Delhi Capitals secured a 19-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday (May 14) as LSG failed to chase down 209.
Arun Jaitley Stadium missed witnessing Jake Fraser-McGurk's big shots as he was dismissed for a duck in the very first over.
Abishek Porel (58 off 33) and Shai Hope (38 off 27) quickly shifted the momentum giving DC a strong start in the Powerplay.
Then Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs continued the innings with crucial 33 off 23 and 57* off 25, respectively.
DC's impact player Ishant Sharma scalped both LSG openers within the first three overs and dismissed Deepak Hooda for a duck in his next bowled over.
After LSG were pushed to an abysmal 44-4, Nicholas Pooran brought them back to the chase with his 61 off just 27.
Arshad Khan and Yudhvir Singh took on the pacers well and scored 58* off 33 and 14 off 7, respectively.
But, a wondrous couple of death overs from Mukesh Kumar and Rasikh Dar sealed the deal for DC as LSG ended at 189/9.
