Right then, that is all we have from this game. The second game of this Super Sunday between Chennai and Hyderabad is already underway. So switch tabs and enjoy another fascinating contest. Cheers!
Mohsin Khan is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant spell (4-0-16-4).
For Lucknow, they began well but had no answers to the counter-attack by Pant and Marsh. Bishnoi though did really well in the middle overs. Krishnappa Gowtham was also decent and got a big wicket of Mitchell Marsh. However, Mohsin Khan was the star for Lucknow. He was absolutely brilliant and got wickets when mattered for his side. Have to say, he is the reason for his team's win in this game.
After putting on a big score on the board, they managed to get the two Delhi openers early. Then, Mitchell Marsh and Pant counter-attacked. They put on a decent stand in no time and took Delhi on top. Marsh fell but Pant continued along with Powell. They once again took Delhi in a good position but once Pant fell, Delhi kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel did try their best towards the end but it was not enough.
What a game of cricket! Absolutely brilliant! In the end, it is Lucknow who have bagged the two points. They managed to keep their cool in crunch situations in this game and have come out on top.

Marcus Stoinis to Axar Patel ,SIX! Axar Patel finishes it off with a maximum but sadly for Delhi it is not enough! It is a low full toss on off. Patel stays deep in his crease and gets under it this time. He tonks it over long on for a maximum. However, it is the Lucknow camp that is rejoicing as they have won this game by 6 runs!

Dushmantha Chameera to Axar Patel ,SIX! Yes, he does! A maximum for Delhi and they now need 21 runs from the last over! Poor bowling this by Dushmantha Chameera, it is a full ball, on leg. Patel just uses the pace of the ball and flicks it over deep backward square leg for a maximum.

Dushmantha Chameera to Kuldeep Yadav ,FOUR! Good shot from Kuldeep Yadav! A very important boundary for Delhi! Short delivery on off. Yadav pulls it to the deep mid-wicket region and one bounce into the fence.
Axar Patel looks in some pain here. There seems to be some issue on his right hip and he is getting some treatment now. He is fine and ready to resume.
