We practised with the wetball. Last time I was here was for CSK and didn'tgo well. Happy to improve fromn that. ball anddid not go into the match. I slipped in the match.But KL was patientand Morne helped me as well.Today I was trying to keep it short and come froma longer run up. It does affect you, if you haveto constantly think about the landing area. So,happy to have sorted it out and getting the jobdone for the team. Happy to help the team win inthe end."KL Rahul(Lucknow Super Giants captain):" Yeah, itwas a great start I think. At the initial stage, I saidthat we were clueless about the pitch as well. Weweren't familiar with the conditions. We will takea lot of confidence with this one. Again, the tossis not in our hands, but with the new rule, you getto choose what team you want to go with. It hascome in handy.I felt that we were 25-30 runs above par. Theway Kyle batted, took the approach against thespinners, and got us to a good start, was superb.But the way they started in the first three over,they were about 30-odd runs I think.The whole group I think. It was Woody's day. hetook six [five actually] wickets, which was reallywell. He made an impact there. It was Woody'sday but I think in the end, it was the overall groupwho did the job.Obviously, we will take a lot of confidence fromit. We will try to take as much off it. This is T20cricket, and we will try not to overdo it. But yes, wewill take the confidence from it"Active Catch of the Match: Prithvi ShawLongest Six of the Match: Kyle Mayers (99m)Most Fours of the Match: David WarnerMost Valuable Asset of the Match: Kyle MayersGame Changer of the Match: Mark WoodElectric Striker of the Match: Kyle MayersMarcus Stoinis (Lucknow Super Giants):"A greatstart by the boys and we are happy that we haveWon in the manner we did. Yes, nice to havethose problems Iike that. The coaches say goodproblem to have. It was soaking wet out there.We practise under lights. It's a sandy surface, theguys slipped up here and there. It happens. Thepitch looked different at each ends. One end spunwhile the others helped the pacers. So, we had toadjust to the conditions and we did that. Yes, I amhappy that I was not needed to bowl. But if calledfor, I am ready to bowl and good to go."David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "It wasdifficult to bat during the chase as it was made bythe LSG bowlers. They bowled really well in thepowerplay and put us under pressure. During thetoss, I thought 175 should be par. But they addeda few more runs. Not to take anything awayfrom their bowlers, who bowled with good intentand putus in trouble. They did an outstandingjob. Momentum is important in this game. Wetalk about forming alliances, but you can't takeWood's place. He's a fantastic bowler, and hedemonstrated his true talent and experiencetonight. See, you can't dropa catch and that tof Kyle Mayers. In fact, you shouldn't be droppingcatches. Once you give life to a big guy will makeyou pay for it. From either end, it appeared as ifyou were bowling on two different surfaces. It'sa case ofgoing back to the drawing board for us.We go back to Delhi infront of our home crowdfor the next game. I think I have been back inDelhi around 2010-11. Now the pitch there mighthave changed a bit. Haha.. I would like to forthat(Cheekily smiles when asked aboutplayiny..Delhi in the BGT Test match vs India last month)."Arriving for a hefty chase Delhi Capitals falteredwith every wicket inside the powerplay. It wasMark Wood who rushed the batters with pace andenforced cracks in the wall of the Capitals. Warnerwas the lone warrior for them and lost partnerswho could succor him at the right time. PrithviShaw and the skipper looked in good touch untilthe inception of Wood. The Englishman wentthrough the gates of Shaw and Mitchell Marshon back-to-back deliveries, pushing Delhi on theback foot.Sarfaraz Khan was promoted second down butfailed to gleam. He got some wood on a seriousbumper, losing his poise and falling bizarrely.Rilee Rossouw (30) glued 38 runs with Warner inthe middle but was removed by Ravi Bishnoi. Thiswas yet another awkward dismissal where theProteas batter got the swell of the blade on thefollow-through of the shot, ending up in a caught-Out.Rovman Powell and Aman Khan looked likewalking wickets and Warner (56 off 48 balls)succumbed under the pressure. The tail draggedon with some runs but it didn't add much value.Mark Wood arrived for the ultimate over andenforced two wickets, bringing up the first fifer ofIPL 2023. Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi baggedtwo wickets each.Earlier, David Warner of DC had won the toss andelected to field first.

