Captain K.L. Rahul’s seventh fifty-plus score in his last 10 matches at the Wankhede Stadium and Mohsin Khan’s impressive four-wicket haul helped Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) do the double over Delhi Capitals (DC) with a six-run win in an Indian Premier League match on Sunday.
Rahul (77, 51b, 4x4, 5x6), opting to bat on a new track on a humid afternoon, opened alongside Quinton de Kock. The South Africa wicketkeeper-batter got Super Giants off to a brisk start, but fell to an off-cutter from Shardul Thakur within the PowerPlay.
In at No. 3, Deepak Hooda (52, 34b, 6x4, 1x6) was quick to get off the blocks, and alongside Rahul made good use of the smaller boundaries. Capitals finished with their worst bowling PowerPlay this season, conceding 57 runs.
