IPL 2022 Points table, Orange & Purple Cap: LSG take 2nd spot; De Kock, Rahul, Hooda enter top-5 in run-scoring list
With the win, LSG took the second spot in the points table while three Lucknow players made significant jumps in the Orange and Purple Cap list.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat Delhi Capitals (DC) on Thursday in match number 15 of the ongoing 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. LSG never faced the scoreboard pressure after restricting Rishabh Pant's side for just 149 for three yet two brilliant overs in the death - from Mustafizur Rahman and Shardul Thakur - that helped DC bounce back in the game. However, Krunal Pandya held his nerves in the penultimate over, against the Bangladesh pacer, to unleash a six over long-on before young Ayush Badoni finished it off in style with a four and a six to wrap up the run chase with two balls to spare.
With the win, LSG took the second spot in the points table while three Lucknow players made significant jumps in the Orange and Purple Cap list.
Here's how the points table looks like after DC vs LSG game...
