IPL 2023 Day 34

LSG v CSK & PBKS v MI

Hello and welcome to today’s newsletter.

Best DC win imo in this season, restricted GT to 125 only when Pandya was on crease and won the match. GT got humbled last night.

Also big blow to LSG as KL Rahul has been ruled out for rest of season due to injury last match.

Last Matches Summary

Match 44 - Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals

A strange loss by GT, Pandya not out at 59 but still couldn’t chase 130. As Pandya acknowledged post-match, taking up all the blame for the loss, and frankly he should have taken some risks and tried bit hard to score boundaries.

But kudos to DC bowlers, everyone was fantastic today (except Nortje’s 19th over) and restricted GT to 125 only with Pandya on crease.

Brief Score: Delhi Capitals 130/8 (Aman Khan 51, Axar 27; Shami 4/11) beat Gujarat Titans 125/6 (Hardik Pandya 59*, Abhinav Manohar 26; Ishant Sharma 2/23, Karn Sharma 2/20) by 5 runs

Player of the Match: Mohammed Shami

Today’s Match Preview

Match 45 - Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings

Rahul’s injury scene is not clear and most likely he would be unavailable. Expect an Indian batter to replace Rahul to maintain same team structure.

CSK are coming off back to back losses and are 04th on points table, while LSG are 3rd by virtue of better NRR.
