Down 26/4 in the fifth over of the chase, Delhi Capitals looked like they were about to mess up a straightforward 142-run target. But nerves of steel from the unflappable Tristan Stubbs in support of a star turn from player of the match Sameer Rizvi saw the pair pile on 119 runs, and take the two points back home from the Ekana Stadium.

Rishabh Pant made the interesting decision to promote himself to open the batting. His wicket came in unfortunate circumstances, caught out by a deflection at the non-striker's end. No slice of luck going the LSG captain's way.(ANI Pic Service)

Mitchell Marsh seemed in good touch for LSG, striking a few boundaries where he flexed all his power. However, he was undone in a moment of impatience, trying to take on Kuldeep Yadav having already hit him for six in that over. Score 35, but could have had more.(ANI Pic Service)

After Aiden Markram was castled by Axar Patel and Ayush Badoni edged behind, LSG needed a big partnership between Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh. Pooran, however, was undone by a deathly dipping yorker by Lungi Ngidi, the first victim of what could be the delivery type that defines the IPL.(ANI Pic Service)

Lungi Ngidi is in the bowling form of his life, having developed a deadly slower ball which dips and bends at the last moment. In Mitchell Starc's absence, he will need to be the leader of DC's attack – and he proved his value with 3 wickets.(AFP)
