Delhi Capitals (DC) had to face defeat once again in the IPL. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated DC by 6 wickets in the last over in the match on Thursday. This is Delhi's second defeat in three matches played this season. In the match, Delhi had started well due to the quick innings of Prithvi Shaw but he could not carry this start further. In the entire match, the team of Lucknow was seen dominating Delhi. Why did this happen and how did Delhi lose this match, understand in 5 points...

1. Prithvi Shaw's 61 off 34 balls gave Delhi a quick start. But apart from him, none of the Delhi batsmen could score runs in a quick manner. The condition was that in the partnership of 67 runs for the first wicket, 61 runs were from Prithvi. After his dismissal, the pace of the run slowed down completely. David Warner and Rovman Powell played more balls and scored less runs. Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan also could not score runs fast.

2. LSG fast bowlers Avesh Khan and Jason Holder bowled very well in the last three overs of Delhi's innings. In these three overs, only 19 runs could come i.e. runs came in the last over at the rate of 6 runs per over. Due to this, the Delhi team could not score a good score as expected. Had 15 to 20 more runs come here, the match could have turned upside down.

3. Chasing a small target, the Lucknow openers made a very strong start. De Kock and KL Rahul shared a 73-run partnership for the first wicket. After this partnership, the goal became very easy.

4. Enrique Norte, the lead bowler of Delhi's team, made a comeback from this match but he was heavily beaten. He looted 35 runs in 2.2 overs. He proved to be the most expensive bowler.

5. The toss has been a big factor in the matches being held in Mumbai. Here the team winning the toss is choosing to bowl first as they have to face problems due to dew in bowling later. Although there was not that much dew in this match, Delhi had to bat first after losing the toss.
