Commentary
A nervy edge-of-the-seat T20 game unfolded at the DY Patil Stadium on Thursday as Lucknow Super Giants held onto their nerves to eke out a six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals on Thursday.
A solid knock by Quinton de Kock saw Super Giants notch up their third win of the ongoing IPL season. Delh meanwhile fell to their second consecutive loss.
After winning the toss, LSG skipper KL Rahul opted to bowl first against Rishabh Pant-led Capitals. Having restricted the Capitals to 149/3, Lucknow chased it down in the final over with the young Badoni (10 off 3) delivering once again to finish it off with a maximum.
Opener de Kock led the chase with a 37-ball half-century. Skipper Rahul and de Kock stitched together an opening stand of 73 off 58 to stay on course. Rahul played second fiddle with De Kock scoring bulk of the runs. Kuldeep Yadav finally handed DC the breakthrough, as he broke the opening stand, as Shaw took a stunner, running in from long on to keep DC in the game.
But a patient knock from de Kock (80 off 52) saw the side notch up their third win on the trot. Needing five of the final over LSG held onto to their nerves to deny Delhi.
Earlier, after being invited to bat, David Warner, making his debut for the Capitals failed with the bat as he fell for just 4 off 12. Despite the Capitals putting up a strong opening stand of 67 off 45, Warner took the backseat as it was Prithvi Shaw who impressed with a smashing 61 off 34, which went in vain.
