LSG beat DC by six runs to consolidate its place in the top four of the points table.

Hello and welcome to Sportstar's live coverage of the IPL 2022 match between DC and LSG at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.

Stunning effort from LSG. The win was set up KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda's fifties. DC threatened to chase down with ease when Pant and Marsh went after the LSG bowlers in the PowerPlay. But once those two fell, DC was left to play catch-up. Rovman Powell and Axar Patel raised hopes with his power-hitting but Powell's dismissal nipped the chase in the bud. Mohsin Khan finished with figures of 4-0-16-4. That would be all from our side. Thanks.

- END OF CHASE -

Marcus Stoinis to bowl the final over. Kuldeep slams a six first ball. Stoinis bowls a wide next ball. Single off the next ball and Axar is back on strike with 13 needed off 4. Dot. 13 needed off 3. Dot ball, Axar turns down a single. 13 off 2 now. Dot again. LSG have done it! All Stoinis needs to do is bowl a legitimate ball. Axar slams the last ball for six. Doesn't matter. LSG have won by six runs.

DC 175/7 in 19 overs: Chameera to bowl the 19th. 15 off it including a four for Kuldeep and a last-ball six for Axar. 21 needed off 6 now.

DC 160/7 in 18 overs: Holder. He drops Axar off the second ball! Player Review for lbw against Axar. Original decision not out. Wickets missing! LSG lose a review. Holder now misses a run out chance, Axar hurries back for a second off the fifth ball and Kuldeep could have been out by a mile at the non-striker's end had Holder carried the ball cleanly. Axar hits a four off the last ball. Capitals need 36 runs in 12 balls.

DC 150/7 in 17 overs: GONE! Powell holes out. Big wicket. Mohsin has three. Shardul Thakur comes to the crease. GONE! Thakur goes now! Mohsin has four. Capitals need 48 runs in 20 balls. Kuldeep is the new man. 4 runs and 2 wickets off the over. 46 needed off 18 now.

DC 146/5 in 16 overs: Here's Holder. Powell carves the second ball for four. 11 from the over in the end with some good running between the wickets. Capitals need 50 runs in 24 balls.

DC 135/5 in 15 overs: Bishnoi to kickstart things after the break. 11 off it including a massive six by Axar. DC still alive in the chase. They need 61 to win from 30 balls.

TIME OUT! Capitals need 72 runs in 36 balls.

DC 124/5 in 14 overs: Axar Patel is in at No. 7. Chameera with the ball. Four runs from this over. Excellent from the Lankan.

DC 120/5 in 13 overs: Mohsin is back into the attack. Powell continues to plunder runs, pulls the fourth ball for four. GONE! Pant has been clean bowled! He goes for a 30-ball 44. 7 runs and a wicket.

DC 113/4 in 12 overs: Gowtham comes back into the attack. Powell has absolutely pummelled a back-of-a-length ball over long-on for six! And another one, clean swing of the arms and way it goes for six. He ends the over with a four. 18 off the over.

DC 95/4 in 11 overs: Bishnoi. DROPPED! Rahul has dropped Pant. He had absolutely smashed it and Rahul got his hand to it at cover but couldn't hold on! How expensive will that be? 1 run off the over.

DC 94/4 in 10 overs: Holder to Powell, 2 runs. Single off the second ball. Pant smashes a four off the third ball. 7 from the over.

DC 87/4 in 9 overs: Bishnoi. Pant clobbers the third ball for four. GONE! Bowled'em. Lalit Yadav has been undone by the wrong'un! Rovman Powell joins Pant. 9 runs and a wicket. Capitals need 109 runs in 66 balls.

DC 78/3 in 8 overs: GONE! Marsh is caught behind off K Gowtham. He goes for 37. Lalit Yadav comes to the crease. Well, well, UltraEdge shows no spike as the ball passed Marsh's bat! 5 runs and a wicket.

DC 73/2 in 7 overs: Ravi Bishnoi into the attack.  K Gowtham misfields at deep point and Marsh will collect four more. LSG have been sloppy on the field thus far. 7 from the over.

TIME OUT!

