The way Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) began their IPL match at the Ekana Stadium on Tuesday, after being put in to bat by Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Axar Patel, it seemed the home team would dominate the contest.

Being 87 without loss in 10 overs, a total of 200 seemed easy. But within a matter of 19 balls, the whole match turned on its head as LSG lost four wickets for the addition of just 13 runs and then never recovered from the blows delivered by Mukesh Kumar (4-33) with his superb spell that prevented the home team from posting even a fighting total.
