Stubbs and Hope out in the middle and with less than run-a-ball needed DC are still in the driver's seat.

They fetch 15 runs off the over. A four from Shaw to start the over before a SIX and FOUR from Fraser-McGurk. 15 off the over. DC-45/1 after 5 overs.
It's Jake Fraser-McGurk with a massive six. Got into the position early and muscled over the deep midwicket fence for a maximum.

A boundary down the ground off Shaw. That helps DC get 6 runs off the over. DC- 22/0 after 3 overs.
2 overs done. DC- 16/0. Up and about the required run rate. No wicktets lost. DC won't mind this start.
Flurry of boundaries for DC. It's exactly the kind of start they wanted. First a boundary to end the first over as DC finish the 1st over at 7/0 before back-to-back boundaries from Shaw off Naveen ul Haq who is bowling the second over. DC are up and running.
DC's run chase begins. It's Prithvi Shaw and David Warner who open for Delhi. They need 168 to win. Arshad Khan has the ball in hand for LSG.
And a dot ball to finish. That marks the end of 20 overs. LSG are 167/7 after 20 overs. Ayush Badoni- 55* off 35, Arshad Khan- 20* off 16 and it is their partnership worth 73* off 42 that has allowed Lucknow to reach this stage.
Two boundaries in the over already. First from the bat of Badoni then it's Arshad who joins the party. Past 165 already are LSG. This game is far from over.
Ishant will bowl the final over. LSG should have 170-175 in mind. Strong finish this for LSG as they try to make a game for themselves.

Axar finishes his quota of four overs. LSG- 128/7 after 17 overs. 7 runs off the over.
Kuldeep has bowled out. What a spell this has been for him and DC. He finishes with exceptional figures of 3/20.
It's Ayush Badoni who has managed to break the shackles. After a passage of play dominated by DC, Badoni finally gets something LSG's way. First a top edge over Pant for a boundary before a cut over point to find the second successive boundary.
It's Ayush Badoni and Arshad Khan who are out there for the LSG at this moment.
Wheels coming off this LSG innings very quickly as Krunal Pandya also falls. Mukesh Kumar gets the better of the elder Pandya brother. It's a short-ball on the sixth stump, doesn't get much room and the batter gets a bit of an edge on to that as it is pouched by Pant behind the stumps. LSG- 94/7 after 13 overs.
LSG lose another. Deepak Hooda fails to leave the kind of impact that he would have liked. Ishant Sharma gets his wicket. A top edge off the bat of Hooda who tried to pull that delivery resulting in an easy catch inside the circle on the off side. LSG-89 /6 after 11.5 overs.
WICKET! It's KL Rahul who walks back and it's Kuldeep Yadav again who has scalped a wicket. Rahul while trying to play it late gets a bottom edge. DC review and the umpire is forced to reverse his decision. LSG- 77/5 after 9.3 Overs as Rahul falls for 39 off 22.
Spinners are operating at both ends and have been fairly effective too. KL Rahul holds the key for LSG now. He finds the boundary in the Axar over through point. LSG- 76/4 after 9 overs.
LSG have been forced to bring their Impact sub early. In the first half itself. It's Deepak Hooda who subs De Kock.
Two wickets in two balls for Kuldeep Yadav. He first gets rid of Marcus Stoinis, then castles Nicholas Pooran. Massive moment in the game. LSG suddenly find themselves at 66/4 after 7.4 Overs.
Stoinis finds the boundary in the over. He goes straight down the ground to find the fence. With the help of that boundary, LSG get 7 runs off the 7th over. LSG- 64/2

Marcus Stoinis has joined KL Rahul in the middle.
Khaleel strikes again. The left-arm pacer has got Padikal out LBW this time. The Indian left-hander departs for 3 off 6. LSG- 41/2 after 4.2 Overs.
Sharma continues for DC. It's Devdutt Padikkal who walks in at number 3 for LSG.
11 runs and a wicket coming in that over. LSG- 28/1 after 3 overs. A SIX off the bat of KL Rahul to begin that Khaleel over before a boundary from the bat of De Kock before he got out.
WICKET! There's the breakthrough for DC. It's Khaleel Ahmed who provides it for the Capitals. De Kock went for a big swipe across the line but failed to get the desired connection. It was given out but LSG went for a review. DRS projection showed the ball would have gone on to clip the leg stump so it remains OUT On umpire's call. De Kock out for 19 off 13. LSG- 28/1 after 2.5 Overs.
It's yet another boundary for De Kock. This one has come from the middle of the bat and the southpaw lofted one shot over extra cover to find the fence. It's 7 off the over. LSG- 17/0 after 2 overs.
It's Ishant who has the ball from the other end for DC.
Another lucky boundary for LSG and De Kock. This time it's come off the inside edge. The Protean batter goes for the drive but only manages an inside edge that goes past his leg stump for a boundary. LSG- 10/0 after the 1st over.
It's a lucky boundary for LSG and De Kock. Khaleel pitches this just short of a length and the South African southpaw goes for a cut. A top edge that flies over gully for a boundary.
Out come the LSG openers. Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul. It's Khaleel Ahmed who has the new ball in hand for DC.

BREAKING NEWS: LSG have won the toss and elected to bat first.
Hello and welcome one and all to ABP Live's Live Coverage of the IPL 2024 match being played between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC).
Background
LSG vs DC LIVE SCORE: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the IPL 2024 match number 26. It's the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) up against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in this contest. While DC find themselves languishing at the bottom of the points table with 1 win from 5 matches at a net run rate of -1.370, LSG have only dropped a game from four matches and are in the top half of the table with 6 points from 4 matches.
While LSG's spin department has come to the fore which has resulted in their impressive performances and three wins on the trot, DC's batters have let them down often in the season. Unlike LSG, DC have lost each of their last two matches and have looked far from their best. A struggling batting lineup against a quality spin attack on a wicket that is said to assist spinners' mean not good signs for DC but with their backs against the wall, this is Rishabh Panty & Co.'s chance of giving all in their tank and registering 2 important points.
DC's Mitchell Marsh will remain unavailable for selection for this match and LSG's pacer Mayank Yadav will not be in action too having sustained an injuyr. But that by no means implies any shortage of star power in this fixture. Keep your eyes on Nicholas Pooran who has been in great nick this season. For DC, is is Tristan Stubbs who has done the bulk of the scoring for the team. Will they continue their good form this evening or will it be a different hero who will rise to the occasion? Who will end up on the winning side?
Let's find out together over the course of the next few hours.
