LSG vs DC: Twitter Reacts As Lucknow Put Up All-Round Performance To Seal 3rd Win On The Trot

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) continued to impress in its debut IPL season as it defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on a hot Thursday night.

Chasing 150 on a two-paced surface, Lucknow was ahead in the run chase courtesy of Quinton de Kock‘s measured 80-run knock in 52 balls. His knock included 9 fours and 2 maximums and was crucial to set the tempo.

After his dismissal, the other batters struggled and barely anybody could maintain a strike rate over 100. However, the target was never going to be enough and Krunal Pandya ensured that they get over the line in the final over.

Anrich Nortje had a terrible game on his return from injury, bowling only 2.2 overs before he was barred from bowling after delivering two dangerous beamers – one each to de Kock and Deepak Hooda.

Earlier, DC opener Prithvi Shaw hogged the limelight during David Warner’s return to his first franchise. He scored 61 out of the 67 runs at the beginning before being dismissed by Krishnappa Gowtham.

Warner struggled his way to a 12-ball 4. Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan stitched an unbeaten 75-run partnership to push the total to 149/3. Ravi Bishnoi was the pick of the bowlers once again as he ended with figures of 2/22 in four overs.

With the win over DC, Lucknow now moves to second place on the points table with 3 wins in four matches, similar to that of the table-toppers, Kolkata Knight Riders.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to LSG vs DC:

Phenomenal knock this from De Kock. Looked as if he was batting on a different pitch. He was seeing the ball well, and on the rare ocassion he didn’t see the ball, it still went all the way! #LSGvDC #IPL2022 pic.twitter.com/xcM3ScYTbJ

Badoni finishes it off with a maximum, and LSG win by 6⃣ wickets.

Time to regroup and come back stronger on Sunday 💪#YehHaiNayiDilli #IPL2022 #LSGvDC

Looked close in the end but that was artificial excitement more than anything. Lucknow had enough depth in their reserves.
Delhi lack meat in their middle and lower-middle order #DCvsLSG #IPL2022 @LucknowIPL @DelhiCapitals

The #IPL2022 is only 10 days old but Debutante Ayush Badoni plays like he has been playing the game for years. Calm, fearless and talented: one for the future. #DCvsLSG
