Each team has now played a game and there are some early impressions to be made. Tonight was about bowling units, same might apply tomorrow for SRH vs KKR. Join us then, thanks for coming on today. Goodnight.

Sameer Rizvi, POTM During practice sessions and matches, I was told I'll bat at 4 and was given a lot of support by the coaches. Playing at home, you know the conditions and that helped as my state league takes place here. I wanted to be positive in the powerplay but two wickets fell and the situation changed, Stubbs said respect the conditions. Once we were set, we knew we could play our natural game. It's not that I started hitting after getting to fifty. I wanted to take on bad balls, if I got it I'd hit it to the boundary.

Axar Patel, DC captain Game finished early, got close in the middle. The new ball was doing a bit, our chat was about a big partnership and we finished well. Happy with bowling. We knew it swung and seamed at the start. We told that to all new bowlers and they did well. There's a big boundary and I felt since the pitch was assisting pacers, I'd bowl them over me. Plan was to bring in Rizvi early. Ashutosh Sharma was also an option if the innings started well. Last year, Ashu proved himself first game and this time Rizvi. He's been excellent at practice, glad he pulled it off tonight.

Tristan Stubbs I wasn't fully padded up, had to go straight in. Was simple what we needed, bat time and build a partnership. Rizvi was brilliant. You're always looking to score but the situation tells you what to do. It was doing a bit, swung for long and seamed. We kept saying keep batting normally and look to score. Rizvi takes on spin naturally, makes my job easier. We knew it was one big over and it's run a ball. (Chat at the start of Shahbaz's over) Let's see if it's spinning and the first three balls went for 12, wasn't the plan to take him on but it worked out. I like No 6, you bat at different situations and try to take the team over the line.

Rishabh Pant, LSG captain Best way to recover from my dismissal is to ignore it as you can't control it. The way we batted, we couldn't get a partnership for long. The plan was for Pooran to take on the middle overs from No. 5. We had to get someone who could add a few runs as the impact player because we didn't have enough, on a good pitch. e had a role defined for Badoni, when we lose early wickets, that's the time he can make a mark. We wanted to explore left-right at the top as to stop them from bowling from the left-arm spinner. There was enough help with the new ball. But you can't put pressure on the opposition with 140. 20 extras hurt, at the same time, you try too much on a wicket like this and are trying to restrict them under 140. 50-50 call, but definitely we'll see me in the top order.

Jim: "Too many games decided by the toss. The toss-losing side needs to be given an advantage of some sort. "

Sidd: "Who's this player extras? Did his job today. "

11:02pm A definitive partnership clears the game for DC but it was anything but an easy chase given they were 26 for 4. The ball offered seam, extra bounce or swing for a long time and LSG's pacers exploited it nicely. Prince Yadav, in particular, who got Axar with a brilliant inswinger and Nissanka who looked to slog. LSG had to bring the fifth bowler at some point, and once they brought in Shahbaz - who they subbed in instead of Digvesh Rathi due to LSG's batting not clicking - and that was when Rizvi broke free.

Samad to bowl the final over

John wright: "Another toss winning and chasing team winning the match. Need a change in next games."
