Devdutt Padikkal (3), Marcus Stoinis (8) and Nicholas Pooran (0) all fell in quick succession to put Lucknow in trouble. It needed a fine hand from Ayush Badoni (55* off 35) and some support from Arshad Khan (20* off 16) to push Lucknow Super Giants past the 165-run mark.
The total wasn't enough, though, as Delhi Capitals cruised to victory in 18.1 overs, ending their three-match winning streak in IPL 2024.
