In a thrilling encounter, Mitchell Starc once again confirmed his dominance over Nicholas Pooran in T20 cricket during the IPL 2025 match. Starc delivered a stunning reverse-swing ball, derailing Pooran's fiery innings against the Delhi Capitals.

Prior to his dismissal, Pooran was a scoring machine, smashing Tristan Stubbs for four consecutive sixes and amassing 28 runs in the 13th over. However, Pooran's blitz came to an abrupt stop in the 15th over as Starc shattered his stumps, marking the fourth time he has outwitted the West Indian star in six T20 innings.

The match witnessed explosive performances, particularly from Mitchell Marsh and Pooran, who resurrected LSG's innings after an early dismissal of Aiden Markram. Despite the duo's efforts, Lucknow ended their innings at 209/8, with David Miller adding crucial runs at the end.
