LSG vs DC IPL 2023: Lucknow Super Giants' Indian Premier League season 16's journey was off to a winning start as they defeated Delhi Capitals by 50 runs at their home groud Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Saturday. Mark Wood was the star for the side as the English bowler took a five-wicket haul.

Wood's 5/14 spell limited Delhi to 143/9 while chasing a 194-run target. Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi took two wickets each as well. Among batters, Kyle Mayers scored 38-ball 73 on a difficult surface while Nicholas Pooran contributed 21-ball 26 down the order to help LSG go past 190.

For DC, captain David Warner scored 56 runs off 48 balls and Rilee Rossouw showed some form with an innings of 30 (20). Among their bowlers, Chetan Sakariya and Khaleel Ahmed took two wickets apiece.

The side also looked unconvincing with their plan to use Sarfaraz Khan as a makeshift wicket-keeper in absence of Rishabh Pant. Sarfaraz dropped a catch and missed a stumping while contributing just four runs with the bat before Mark Wood dismissed him with a well-directed bouncer.

LSG vs DC IPL 2023 Match 1: Who Said What

Mark Wood, PoTM Last time I played for CSK, but it didn't go quite well. But I wanted to make an impact in his game. I am pleased with my rhythm as I managed to take wickets. We have trained here, so we knew dew was going to be a factor. Tried to keep things simple, the planning, Morne helped me. I was trying to keep my strides short.

KL Rahul, LSG captain I was a great start. We were clueless of the pitch, nice way to start. We'll take confidence from this win. Toss is not in our hands, with the new rules you get to play with the team you want. Gives great depth in bowling and batting. I though we were 30 runs above par.

The way Kyle (Mayers) batted. We took an aggressive approach against the spinners and put them under pressure. I thought they started well, but we came back well. It was Wood's day today, it's a dream for a fast bowler and a team.

He made it count. Overall, the bowling group did well and put pressure on the batters. We are not going to make too much of it, we'll take confidence it. It's T20 cricket, you need to turn up everyday and be ready for the fight. We don't want to think too much about this win.

David Warner, DC captain It was a bit of a challenge. We had some early momentum with the fast bowlers, they bowled very well in the powerplay. A few dropped catches and the momentum shifted there but you can't take anything away from Lucknow. They batted very very well. I thought 170 was par but they did an exceptional job.

Momentum is a big thing in this game. Don't take it away from Wood, he's an exceptional bowler and he showed his true talent tonight. I feel on this wicket you're playing on two different surfaces from either end. We started very well. Our bowlers bowled exceptionally well.

(On the knock of Mayers) When one guy goes big, he is a big strong boy. He was hard to stop. We go back to Delhi in front of our home crowd. We have to assess the wicket there. Last time I was in Delhi back in 2010-11 it was low and slow.

It looks like there's a bit of green grass there now with some dew coming in late in the night. (On being asked about the pitch in the Delhi Test last month) That was a bit of a different wicket with the red ball and we will forget about that (chuckles while saying that).

Marcus Stoinis What a brilliant start for us. Got the big boys firing. Woody bowling 160kph, Mayers hitting 160 meters (not literally). That's what the coaches say - nice problems to have (with QDK coming in).

Don't know if you guys can tell, but it was absolutely soaking (dew). We do practice under lights. There's not much you can do. It's quite a sandy surface. Just have to take your time to dry the ball for the bowlers.

Pitch looked different on each end. One end spun a little more. And Mayers gave himself a bit of time before exploding. I thought I would've been handy on that wicket (with the ball). Just wasn't needed.
