After scoring just one run in the first five ball of the opening over, Marsh took strike to face his first ball of the innings. Starc, erred his length and saw his teammate play an amazing flick shot that carried over the deep square leg region for a huge six. It was a great start to his LSG career for Marsh after being released by DC at the end of the previous season. 

Axar Patel, making his IPL captaincy won the toss and put Lucknow into bat. KL Rahul wasn’t part of the Delhi side because he is set to welcome his first child and is currently in Mumbai with his wife. Mitchell Starc, was part of Kolkata Knight Riders last season is also making his debut for a new side in the IPL. 

Lucknow Super Giants' terrific start with the bat 

The first two overs of the game saw just 12 runs being scored as LSG openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram took time to settle down. Skipper Axar Patel bowling the second over conceded just five runs after Starc’s opening over had gone for seven runs. Carnage began in the third over as Starc was hit for 21 runs to set the wheels in motion for Lucknow. 

In the first ball of the third over, Markram made room and hit Starc over the long off region for a huge six. Mitchell Marsh then took strike in the third ball and promptly hit his Australian teammate for a boundary. This was followed by a six just like the shot he had played in the previous. The fifth ball of the over yielded yet another four as Marsh moved to 20 off just eight balls. 

Debutant Vipraj Nigam then gave Delhi Capitals their first wicket when he dismissed Markram for 15 runs. The South African batter went for a huge hit and didn’t time the ball well and was caught by Starc who was stationed at long-off. At the end of the six overs, Lucknow had reached 64 runs for the loss of one wicket with Marsh leading the way with the bat.
