Reliving Mark Wood's brilliant five-fer in LSG vs DC IPL 2023 clash
One of the standout performances in LSG vs DC matches came when Lucknow fast bowler Mark Wood ran through Delhi Capitals' batting line-up with figures of 5-14 in IPL 2023 in Lucknow.
DC won the toss and elected to field first in the game. LSG put up 193-6, with Kyle Mayers starring with 73 off 38. In their chase, Delhi were held to 143-9, woth Wood coming up with an exceptional spell of fast bowling.
Wood knocked over Prithvi Shaw for 12 with a 147 kph delivery that landed on a good length and angled in from wide of the crease. Shaw's foot went nowhere as his stumps were rattled.
The Lucknow Super Giants pacer had two in two when Mitchell Marsh (0) attempted an expansive drive but was cleaned through the gate, completely beaten by the inward movement.
Next, Sarfaraz Khan (4) got himself into a complete tangle against a short ball and ended up playing an ungainly ramp. The ball somehow went towards deep fine leg, where the fielder took an easy catch.
Wood returned in the last over to complete a well-deserved five-wicket haul.
Axar Patel (16) flicked a leg stump half-volley straight to the fielder at deep square leg. Chetan Sakariya (4) then miscued a length ball outside off stump and chipped a simple catch to Krunal Pandya at short midwicket.
