🏏IPL 2025 - Match 4: DC vs LSG, 24 March 2025 @ 7:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 63

LSG will have mixed feelings right now. They looked so good when Pooran was there in the 15th over. His dismissal though saw just 40 scored off the next 31 legal balls. So DC will be happy with the end overs. Starc and the others have to be credited for that comeback. Earlier on, Marsh and Pooran's stand of 87 set up the platform for DC. Both the batters went big with the latter taking a particular liking to Stubbs' matchup option against him. He took 28 off that over and the left-hander was severe on the spinners. Axar probably missed a trick by not bowling Kuldeep against the duo instead opting for the others. Just when the duo looked like taking LSG to a score well over 220, Mukesh got Marsh and soon Starc dismissed Pooran. This is a good wicket and DC will be looking to chase this down. LSG have a not-so great lineup on paper. Let's see how they do.

9.20pm LSG looked set to get to 250 or thereabouts with Pooran and Marsh going bonkers. But they lost 48 for 6 in the last 38 balls of the innings and it took two sixes off the last two balls of the innings for them to get past 200. Kuldeep, Starc, Mohit and Axar were all excellent in the second half of the innings to stop LSG's charge. Pooran was dropped early and made the most of it, while Marsh was devastating at the top against his old team. Now LSG have a fairly inexperienced bowling lineup with a tough task on hand.

Most teams ka blue obsession is annoying.

Every team should use different colours.

Upar se red and blue is such bad combination. Not so pleasant to eyes

Mitchell Marsh: I thought we batted really well, wanted a few more after the way we started, but I think 210 is a very competitive score. I think it's all about backing your skills. Need to keep a partnership going when you are in. You got to back the guys coming in after that kind of start. Credit to the Delhi boys to pull things back like the way they did. It was swinging a bit I think (laughs.) I like Vizag, it's a beautiful wicket down here, the batters enjoyed it. Hopefully our bowlers will do the job. Life is good mate. No bowling (laughs.)

- 16 sixes by LSG in this innings is the joint-most they hit in an IPL innings alongside 16 against the same opponent they scored in 2023 at Lucknow.
