to set the tone for a challenging total. Inglis smashed 32 off just 12 balls, while Prabhsimran kept the scoreboard ticking with his usual flair.
Captain Shreyas Iyer led the way in the middle overs, anchoring the innings with a composed 53 off 34 balls. Iyer's knock held the innings together as wickets fell around him. But it was Marcus Stoinis who provided the finishing flourish, hammering an unbeaten 44 off just 16 balls.
