IPL 2024 Points Table: Lucknow Super Giants' Loss Is Chennai Super Kings' Gain

Australia's Jake Fraser-McGurk scored a belligerent half-century on his IPL debut after spinner Kuldeep Yadav dazzled with the ball as Delhi Capitals thrashed Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday. It was Ayush Badoni's 55 not out off 35 balls that steered a sruggling LSG to a respectable 167 for 7 after Kuldeep (3 for 20) sizzled with a three-wicket haul. Fraser-McGurk (55 off 35 balls) and skipper Rishabh Pant (41) struck a 77-run partnership to take the match away from the hosts and secure DC's second win of the season.

The win helped DC gain a spot and rise to the ninth position in the points table. Royal Challengers Bengaluru thus slipped to the bottom spot.

Meanwhile, loss to LSG meant that they slipped to the fourth spot with Chennai Super Kings rising to the third position.
