However, a flurry of wickets helped Delhi make a comeback in the game. De Kock kept batting calmly before Badoni came and whacked one four and a six to help Lucknow seal the match.
Lucknow have won three matches out of four and are now placed in second spot on the IPL points table. Lucknow Super Giants will now face Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.