DC 66/2 in 6 overs: Chameera to Marsh, four first ball as the team 50 comes up. SIX! Marsh has taken off at Wankhede, smokes a 97 m-six next ball! Pulled with disdain. 1 off the third. Pant, now, drives through covers for four. DC are bossing the PowerPlay. 1 off the fifth. 1 to finish. 17 off that over.

DC 49/2 in 5 overs: Holder into the attack. Marsh greets him with a six first ball. He follows it up with a lovely pick up shot for six off the third ball. Pant's turn to cash in, collects four off the fifth ball. 17 from this over. 36 off the last two!

DC 32/2 in 4 overs: Rishabh Pant comes to the crease. Krunal Pandya to roll his arm. Pant off the mark with a sweep for four. He collects 10 off the next two balls with a streaky four and a straight six. Pant means business. He ends the over with another four, courtesy a misfield by Holder. 19 from the over.

DC 13/2 in 3 overs: Mohsin Khan to Warner, collects three off the first ball. GONE! Big wicket, Warner has been caught off the last ball of the third over. Umpire review for a fair catch. Warner stays out!

DC 9/1 in 2 overs: Chameera starts from over the wicket and Shaw hits the first ball down the ground for four. Next ball, Shaw holes out! Top-edges a pull and LSG have drawn first blood. Mitchell Marsh is in at 3. Marsh punches his second ball off the backfoot for four. Dot to finish. 8 runs and a wicket.

DC 1/0 in 1 over: Shaw and Warner to begin the chase. Mohsin Khan with the new ball. Shaw on strike. Single off the fifth ball. Just one from it.

- START OF CHASE -

Excellent innings from LSG, K. L. Rahul leading the way with a magnificent 77. Rahul's innings had everything: graft, innovation, enterprise, surprise, dexterity, deft touches, and power. Hooda played excellently as well. Both of Capitals' losses here were after a bucketful of runs had been scored by the opposition. Chasing these many will be a difficult task. Join us, for the run chase, in a bit.

Deepak Hooda: "I'm having fun playing at No. 3. It is hot but we're used to playing in this heat. The pitch is a good one but the slower balls are stopping a bit after pitching. I'm sticking to my process. We were taking calculated risks. It's a challenging total."

LSG 196/3 in 20 overs: Last over of the innings, to be bowled by Mustafizur. He bowls a full delivery outside off-stump, it's squeezed out to deep point by Krunal Pandya. Two runs are picked up as there's a fumble by the fielder.

Wide. And wide again. He's bowling too wide outside the off-stump. The bowler switches to around the wicket. Low full toss to the left hander, driven to deep extra cover for two runs. Yorker outside the off-stump, squeezed out to deep point for a single. Stoinis gets a half-volley on middle-stump and he tees off! Hits a six straight down the ground - narrowly evades the sight screen! LSG in the 190s.

Slower ball, low full toss outside the off-stump, driven by Stoinis to sweeper cover for a single. Yorker outside the off-stump. Dug out by Krunal, and a single is picked up. Target for Capitals: 196.

LSG 180/3 in 19 overs: Shardul comes on to bowl his final over. Rahul picks up a single on the first ball. Then a wide down the leg side by Shardul. He's bowled quite a few wides today.

Full delivery to Stoinis, driven to extra cover for a single. Half-volley outside off-stump, Rahul tries a belligerent stroke, but the ball goes to third man for a six! Off a thickish outside edge.Oh and out! At the boundary at sweeper cover! The fielder there jumped to pluck it. It would have gone for a six otherwise. Rahul goes. What a knock. He smashed a full length delivery.

Krunal Pandya is the new batter. Shardul bowls another wide. Short of a length on leg-stump, Krunal clumsily plays the ball to midwicket and picks up two runs. Short of a length again, and Krunal plays the ball to mid-on and picks up a single.

K. L. Rahul c Lalit Yadav b Shardul 77 (51b, 4x4, 5x6)

LSG 167/2 in 18 overs: Mustafizur to bowl his third over. Is it dropped? Stoinis flicks on a half-volley on middle-stump to deep midwicket, but the fielder spills it! Rahul gets a similar delivery and he carved the ball out to deep point. Another single. Short of a length to Stoinis, who pulls hard to deep midwicket. Single.

