[Watch]: Scary Starc Uproots Pooran and Bishnoi’s Stumps against LSG

The IPL 2025 season continues to thrill fans, and the latest clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was no exception. LSG set the stage on fire with a commanding total of 209/8, thanks to Nicholas Pooran’s stunning 75 off just 30 balls. Mitchell Marsh provided the perfect foundation with a blistering 72 off 36, while David Miller played a crucial finishing role. Despite Mitchell Starc’s impressive spell of 3/42, DC bowlers struggled to contain the run flow.

LSG Dominating performance

Mitchell Marsh started the fireworks for LSG, hammering six fours and six sixes. His aggressive approach put DC’s bowling attack on the back foot right from the powerplay. Pooran’s knock was nothing short of a batting masterclass. Smashing seven sixes and six fours at a strike rate of 250, he kept the scoreboard ticking at an electrifying pace. Adding valuable runs at the death, Miller’s unbeaten 27 off 19 ensured that LSG crossed the 200-run mark, setting a formidable total for DC to chase.

Mitchell Starc’s Impactful Spell

While Starc managed three wickets, the rest of the DC bowling unit had a forgettable outing. With little support from the pitch, LSG batters dominated the attack. Starc produced a lethal yorker to castle Ravi Bishnoi, marking his third wicket of the match. His fiery spell kept LSG’s lower order in check. A well-directed 141kph bouncer from Starc forced Shahbaz into a mistimed pull, leading to an easy catch. His dismissal further dented LSG’s momentum.

Pooran’s Dismissal: A Turning Point?

Pooran’s departure at 170/4 in the 15th over gave DC a much-needed breakthrough. Starc’s precision disrupted LSG’s explosive batting rhythm. In the 15th over of Lucknow Super Giants’ innings, Mitchell Starc returned to the attack with a blazing 140 kmph delivery aimed at the stumps. The ball seamed in sharply after pitching, leaving Nicholas Pooran, who attempted a slog across the line, completely beaten. The delivery crashed into the stumps, sending them cartwheeling and electrifying the crowd.

Starc celebrated the crucial wicket with intensity, putting an end to Pooran’s dominant innings that had been a nightmare for the Delhi Capitals bowlers.

Starc’s Lethal Yorker Castles Bishnoi

Attempting to create room and guide the ball to the off-side, Bishnoi was completely outclassed as the delivery crashed into middle and off stump. Bishnoi’s dismissal for a two-ball duck marked Starc’s third wicket of the match, delivering a major blow to LSG’s innings.

The Australian pacer’s fiery spell, aided by the pitch’s assistance, continued to trouble the lower order, strengthening DC’s grip on the game. Despite losing wickets in the final overs, LSG posted a strong total of 209/8, a score that put pressure on DC’s chase.
