lsg vs dc: Warner's fight didn't work, Lucknow won with Wood's power

Two sharp brains like Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting in the dugout.  The armband of leadership is in the hands of David Warner.  The team includes cricketers like Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Riley Rossore, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav.  However, victory in the first match of IPL remained elusive for Delhi Capitals.  In the first match they lost to Lucknow Super Giants by 50 runs.  The lack of Rishabh panth was very noticeable.  Batting first, Lucknow picked up 193/6.  In reply, Delhi made 143/9 in 20 overs.

In the first match of Delhi Capitals, the reasons for the disaster will be strong bowling inexperience and batting failure.  Mukesh Kumar, Chetan Sakaria, Khalil Amedra could not shine at all against Lucknow Super Giants.  Two experienced spinners Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav are also in the same situation.  Lucknow Super Giants were able to build a big innings because of the failure of the Delhi bowlers.  Two Caribbean batsmen, Kyle Meyers and Nicholas Pooran, were instrumental in helping Lucknow score big runs.

Delhi Capitals captain David Warner won the toss and sent Lucknow to bat.  Lokesh Rahul and Kyle Meyers could not show power in front of the Delhi bowlers.  Lokesh Rahul (8 off 12 balls) was picked up by Chetan Sakaria in the fourth over.  Kyle Meyers then ran the rampage.  However, Deepak Hooda (17 off 18 balls) could not take advantage.  He was picked up by Kuldeep Yadav in the last ball of the eleventh over.  Kyle Meyers returned in the next over.

When Meyers got out after playing a blistering innings of 73 runs from 38 balls, Lucknow got a platform for big runs.  Then Nicholas Pooran (36 off 21 balls) took the team forward.  Ayus Badoni played an effective innings of 18 runs off 7 balls at the end.  Lucknow reached 193/6 in 20 overs.  Khalil Amed and Chetan Sakaria took 2 wickets each.  Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav got 1 wicket each.  Bengal's Mukesh Kumar failed in IPL debut.

Delhi started well when they went into bat with a target of 194 runs to win.  41 in the opening pair.  In the third ball of the fifth over, Mark Wood brought Lucknow's first success by knocking off the stumps of Prithvi Shaw (12 off 9).  The stump of Mitchell Marsh (0) also knocked down the next ball.  Delhi lost two consecutive wickets and fell under pressure.  Wood struck again in the seventh over.  Return Sarfraz Khan (4).

 Delhi lost 3 wickets for 48 runs in 7 overs.  After that, the pair of Warner and Rosso were pulling the team.  Delhi's hope of victory ended when Ravi Bishno picked Riley Rosso (30 off 20 balls) in the last ball of the twelfth over.  Rovman Powell (4) could not match himself.  Captain David Warner (56 off 48 balls) fought alone.  Delhi made 143/9 in 20 overs.  Mark Wood picked up 5 wickets for 14 runs with fast bowling.  2 wickets for 31 runs by Ravi Bishnoi.  Abesh Khan took 2 wickets for 29 runs.