IPL23 Match no 50 RCB vs DC this Match DC won by 7 wickets. Phil Salt (Player of the Match): "We spoke beforethe game about being positive and take them on.We saw how good they were in Bangalore whenthey had their tails up.The real strength of mine is when I get going Idon't really look to take my foot off the pedal toooften. We knew the wicket was quite slow andlow and we knew that realistically we would slowdown in the middle.I thought it was par. I thought we would have tobat really well to get there but the boys came outswinging and played really wel.Marsh came in and hit the second ball for six orsomething like that and it puts the bowlers on thebackfoot. He's a top player.David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "That wasamazing. I thought 180 was probably par score.The ball started skidding nicely at the back end. Iwas confident restricting them to 180 if we comeOut with the intent led by Phil Salt to try chase thistotal down.We said from the outside that we wanted to gofor the target. Siraj and Hazlewood might havebowled the other overs well but that was Ourintention today. Siraj has been bowling extremelywell and he's their backbone. He takes earlywickets in the powerplay and if we take him on a little bit and bring back his length where a lotof his dismissals have been bowled and LB. Thatwould work in our favor. We were able to get to agood start in the first 6 anda great finish there bySalty and Rilee.Credit to the way the bowlers have bowled. Theywere fantastic, they defended 130 twice. Anrichisn't here one of the most experience but Ishantleading there and Khaleel which makes us astronger. Indian bowling component. With theexperience of Kuldeep and Axar as well. They are2 outstanding bowlers and we gota great team anda great momentum now.Its all about momentum and its all jammed atthe momnent We go on to Chennai now. We knowits gonna be a tough one down there. They'vegot some good momentum as well. I think we'vefound the right balance now at the right time." Rilee Rossouw (Delhi Capitals): "We bowled quitewell. It was a great result for us. I thought it wasa decent score. Warner and Salt were wonderfulup at the top. Then Marsh followed it really well. Icame up with the same intent and tried to knockoff the remaining runs. We are wonderful as agroup. It has been an amazing feeling. They arevery supportive even though not playing.It was a tricky pitch. It was gripping and turningearlier. I think Salt playeda blinder. He wasfantastic and the way he took on the bowlersin the fist six set the match for us. Otherwise, iwould have been a tough chase. The intent of can't lose anymore brings out thebest in us. We can't lose any game from here andthe freedom it gave us was the result you sawtonight. The way we played tonight no one will tellthat we lost 6 games or how many ever. We needto keep going and who knows we might be luckyto sneak into the playoffs." Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers BangaloreCaptain): "I felt it was pretty close. We walkedaway with a total of 180+ andat the halfway markit was close. There was a bit of dew and we haveto give credit to their batters.The dew came and our spinners couldn't comeinto the play. A little bit of dew and it hamperedOur plans. I felt that the pitch changed a bit as thematch progressed. When we batted it was quiteslow. At the end of the 12th over, we thought.was a good score. Obviously, you want one ot uieovers to go for 15-20 and get to 2O0. But they got off to a strong start and the base wasset. With the dew settling in, our bowlers weren'tin control of the proceedings. Their batters putour spinners under pressure. We gave a goodfoundation for Maxi to come at three. But verypleased to see Lomror the way he played. Goodtalent and finally, he showed what he has got.Very positive from him. We want someone atnumber 3 to score runs and that will be icing onthe cake. Delhi Capitals finally removethemselves from the number 10 spot in thepoints table with a thumping win over theRoyal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets! Amagnificent batting display from the hosts whereevery batter who got the opportunity banked on itand took the team to win with 20 balls in hand.RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the tOss earlierand elected to bat first with RCB scoring 181/4their 20 overs on the back of half centuries froMahipal Lomror (54* off 29) and Virat Kohli (55 off 42 ) RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss earlierand elected to bat first with RCB scoring 181J4 intheir 20O overs on the back of half centuries fromnMahipal Lomror (54* off 29) and Virat Kohli (55 off46).
