After winning the toss, the KL Rahul-led side decided to bat first. This was one of the few instances in this edition where the team that won the toss decided to field second. Lucknow had a good start as their openers got them to a good start.

Quinton de Kock was dismissed after scoring 23 runs from 13 balls. Post which, Deepak Hooda and his skipper Rahul came together to put on a comprehensive partnership. While the opener played it safe, Hooda was the aggressor. The 27-year-old played a marvellous knock as he scored 52 runs from just 34 balls.

His matured knock propelled the Lucknow-based franchise to 195-3 in their stipulated 20 overs. As for Delhi's bowlers, none of them were able to contain the flow of runs other than Axar Patel.

As for the second innings, the Delhi-based franchise lost their openers rather quickly. Mitchell Marsh then struck a few eye-catching shots before unfortunately being dismissed. He looked good and was all set to get to a big score. However, an umpiring error meant that he had to depart in the eighth over. Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell hit some lusty blows before Delhi's skipper was dismissed for a 30-ball 44. The Windies batter threatened to take the game away from Lucknow. However, Mohsin Khan got the better of him as he took his wicket.
