Chasing 196, DC lose both Warner and Shaw early
IPL 2022, Highlights, LSG vs DC: LSG beat Delhi Capitals by 6 runs
Scratch that, Axar fails to capitalize, and LSG have won the match by 6 runs.
Well, Kuldeep has hit the first ball for a maximum. Pressure on Stoinis.
DC need 21 off the last over. Stoinis to bowl it. Kuldeep on strike. Here we go...
DC 87/4 in 9 overs: Now Lalit Yadav bites the dust. Lovely delivery by Bishnoi. One of the best. Foxed him completely. DC are in trouble. Onto Powell and Pant now.
OUT! Gowtham comes into the attack, and sends Marsh back. Hold on. Ultra-edge shows there was no bat involved. Marsh thought so, and he walked back. The DC dug-out is in shock.
DC 65/2 in 6 overs: Alright. I guess they took that too seriously. Both of them are hitting like there's no tomorrow. 51 runs off the last 16 balls for Delhi Capitals. LSG under the pump now.
DC 13/2 in 3 overs: DC have lost both Warner and Shaw now. Marsh and Pant will have to counterattack. There is no time to get in, and DC doesn't really have power hitters down the order except Powell.
So, it wasn't really an assault from Stoinis. He laboured his way to 17 off 16 balls. But LSG finish with a massive 195 on board. DC have a big task at hand. One of Pant or Powell needs to fire today.
Stoinis is the new batter for LSG. Perfect time for him to launch an all-out assault on DC.
Shardul Thakur is at it again. Now sends Hoods back. Some respite for DC. LSG are 137/2 in 14.3 overs
Another fifty for KL Rahul. Just another day at the office for him. Now Hooda completes his fifty, his third of the season.
LSG 117/1 in 12 overs: As expected, Hooda and Rahul have started to break free. DC need wickets to get back in the game. If not, they will be chasing one big target. Both are on the verge of hitting their respective fifties.
LSG 80/1 in 9 overs: DC may have got QDK early, but Rahul and Hooda haven't let go of control. LSG are still in the driver's seat. They are scoring at more than 9 runs per over, and the Capitals need wickets to take charge. Once Rahul gets going, he can take the game away in an instant.
LSG have won the toss and have elected to bat
