Delhi Capitals with an authentic win once morest Lucknow Supergiants in IPL. Delhi overcame Lucknow’s target of 168 runs by six wickets with 11 balls to spare. Jake Fraser (55) and Rishabh Pant (41) shone for Delhi. This is Delhi’s second win of the season. Lucknow’s second defeat.
Delhi’s performance was completely wrong with the assessment that it is difficult to bat second on a slow wicket in Ekana. Despite the early loss of David Warner, Prithvi Shah and Jake Fraser gave Delhi a good start. Shaw returned (39) soon following the powerplay was over. With the addition of skipper Rishabh Pant and Fraser, Delhi’s score was soaring.
The alliance added 77 runs for the third wicket. The partnership fell apart when Fraser returned with 55 runs off 35 balls. Two fours and five sixes were included in the innings. Naveen Ul Haq took the wicket. In the very next over, the ball was also out. The Delhi skipper scored 41 runs in 24 balls. Later Shai Hope and Tristan Stubbs combined to give Delhi an easy win.
Badoni as the savior
After a good start, Lucknow was facing a batting collapse in Ekna. Quinton de Kock (19) and Devdat Patikal (3) were dismissed by Khalil Ahmed’s new ball. The only thing that helped Lucknow later was the resistance of the captain Rahul. But with the arrival of Kuldeep Yadav following the powerplay, Lucknow’s middle order also came up.
Rahul (39), Marcus Stoinis (8) and Nicholas Pooran (0) surrendered in front of Kuldeep. Krunal Pandya (3) was also unable to keep up with the pace of Mukesh Kumar. But Lucknow was helped by Ayush Badoni’s presence at the crease. The player scored his half century from 31 balls.
Badoni added 73 runs in partnership with Arshad Khan for the eighth wicket. Badoni remained unbeaten on 55 runs off 35 balls. Five fours and one six were included in the innings. Arshad scored 20 runs off 16 balls. Apart from Kuldeep, Khalil, Ishant Sharma and Mukesh Kumar took a wicket each.
