Lucknow Super Giants are at 159 for 6, with Markram scoring 52 and Marsh adding 45. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, were faced with a challenge against Mukesh who took 4 wickets for 33 runs.
LSG had a strong start at the Ekana Stadium after being put in, but DC’s leader Mukesh Kumar brought about an impressive fightback to limit the hosts to 159 for 6. Although they were at 87 for 0 in the tenth over, LSG could only score 72 runs in the remaining ten overs.
Rishabh Pant, the captain of LSG, only appeared on the field when his team had lost five wickets and had two deliveries left in their innings. Unfortunately, he was unable to make contact with the first ball he faced and also missed his attempt at a reverse-ramp shot on the next one. As a result, the ball hit his pads and ricocheted back onto the stumps, causing him to score zero runs. Mukesh finished with impressive figures of 4-0-33-4.
