India Today
LSG vs DC: Delhi Capitals pacer Anrich Nortje was taken out of the attack after having a far from impressive return with the ball in the 15th match of IPL 2022.
Delhi Capitals pacer Anrich Nortje had a forgettable end to his forgettable night in DC colours as the South Africa star was taken out of the attack for bowling two beamers against Lucknow Super Giants in Mumbai on Wednesday. Kuldeep Yadav was asked to complete the 16th over and the DC spinner returned with the big wicket of Quinton de Kock after getting hit for two boundaries in the same over.
Nortje had leaked 19 runs in his first over after being taken to the cleaners by his compatriot who scored a fantastic 80 off 52 deliveries to help LSG cruise in the 150-run chase.

Earlier, Delhi Capitals managed to post 149 on board after Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul opted to bowl first in the 15th game of the IPL 2022.Shaw's 61 off 34 balls was all class before Lucknow Super Giants bounced back in the game with an impressive bowling performance. Young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi (2/22) was the standout performer for the new IPL entrants.
David Warner (4 off 12), returning to the franchise where he made his IPL debut back in 2009, struggled in his first innings of the season.
The southpaw was a mere spectator at the other end, witnessing Shaw's brutal assault on the opposition. Off-spinner K Gowtham (1/23) was given the ball in the second over and Shaw did not let him settle, dispatching a full ball over cover for his first four of the innings.
The onus was on skipper Rishabh Pant (39 not out off 36) to take the team to a respectable total and he did that in the company of Sarfaraz Khan (36 not out off 28) who was playing his debut game for the franchise.