Oh and what a stroke! Yorker on middle stump, Rahul plays the reverse-scoop! Four through third man, the ball goes past the fielder at short third man. Drives to cover to pick up a single. Wide of off-stump, Stoinis gets a bat on it. But no run.

 

LSG 159/2 in 17 overs: Sakariya comes on to bowl his final over.

Yorker on off-stump. Squeezed out to cover by Rahul for a single. Yorker again, this time it's wide outside the off-stump. Left alone by Stoinis. WIDE. That brings up the 150 for LSG. Half-volley to Stoinis, who drives to extra cover for a single. Half-volley outside off-stump, and it's carved away to deep extra cover for six runs! A lovely stroke from Rahul. Yorker, squeezed out to point for a single.

Slower delivery outside the off-stump, Stoinis tries to play the cut but is beaten. Too quick on the stroke, deceived by the lack of pace. Full, on middle-stump, flicked away to deep midwicket for a single.

 

LSG 148/2 in 16 overs: A half-volley on leg-stump by Kuldeep, and Rahul gently strokes the ball to deep midwicket for a single. A slip in place for Kuldeep as he bowls to Stoinis. On a good length; Stoinis, off the front foot, drives back tot he bowler. Then stays back in his crease to negotiate a slightly shorter delivery. No run. Makes room for himself but can't find the gap.

Short, coming into the right hander. Stoinis lofts the ball to deep midwicket, but there's not so much force on the stroke so he doesn't hole out to the man stationed there. One run. Rahul plays a sweep to short fine leg for a single.

LSG 145/2 in 15 overs: Rahul lands his knee on the ground for a belligerent hit - smashes a delivery from Shardul to deep midwicket for a single. Hooda slogs, too, and picks up two runs.

And out! Against the run of play. Hooda receives a full delivery and digs it out to the bowler! That wasn't a bump ball. Didn't bounce. Went straight to the hands of the bowler. An abrupt end to an excellent innings.

Marcus Stoinis is the new batter, he is off the mark with a boundary. Gets a good-length delivery outside off-stump, and nicely guides the ball to the boundary at extra cover. Stays in his crease and drives the next delivery back to the bowler. Four more! A half-volley on leg-stump, helped on its way to fine leg by the batter. The ball evades the diving wicketkeeper. A shout for lbw by the bowler but no entertained by the umpire. Leg byes signalled. Another expensive over by Shardul.

Deepak Hooda c & b Shardul 52 (34b, 6x4, 1x6)

TIME OUT

 

LSG 134/1 in 14 overs: Chetan Sakariya comes on to bowl his third over.

Half-volley on leg-stump, hit to midwicket for a single. Short of a length outside off, clumsily played for another single. Slower delivery outside off-stump, Rahul is beaten. Rahul squeezes the next delivery to point for a single. Then Hooda drives to extra cover for another quick single. Brings up his half-century.

Full, on off-stump, dug out to extra cover for another single. Five from it.

 

LSG 129/1 in 13 overs: Shardul Thakur comes on to bowl his second over.

Starts off with a length delivery outside off-stump, Rahul cuts fiercely to sweeper cover for a single. Short and wide to Hooda, who cuts, and this time the batters pick up two runs. Short and wide again, but this time it's too wide - given as a wide by the umpire. On a good length, on off-stump, steered to short third man for no run.

Full, outside off-stump, driven to extra cover for a single. Hooda had to dive to make it to the non-strikers' end on time. Full, outside off-stump, wide again. On a good length, outside off-stump, cut fiercely by Rahul for four! Excellent stroke. Takes him to 49. Full outside off-stump, and a wide once again! Wide outside off-stump again, cut to sweeper cover for a single. Brings up his 50.

 

LSG 117/1 in 12 overs: Chetan Sakariya comes on to bowl.

Starts off with a half-volley on middle-stump, it's lofted to deep extra cover by Hooda for four runs. It's nearly a six - the ball bounces less than a metre away from the boundary paddings. Sakariya switches to around the wicket. Bowls a length delivery on middle-stump, flicked to deep midwicket for a single. Oh and a nice pull for six from Rahul! It was short of a length, on leg-stump, Rahul just helped it on its way to fine leg. Full on middle-stump - Rahul drives back to the bowler for no run.

