LSG vs DC Highlights Match 3 – IPL 2023 Season 16: Mark Wood, Kyle Mayers’ star in big win for Super Giants

Having
posted
a
massive
193
for
the
loss
of
5
wickets
in
the
stipulated
20
overs,
the
KL
Rahul-led
side
restricted
David
Warner
and
his
band
to
143
for
9
and
pocketed
two
crucial
points
with
the
win.

Kyle
Mayers
steals
the
show
on
IPL
debut

Kyle
Mayers
–
who
opened
the
innings
for
LSG
after
they
were
put
to
bat
first
–
played
a
superb
knock
of
73
off
just
38
deliveries.
The
West
Indies
all-rounder
opened
the
innings
for
the
Super
Giants
in
the
absence
of
South
African
Quinton
de
Kock
along
with
Lokesh
Rahul.

The
aggressive
left-handed
batter
–
playing
his
debut
IPL
game
–
made
most
of
the
reprieve
he
got
early
in
the
innings
when
Khaleel
Ahmed
put
down
a
sitter.
Mayers
didn’t
look
back
from
then
on
and
unleashed
his
beast
mode.
By
the
time
he
was
dismissed,
the
Caribbean
all-rounder
smashed
seven
sixes
and
a
couple
of
fours.

While
captain
Rahul
was
dismissed
early,
Mayers
added
79
runs
with
Deepak
Hooda
(17)
for
the
second
wicket
and
laid
the
foundation
for
a
big
total
for
the
hosts.
He
will
certainly
cause
a
selection
headache
in
the
coming
games
when
QDK
returns
from
national
duty.

Later
in
the
match,
Nicholas
Pooran
–
who
was
bought
for
a
whopping
Rs
16
crore
–
scored
a
quickfire
36
off
21
balls
for
LSG
–
playing
their
first
home
game
–
in
the
slog
overs.
Small
cameos
from
Ayush
Badoni
and
K
Gowtham
in
the
final
over
helped
their
team
post
a
huge
total
on
the
board.

Khaleel
–
who
had
a
poor
outing
as
a
fielder
–
was
the
most
successful
bowler
with
figures
of
2
for
30.
All-rounder
Axar
Patel
(1/38)
and
Kuldeep
Yadav
(1/35)
got
some
turn
off
the
surface
and
got
a
wicket
each.

Mark
Wood
stars
in
debut
game
for
LSG

Chasing
a
big
total,
Delhi
Capitals
got
to
a
decent
start
as
young
India
cricketer
Prithvi
Shaw
(12)
shared
an
opening
stand
of
41
runs
with
captain
Warner
but
was
dismissed
inside
the
powerplay.
Shaw
and
in-form
Mitchell
Marsh
(0)
were
dismissed
off
consecutive
deliveries
by
the
pace
merchant
from
England.

Wood’s
double
strikes
pushed
Delhi
Capitals
on
the
back
foot
and
the
right-arm
quick
–
who
was
also
playing
his
first
match
for
LSG
–
made
his
mark
by
grabbing
a
fifer.
Such
was
the
intensity
and
accuracy
from
Wood
that
he
conceded
just
one
boundary
from
his
full
quota
of
4
overs.

Wood
–
who
constantly
clicked
140-plus
in
the
match
–
finished
with
figures
of
5
for
14
and
ensured
Super
Giants
register
a
clinical
win.
He
was
even
awarded
the
player
of
the
match
for
his
stupendous
show.

Warner
lone
warrior
for
DC

Captain
Warner
didn’t
find
much
support
from
the
batters
in
the
big
run
chase
but
the
left-handed
batter
from
Australia
notched
up
yet
another
half-century
in
the
competition.
Warner
scored
a
48-ball
56
and
kept
waging
a
lone
battle
for
his
team
against
a
spirited
Lucknow
side
which
hardly
did
anything
wrong.

DC
franchise
might
have
lost
the
game
but
their
gesture
of
hanging
Rishabh
Pant’s
jersey
in
the
dugout
received
a
lot
of
appreciation.
Pant
–
who
is
the
designated
captain
of
the
Delhi-based
franchise
–
is
missing
this
edition
as
he’s
recovering
from
the
injuries
he
sustained
in
the
car
crash
last
year.
