Aiden Markram c Tristan Stubbs b Dushmantha Chameera 52 33 2 3 157.58

9.6

Dushmantha Chameera to Aiden Markram, OUT! CAUGHT! Dushmantha Chameera gets the big fish and gets his first wicket of IPL 2025! Chameera keeps it full and bowls it outside off, with pace on. No boundaries in the last couple of overs and Aiden Markram tries to manufacture one here. Markram backs away and leans back, trying to smash it over the cover fence but can't control the shot and Tristan Stubbs takes a simple catch in the deep. Markram departs for a well-made 52 (33) and LSG are now 87/1!

Mitchell Marsh b Mukesh Kumar 45 36 3 1 125

13.6

Mukesh Kumar to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! TIMBER! Mukesh Kumar gets a double whammy and Lucknow Super Giants are falling like a pack of cards. Steams in from over the wicket and fires a perfect yorker, with pinpoint accuracy, on off, getting it to tail back in as well. Mitchell Marsh is way too late to get his bat down and fails to dig it out. The ball just clips the outer half of the off stump and the bails are dislodged. Mitchell Marsh departs after a fine knock of 45 (36) and Lucknow Super Giants are now 110/4.

Nicholas Pooran b Mitchell Starc 9 5 2 0 180

11.2

Mitchell Starc to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Mitchell Starc proves why he is rated amongst the best! Two quick wickets for Delhi Capitals and they are back in it! Starc smartly takes pace off and drops it very short, over off, Nicholas Pooran hops across and looks to pull but is deceived by the lack of pace. Goes through the shot way too early and gets an inside edge that goes back to crash into the stumps. The move to bring Starc back when Pooran is new to the crease works out perfectly for DC and Starc has now dismissed Pooran 5 times in the last 7 times he bowled to him in T20 cricket as mentioned on-air.

Abdul Samad c & b Mukesh Kumar 2 8 0 0 25

13.2

Mukesh Kumar to Abdul Samad, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! The change of bowling yet again works a wonder for Axar Patel and Delhi Capitals! The struggles of Abdul Samad come to an end. Mukesh Kumar goes into the surface on a back of a length, over middle and off. The ball skids through, and Abdul Samad is hurried onto the shot a bit. He looks to pull but hits it straight back to the bowler off the splice of the bat and Mukesh Kumar makes no mistake on his follow-through.

Ayush Badoni b Mukesh Kumar 36 21 6 0 171.43

19.4

Mukesh Kumar to Ayush Badoni, OUT! TIMBER! Mukesh Kumar has the last laugh but he might think, why didn't he just go for the yorker from the get-go. Quick and full around off, tailing back in late. Ayush Badoni shuffles across and sits down on one knee to lap it fine but it is just too full and quick and beats the bat to clip the off stump. Badoni departs after a very handy cameo of 36 from just 21 balls.

Rishabh Pant (C) (W) b Mukesh Kumar 0 2 0 0 0

19.6

Mukesh Kumar to Rishabh Pant, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Mukesh Kumar pulls things back brilliantly and ends up with a four-fer. Mukesh stays around the wicket and spears in a yorker towards the pads. Rishabh Pant just takes a step past the leg stump and looks for the reverse lap but ends up angling it off the inside edge onto the pads and straight back onto the stumps. Pant departs for a two-ball duck and Lucknow Super Giants finish with 159/6 on the board!

11.5

Aiden Markram to Abishek Porel, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder and David Miller nearly spilled it as well. Aiden Markram tosses the ball up from around the stumps and bowls it straighter. Abishek Porel doesn't quite get low enough and swings across, hitting it flat and towards deep mid-wicket, where Miller is well inside the ropes and hangs on to the ball low in front. Porel departs after a fine half century and LSG finally have their second wicket.

Karun Nair b Aiden Markram 15 9 2 1 166.67

3.4

Aiden Markram to Karun Nair, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Aiden Markram hits right back and gets the first wicket for Lucknow Super Giants. Markram goes fairly quicker, gives it a tad bit of flight as well but pulls the length back. This is angled into the batter and Karun Nair looks to swing it across the line but is beaten. The ball hits the back thigh pad and goes back into the stumps. Nair departs after a positive start and DC are 36/1 in 3.4 overs.
