IPL 2023, LSG vs DC Live Score: Punjab win by 7 runs courtesy DLS

 

In the first match of the day, the Punjab Kings turned out to be victorious thanks to the Duckworth Lewis and Stern method. The game could not be completed due to rain and at the time when it was stopped, the Knight Riders were 146/7, needing 46 off the last 24 balls with Shardul Thakur and Sunil Narine batting. 

 

The purple brigade had lost two quick wickets in Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer in back to back overs before the rain and that caused the DLS par score to go higher and higher. In the end, even after Narine hitting a six off the last ball of the over after which the game was stopped, KKR fell short by 7 runs.

It was a slower bouncer from Nathan Ellis and Russell went bang on with the pull shot, but the connection was always going to be risky with the slowness of the delivery.
