Apart from that second over, @Delhi Capitals did not go anywhere with their chase. Very important innings from Warner.

great win for @LucknowIPL The key moment was Meyer’s dropped catch. Delhi had taken control of the match in the powerplay and that catch would have made Lucknow very difficult. How one mistake can change the game! And then back to back gems from Mark Wood! @RevSportz #LSGvsDC
