11.55pm That's all we have for you from this game. Thanks for your company and comments. This is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Alan Gardner and P Ranjith. Stay safe and good night.
Rahul: I think we were brilliant [with the ball], but powerplay is something we have to work on. We showed a lot of character but after the powerplay, the bowlers had a good chat and knew what lines and lengths to bowl and executed well. We just like to know what to chase. Dew factor does play on the minds of team and everyone chooses to bowl first because of that. Last game there wasn't much dew here and we got lucky. Today, there was a lot of dew and I think everyone likes chasing. Badoni has held his nerve everything he has gone into bat. Obviously, great learning for him and it's important for him to keep working hard and stay humble.
de Kock, Player of the Match: I just play what is put in front of me. It was a chaseable score but we made sure not to get too ahead of ourselves. We just wanted to keep wickets in hand. Obviously, Prithvi made it look easy and I also felt the wicket was a bit low and slower balls were gripping. It was a matter of playing straightish.
11.35pm Third win in four games for Lucknow Super Giants. It was set up by their bowlers who restricted Capitals to 149 for 3, despite Shaw's 34-ball 61. De Kock hit a half-century in LSG's chase but they stumbled thereafter and only managed to finish it off in the last over.
Pant: Obviously when the dew is like that, you can't complain. But as a batting unit, we were 10-15 runs short. We just wanted to give our 100% till the last ball of the 40th over. I think the powerplay was fine, but the main game changed in the middle overs. The spinners bowled well, but we were 10-15 runs short.
