IPL 2023

The Shikhar Dhawan-led Punjab Kings notched first points on the board by defeating Nitish Rana's Kolkata Knight Riders via DLS method in Mohali.

But the loss of both the batters in quick succession ended Knight Riders’ hope. Varun Chakravarthy’s strangulating spell in the second half of the innings during which he cleaned up Dhawan (40) slowed down the scoring. Chasing 192, Knight Riders clawed back into the game and launch a final assault on the target when heavy rain stopped play at the end of the 16th over.

Lucknow Super Giants, riding on great show by Kyle Myers and Mark Wood, defeated Delhi Capitals by 50 runs in the IPL match in Lucknow.

The 16 sixes conceded by DC bowlers was a testimony to their inconsistency. Deepak Hooda (17, 18b) at the other end was a mere spectator to Mayers’ fury as they stitched 79 runs in 42 balls to accelerate the run-rate in the middle overs. Bishnoi and ‘Impact Substitute’ Krishnappa Gowtham (0/19 in 4 overs) bowled admirably well in dew-laden conditions and the later in fact showed his multi-skill worth with a last ball six during LSG’s batting innings. From 41 for no loss to 48 for 3, it happened in a space of couple of overs DC weren’t able to make a comeback after Wood had destroyed their confidence with raw pace. In case of Sarfaraz Khan (4), his weakness against pacey short-pitched stuff is well documented and Wood directed one at his body, which could have blown his head off and he tried a non-existent ramp shot getting himself into a tangle and the easiest of catches was taken at fine-leg boundary. Wood (5/14 in 4 overs) bowled back-to-back lethal in-cutters at 147 clicks which Prithvi Shaw (12) and Mitchell Marsh (0) failed to even bring their respective bats down before the ball hit the ‘wood’ work.
