  • David Miller14 (15b)
  • Mukesh Kumar4-0-33-4
  • Mitchell Starc4-0-25-1

Badoni says the pitch is on the slower side but reckons this total is below par. He says about 180 would have been good. LSG were going pretty well with their openers putting on 87, and then Pooran starting so well against Kuldeep. Then DC brought Starc back and he got Pooran and then it was all downhill from there for LSG.

Jai: "Wow !Pant looks completely out of sorts right now.He seemed to be livid after that dismissal !!"

Mukesh for the final over.

ddn: "Bringing in Badoni as impact sub also means that they can't get a bowler like Mayank in now. LSG was not in a situation of collapse to bring Badoni in." LSG do have five specialist bowlers, with Markram as the sixth option.