Low full toss: Rahul drives to extra cover for a single. Slower delivery, Hooda is beaten. He tries to play the cut, but is too early for the shot.

LSG 105/1 in 11 overs: Axar bowling his fourth.

Starts off with a short of a length delivery, driven off the back-foot to extra cover for a single. Short of a length again, driven from the crease back to the bowler. Short of a length again, but wide of off-stump - it's a wide. Hooda comes down the pitch and lofts the ball to long-on for a six! Converts the delivery into a half-volley - it's actually on a good length.

Hooda tucks the next delivery to midwicket for a single. And then Rahul hits the ball to deep midwicket for another single. Last delivery: on a good length, on leg-stump, flicked off his hips for a single.

 

LSG 94/1 in 10 overs: Kuldeep continues. Fires it in full, on off-stump, it's converted into a full toss and the ball is swept to deep square leg for a single. Rahul tries to play the same stroke to the next delivery, which is not as full, but he slips as he plays the sweep. Single.

Full again, outside off-stump, Hooda drives the ball to deep extra cover for four runs! Races to the boundary. Then a single. Rahul tees off! It's a half-volley on leg-stump, and it's smashes to cow corner for a six! That's the third six of the innings. LSG into the 90s.

Last delivery: it's short of a length, on leg-stump, tucked away to midwicket for a single.

LSG 80/1 in 9 overs: Axar continues. Hooda drives to cover for no run. Slightly fuller, Hooda drives fiercely through extra cover for four runs! Full delivery, flicked to long-on for a single. Short of a length, Rahul hits the ball to deep cover for a sningle. Another single, this time the ball is hit to deep midwicket.

Short of a length, coming into the right hander. Rahul shapes up for the cut but is perhaps deceived by the pace of the delivery - it's slower. So he can only awkwardly defend it.

LSG 73/1 in 8 overs: Kuldeep Yadav, the man in form, comes into the attack. He starts off with a full delivery on middle-stump to Rahul, who drives excellently for a boundary! Down the ground. On a good length, outside off-stump, Rahul nudges the ball to cover for a single.

Oh, four more! Hooda gets a full delivery outside off-stump and squeezes the ball to deep cover. Hooda drives the next delivery clumsily - single. Then Rahul stays back in his crease and flicks the ball to deep midwicket for a single. Hooda plays a drive off the back-foot for a single.

TIME OUT

 

LSG 61/1 in 7 overs: Axar Patel comes on for his second over.

He's bowling on a good length, a stump-to-stump line. Played cautiously by the batters. Hooda takes a single off the first delivery - through an off-drive. Rahul tucks the ball to the leg side for a single on the fourth delivery. Two more singles to finish.

LSG 57/1 in 6 overs: Short of a length outside off-stump from Mustafizur. Nudged to point for a single. Short of a length outside off-stump again, and this time, the batter plays the late cut for a boundary through third man.

Dot ball. Then Rahul tucks to the leg side for two runs. A dot and single to finish off.

LSG 49/1 in 5 overs: Shardul Thakur comes into the attack. Single off the first ball. And out! De Kock gets a full delivery outside off-stump, reaches out to it, and gets an edge as he tries to smash the ball to long-off. Lalit Yadav, at backward point, takes the catch.

Deepak Hooda comes out to bat, and is lucky to survive his first delivery! Gets an inside edge to a full delivery from Shardul, but no harm done. Goes or a boundary. Oh and a nice drive for just a single. A wide down the leg side, a single, and a dot ball to finish off.

Quinton de Kock c Lalit Yadav b Shardul 23 (13b, 3x4, 1x6)

 

LSG 41/0 in 4 overs: Lalit Yadav comes on to bowl.

De Kock clumsily plays a short of a length delivery to mid-off and picks up a single. Oh and nearly chipped back to the bowler! Rahul tries to tuck the ball to the leg side but gets a leading edge, but it falls short of the bowler. And a nice inside-out stroke from Rahul for six! Comes down the pitch and lofts the ball to deep extra cover.

