Turning Point:LSG vs DC
In a game filled with fireworks, it was a single delivery from Mitchell Starc that rewrote the script. At 99-1, Nicholas Pooran seemed ready to launch a brutal assault. But Starc, returning in the 12th over, outfoxed him with a slower ball that shattered his stumps and Lucknow’s momentum.
Pooran’s dismissal triggered a collapse that Delhi Capitals capitalised on with ruthless efficiency. The psychological edge Starc holds over Pooran deepened, making it a defining battle. From that delivery onward, the tide turned, proving once again how one ball in T20 cricket can shape the destiny of an entire match.
Unsung Hero: LSG vs DC
While Mukesh Kumar stole the headlines, it was Abhishek Porel who quietly set the stage for Delhi Capitals’ smooth chase. Opening the innings, the young left-hander scored a classy 51 off 36 balls, giving DC a flying start in a tricky 160-run chase. His knock blended elegance with maturity, keeping the pressure off the middle order.
Porel’s timing, control and smart shot selection ensured Delhi never fell behind the rate. Though he departed in the 12th over, his composed effort was the blueprint for Delhi’s dominance—an understated yet critical contribution that made him the unsung hero of the match.
