IPL 2022 Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals

IPL 2022 LSG vs DC Highlights: Quinton de Kock showed imperious form in his 80 off 52 balls as Lucknow Super Giants outplayed Delhi Capitals by six wickets for their third successive win in their debut IPL season on Thursday.

Delhi Capitals lost their way after a sizzling knock from Prithvi Shaw (61 off 31) to end at 149 for 3 after Lucknow predictably decided to field first. With the resources that Lucknow possess, 150 should have been a comfortable chase and the K L Rahul-led side made sure it was, getting home with two balls to spare on a tricky surface. De Kock was at his destructive best as he shared a 73-run stand with his opening partner Rahul (24 off 25).

IPL 2022 LSG vs DC Highlights: Newcomers Lucknow Super Giants take on Delhi Capitals in Navi Mumbai

23:46 (IST)07 Apr 2022BaDhoni `style, wrapped up with a 6

Five runs off five balls, and in walked Ayush Badoni, wearing a grim face. The first ball he faces: He coolly leaves, as though unfazed by the pressure. The target is quite achievable, but pressure could heat up the coolest of nerves. But not those of Badoni. He creams the next ball, an intended yorker that turned out to be a low full-toss, through cover, past a diving extra-cover and a long-off. And then shrugs his shoulders, as if to suggest that there was no fuss. All they needed was just a single, but nudging a single is not the way golden-armed finishers wrap up their business. So Badoni cuffs the next ball over cover for a six. Cool and simple. Dhoni style, young Badoni. 

23:43 (IST)07 Apr 2022Pant`s prophecy; Kuldeep`s frown upturned

To console a sulking Kuldeep Yadav, just hacked for a brace of boundaries by Quinton de Kock, Rishabh Pant shouted words of encouragement before the last ball of the over: “Koi baat nahi, koi baat nahi Kullu, is ball mein wicket milega.” The words had no effect on Kuldeep’s morale. But Pant’s words turned out to be prophetic. Kuldeep flung the ball a tad wide, making Quinny stretch for the ball. The away-turn made it even wider. De Kock heaved an almighty heave, just backing away a bit, but the ball was so far away from the body that he ended up miscuing the ball to short third man. In the space of a ball, the mood of Yadav, who had taken up the over from Andre Nortje after he was sent off for bowling two beamers, changed from agony to ecstasy. Steadily, Delhi clawed back into the game, though their comeback came too late.

Mustafizur to Krunal Pandya hits a six against Mustafizur. It`s clever batting as he anticipates the slower ball and smashes it over the fence. LSG are 145/3 after 19 overs.

23:09 (IST)07 Apr 2022IPL 2022 Live Score, LSG vs DC: Wicket!

Back-to-back boundaries for de Kock. This is an expensive over but Kuldeep takes his wicket. Quinton departs after playing a brilliant knock of 80 runs. LSG are 122/3 after 16 overs.

22:56 (IST)07 Apr 2022Captain =/ keepers: Venn (diagram) in doubt

From the perspective of reviews, a wicket-keeper who happens to be a captain could at times be counterproductive. Keepers are often impetuous (and instinctive) DRS-seekers, and when they are vested with the sole sovereignty to decide, they tend to go berserk. As Rishabh Pant was, wasting both reviews ludicrously. First was when Quinton de Kock’s intended reverse sweep ballooned off his gloves. Pant hared to pocket the catch, along with David Warner at slips. Even the bowler, Kuldeep Yadav, had not appealed vociferously for the lbw. But after the catch fell short of Warner, Pant, after a fleeting consultation with Kuldeep, reviewed. It took the third umpire just 30 seconds and just one replay to uphold the field umpire’s decision. The second instance was equally bizarre when off-spinner Lalit Yadav made one hold back its line a bit. But the ball was missing the leg-stump by a fair bit, and another review was quickly dispelled. Maybe, it was the desperation for wickets, but both were DRS howlers. 

22:46 (IST)07 Apr 2022IPL 2022 Live Score, LSG vs DC: OUT

Evin Lewis goes for 5 in 13 balls, Lalit Yadav gets the wicket. Lucknow Supergiants 2 down for 86. LSG are 86/2 after 13 overs.

22:41 (IST)07 Apr 2022IPL 2022 Live Score, LSG vs DC: Half century

18th IPL fifty for Quinton de Kock! His half-century keeps LSG on course of the target even though they have lost Rahul. LSG are 86/1 after 12 overs.

— Wisden India (@WisdenIndia) April 7, 202221:37 (IST)07 Apr 2022IPL 2022 Live Score, LSG vs DC: Mustafizur to bowl the first over!

Mustafizur is keeping it tight and not giving any chance to Lucknow batters to score runs. That`s a good first over by Mustafizur.  LSG are 5/0 after 1 over.

21:16 (IST)07 Apr 2022When Pant was kept quiet for one whole over!

What’s the odds of keeping Rishabh Pant quiet for an entire over? Krishnappa Gowtham earned the boasting rights by bowling out a maiden over to Pant. He started with two quick armers from round the stumps and Pant missed the first and barely managed to chop the next one away from stumps. Gowtham slowed the pace on the third and Pant tapped it away. Another slower full delivery followed, and Pant mistimed and edged it away. Gowtham completed the full circle with two quick armers and Pant just about managed to keep the last one from the stumps; in fact he had to knock it away after the edge threatened to take the ball towards the stumps. The slider is always a good ball to bowl to Pant, who for some reason most often than not tries the cut shot despite its length and line, and gets into a tangle many a time.

21:13 (IST)07 Apr 2022LSG vs DC Live: LSG need 150 runs to win

Holder to bowl the last over. What a terrific last over from him. Just 7 runs off the last over. DC are 149/3 after 20 overs.

21:08 (IST)07 Apr 2022LSG vs DC Live: Panttt you beauty!

What a great shot by Pant. He plays a helicopter shot against Avesh Khan and picks a boundary. This is an expensive over by Avesh Khan. DC are 142/3 after 19 overs.
