India Today
Prithvi Shaw has been reprimanded and fined 25 percent of his match-fee for breaching the Indian Premier League's (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team's match against Lucknow Super Giants at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw has been reprimanded and fined 25 percent of his match fee for breaching the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team's defeat to Lucknow Super Giants at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Shaw admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the match referee's decision is final and binding.
Coming to the match, Mohsin Khan put up an exceptional bowling performance as Lucknow Super Giants beat Delhi Capitals by six runs on Sunday, thereby taking a giant stride towards qualifying for the IPL play-offs.
It was skipper KL Rahul's 77 off 51 balls and newly promoted Deepak Hooda's 52 off 34 balls that propelled LSG to an imposing 195 for 3 despite stuttering towards the end of the innings.
LSG now have 14 points from 10 games and another win out of the remaining four games would seal a play-off spot for them, considering 16 is the magic number in most years.
For DC, things get really tough from hereon as 8 points from nine games mean that they might have to win four out of their remaining five games, which looks to be an uphill task with this bowling attack which has been defensive on most occasions.
