Lucknow Super Giants Innings All Out (18.4 Overs)
The Lucknow Super Giants began their innings hoping to set up a huge score on the board. But bowlers from Delhi Capitals kept their lines tight and did not allow the batters to settle.
The opening pair did not create momentum. Lucknow was under pressure due to early wickets. The middle order attempted to rebuild, but frequent breakthroughs made it impossible for them to score freely.
Mitchell Marsh showed some intent during his brief stay at the crease. He played an important innings before getting out.
For Lucknow, Abdul Samad was another key performer. He took on the bowlers and led them to a total of 140+.
Lucknow, despite not recalling Ravi Bishnoi into their line-up, a late change made in the lead-up to this clash, whether or not that played a part as they could not capitalize on some fighting displays but could not survive their full quota of overs and were bowled out for 141.