Then gets a knee on the ground and nicely sweeps it to fine leg - the ball goes over the head of the fielder at short fine leg - for four runs! DROPPED! Rahul smashes the ball back to the bowler, who just gets a hand on it. It was struck really hard; the batters run a single.

Last ball: short and wide, de Kock takes full toll, collects four more.

LSG 25/0 in 3 overs: Axar Patel to bowl the third over. A quiet over: the last four deliveries were dot balls. He bowled on a good length to the right handed Rahul, who cut or drove those deliveries to the fielder. There was a wide as well: just three from it. 

 

LSG 22/0 in 2 overs: Chetan Sakariya to bowl the second over.

A wide slip in place for him as he bowls to Rahul. Short of a length, outside off-stump, defended nudged by Rahul to the off-side and a single is picked up. Short of a length, into the body, nudged to the leg side by de Kock for a single. On a good length, on off-stump, defended by Rahul for a single.

De Kock drives to extra cover for a single. Wide down the leg side, and the keeper fumbles the ball so a the batters take a run. Oh and the first belligerent hit of the day! Length ball, on off-stump, slogged to cow corner for six runs by de Kock. Overpitched, outside off-stump, de Kock drives for a four through extra cover.

LSG 6/0 in 1 over: Inside edge first ball! French cut, past the stumps for four runs! It was full, de Kock attempted the drive, but inside edged it. Fuller, on middle and leg, flicked to midwicket for a single. Full, outside off-stump to Rahul, who flicks to midwicket for a single.

Fourth delivery: full, on-driven to mid-on by de Kock for no run. Then a wide down the leg side: oh not given a wide! De Kock gets a length delivery outside off and tries to smash the ball out of the park: beaten.

 

---

1528 IST : Umpires Ravikant Reddy and Chris Gaffaney come out to take their positions. K. L. Rahul and Quinton de Kock come out to open.  Mustafizur Rahman will bowl the first over. All set for action.

1515 IST : Capitals' record this season at the Wankhede Stadium: two losses and a win. Both losses were after their opponent put up a gigantic total on the board, and their win against KKR here on April 28 was facilitated by their bowlers - in particular Kuldeep Yadav - who restricted KKR to 146 for 9 in 20 overs. Needless to say, their bowling performance today will be key, and if the LSG openers can be dismissed cheaply, they will have a big advantage.

1500 IST : K. L. Rahul has won the toss. LSG will bat first. "Have asked the batters to play smarter," says Rahul. One change for LSG: Avesh Khan goes out, K. Gowtham comes in.

Don't mind bowling first, says Rishabh Pant. No change in the Capitals' line-up.

1455 IST : Looks like a beautiful wicket, says Kevin Pietersen in the pitch report. 160-170 could be a reasonable score, he says.

1445 IST : Three wins out of the last five games for both teams. LSG has two more wins, but has played a game more. A win for the Capitals will close the gap between the two teams further. Three out of four wins for the Capitals have come bowling first, but it like RCB yesterday, the team may choose to bat first. We're 15 minutes away from the toss.

LSG vs DC MATCH PREVIEW

The Delhi Capitals (DC) will be out to exact revenge when it meets Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a return leg fixture at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

The DC bowlers ran into a marauding Quinton de Kock in their previous Indian Premier League (IPL) meeting on April 7. The South African wicketkeeper-batter’s 52-ball 80 saw LSG register a convincing six-wicket victory.

RELATED |

DC and LSG head into Sunday’s fixture on the back of emphatic wins over the Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, respectively.

The Super Giants’ ordinary bowling performances in the PowerPlay this season may hand the Capitals an early advantage with the franchise possessing a formidable opening pair in Prithvi Shaw and David Warner.

Only Shikhar Dhawan is ahead of Warner when it comes to the number of runs scored in the first six overs since IPL 2016.

ALSO READ |

The Capitals have scored the second-lowest runs at the death this season (267). They will be wary of the threat posed by the Super Giants bowlers, who have run rings around batters during the slog overs. Lucknow’s 22 wickets in the last four overs is the best by any team, thus far.

A 3:30 pm start means dew won’t be a factor. The track at Wankhede is expected to be hard. Teams batting first have won five of the last seven games at the venue. With a dry outfield and smaller boundaries, the upcoming match has the makings of a power-hitting showdown.
