Mitchell Starc brought about the dismissal of Nicholas Pooran on the second delivery of the 12th over of the ongoing clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals at the Ekana International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, April 22. Notably, this was the fifth time in 14 deliveries in T20s that Starc had dismissed the left-handed attacking batter.

Starc rolled his fingers over the ball. The delivery seemed to have gripped in the surface before Pooran inside-edged the delivery onto his stumps. Starc was understandably pumped up after getting rid of the West Indian southpaw. Starc roared in delight and punched the air in exhilaration.

Watch the video below:

Pooran was the second wicket to fall for LSG. Starc ended up conceding only one run in that over. Abdul Samad was promoted up the order at No. 4. Dushmantha Chameera, who was brought in for Mohit Sharma, provided the first breakthrough for DC of the game by dismissing Aiden Markram for a 33-ball 52-run knock.

DC won the toss and elected to field first. They got to 51 for the loss of no wickets inside their powerplay. Markram top-scored for LSG in back-to-back games. His opening partner, Mitchell Marsh (45 off 36), was the second-highest scorer for the hosts in the first innings.

Coming in as an Impact Player, Ayush Badoni contributed 36 runs off 21 deliveries to the 159-run total they ended up posting after their allotted quota of 20 overs. In the 15 balls which David Miller faced, he could muster only 14 runs. Skipper, Rishabh Pant, coming out to bat in the final over of the innings, was dismissed on a two-ball duck.
