LSG vs DC, 45th Match at Mumbai, IPL, May 01 2022 - Match Result

full-toss, about stump-high, angling away from off stump, and Axar swats it for an effortless six over long-on. Shows how good these players are when the bowlers err even slightly, but Stoinis kept things together for most of that over

handsomely driven, all along the ground, to long-off, who's stationed very straight. And that's the match, pretty much. Full again on off stump, too full to get under

slower ball, full and wide of off stump, drags an attempted slog-sweep to long-on, all along the ground, and he refuses the single

not quite an off-stump yorker, but full enough to deny Axar elevation. Drilled straight back to the bowler on the bounce

in the blockhole outside off, stabbed away to deep point

looks for the wide yorker, slanting across from over the wicket, and he goes past the tramline. Juuust missed is line there

short, angling away from off stump to try and force Kuldeep to hit towards the longer boundary, but he steps across and pulls, and gets enough bat on it to clear the square leg boundary. What a hit!

bad ball to end the over. Ends up offering a half-volley at the pads, and Axar flicks it effortlessly and clears the short boundary at backward square leg

looks to make room and Chameera follows him with a full ball at his feet. Whipped to deep midwicket

shot. Slower ball, legcutter, just back of a length on middle stump, and he clears his front leg and swats it away into the gap between deep midwicket and deep backward square leg

stump-high length ball on off stump, drags a whip-pull to the left of deep square leg. Bishnoi's been a busy man today

misses the yorker on line, ends up angling down leg, and Axar clips it smartly, forcing Bishnoi into a sprint and tumble to his left at deep square leg

back of a length, on the stumps, denying the room that Kuldeep is trying to create. Flat-batted to long-off

looks for the yorker, ends up on Axar's pads, and he clips it away to find the backward square leg boundary

slower length ball angled into a wide-ish line. Gets forward and flat-bats to the left of long-off. They look for a desperate second, because Hooda got to the ball very quickly, and get it because Holder fumbles the throw, which, to be fair to him, was wide of the stumps

appeal for lbw as Axar misses a thigh-high full-toss while looking to pull. He's down in pain, and LSG have reviewed... It's hit the top of his left thigh pad, and the ball was on its way down. It's hit him in line with off stump or thereabouts, but the angle from right-arm over is taking the ball past off stump, so LSG lose their review

slower ball wide of off stump, back of a length, slapped to deep point

difficult chance, and Holder can't quite make it. Back of a length offcutter, finishing outside off. Looks to pull, top-edges it high over the wide mid-off region. No one there, and Holder turns in his follow-through to try and complete the catch himself, but he can't quite make it even with a big dive

full, angling across Axar, who plays a front-foot swipe down towards long-on, and Kuldeep turns quickly to run towards the danger end and enables Axar to take the second and regain strike

slower ball outside off, looks to slog-sweep, and drags it behind square off the inside half of the bat
