LSG vs DC, IPL 2023 Highlights: LSG thump DC by 50 runs

Amazing!! He deserved it! Mark Wood finishes with figures of 5/14 in his 4 overs. LSG has given a proper hiding to DC with a 50-run win.

Axar Patel is fighting a lost battle...Might help in Net run-rate. That's It!!

Aman Khan's short stay comes to an end. Target looking too far for DC now

It is getting impossible for DC now against. David Warner has to get going.

Bishnoi has struck!! Dangerous Rilee Rossouw is gone!

Bishnoi goes for 17 runs in 10th over with Rossouw taking him on!!!

136 runs needed off 66 balls. Mark Wood's spell has turned the game on its head. Warner and Rossouw will have to take the attack to the bowlers now to have any chance of chasing this total down!

Wow!!! Mark Wood is literally breathing fire with his pace. Excellent bowling this and Sarfaraz Khan is dismissed. DC are 48/3 and they are struggling big time now

Warner is key for DC here and with Rossouw to come, they should make sure that they don't give up so early in the game!!

Prithvi Shaw is castled!!  Mitchell Marsh is castled! Mark Wood's pace has done it for LSG with twin strikes!!! He in on fire

Luck seems to be with DC. Warner survives a close shave! DC are 40/0 after 4 overs

Dew is playing a decsive role in Lucknow! Will it become a trend for the rest of the season?

This is some start from DC openers - David Warner and Prithvi Shaw!!

A huge 23-run over in the 20th over as LSG end on 193 runs. Can DC chase down 194? We will find out soon...

Nicholas Pooran is gone!! Prithvi Shaw has taken a good catch. Pooran played his part scoring 36 off 21 balls. This will certainly hurt LSG now.

A quite 18th over. Mukesh Kumar kept his nerves to keep Pooran and Krunal quiet. Will LSG be able to cross 180-run mark?

Nicholas Pooran has been handed a kind of finisher's role by LSG it seems. He has already hit 2 fours and 2 sixes. How many more can he hit in the last three overs?

LSG are 131/4. How many more will they add in the last four overs? Nicholas Pooran is looking good in the middle while Krunal Pandya needs to up the ante now.

Khaleel has got his first wicket as Stoinis is caught behind. This is a big wicket as we all know what Stoinis can do. Khaleel would be happy to contribute with the ball as he was sloppy on an occasion in the field.

Axar Patel has redeemed himself. He has castled the dangerous Kyle Mayers and DC make a comeback in this game. They have dismissed two set batters now. 

A much-needed wicket for DC. Kuldeep Yadav has broken a dangerous partnership dismissing Deepak Hooda for 17 runs. Can he get more wickets?

Mayers is making DC pay for that drop. The guy has become unstoppable now!! He is running away with the game. DC bowlers do not have any answers at the moment.

Kyle Mayers was on 14 when he was dropped by Khaleel Ahmed. Since then, the left-hander is smashing it nicely and is currently on 42 off 26 balls. LSG will be hoping for him to continue in the same vein.

Delhi Capitals have stuck to their plans well and conceded only 30 runs in the powerplay. Kyle Mayers is well set but has eaten up a lot of deliveries and even the pitch seems to be a bit slow with the ball holding on after pitching. What will be the good score on this pitch?

The pressure of playing a lot of dot balls early in the innings has got to KL Rahul. After smashing a six off Chetan Sakariya earlier in the over, KL Rahul is holed out in the deep. He scored only 8 runs off 12 balls. LSG 19/1 after 4 overs.

Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar have shared the new ball for DC and both have made the new ball talk. Pressure is on LSG openers now to make a move.

Lucknow Super Giants (Playing XI): KL Rahul(c), Kyle Mayers, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran(w), Ayush Badoni, Mark Wood, Jaydev Unadkat, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, Sarfaraz Khan(w), Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Chetan Sakariya, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar

Delhi Capitals have won the toss and opted to bowl first.

65 meters to my left, 62 to my right. And it will need a good thump down the ground at 77 meters. Importantly, the 22-yards is interesting because there's very little grass at this end. It's very bare and the ball may grip on this half. As I walk down, you can see the disparity. You get to the middle, you start seeing more grass, and it's patchy as well. So it's a pitch with contrasting halves. There's so much more grass on one side, but it's patchy grass. So when it hits the bald areas, it could hold. Hoping that the red soil makes the bounce and carry, says Ian Bishop
