What is a Super Over?
A Super Over is a tie-breaker used in T20 matches when both teams score an equal number of runs at the end of their 20 overs. In the Super Over, both teams take turns to bat for one over each. The team that bats second chases the target set by the first team. Each team is allowed just two wickets in the Super Over, and if both are lost, the team is considered 'all out.
How did the DC vs RR IPL 2025 match end in a super over
Delhi Capitals set the stage with a strong start, thanks to Abhishek Porel’s aggressive batting. However, their momentum was briefly interrupted when they lost Jake Fraser-McGurk in the third over. Karun Nair’s unfortunate run-out for a duck added to the tension. Nonetheless, the Capitals recovered, with KL Rahul contributing 34 runs and Porel missing his half-century by just one run. Axar Patel’s explosive 34 from 14 balls and Tristan Stubbs’ quick-fire 34 from 18 balls pushed the Capitals to 188/5 after 20 overs.
Rajasthan Royals, in response, began confidently with Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who forged a solid partnership for the first wicket. Unfortunately, Samson had to retire hurt after injuring his ribs, leaving the field early. Jaiswal’s third half-century in four games gave RR hope, but he too was dismissed shortly after. Nitish Rana’s rapid half-century kept RR in contention, but they also ended up with 188/9, leading to the Super Over.
