IPL 2023: England's Mark Wood takes five wickets as Lucknow Super Giants win
Lucknow Super Giants 193-6 (20 overs): Mayers 73; Khaleel 2-30Delhi Capitals 143-9 (20 overs): Warner 56; Wood 5-14
Wood, out of the IPL since 2018, claimed 5-14 - best numbers ever for an Englishman in the tournament.
Earlier, West Indies batsman Kyle Mayers hit 73 of 38 balls during of his IPL debut as Lucknow did 193-6.
Delhi was then limited to 143-9 with Australian David Warner hitting 56 and Rilee Rossouw adding 30.
In his first on Wood , he retired fly-half Prithvi Shaw and then Mitchell Marsh in back-to-back balls but Sarfaraz Khan prevented the hat-trick.
Sarfaraz would later fall to Wood, who also fired Axar Patel and Chetan Sakariya.
Wood now has the eighth-best bowling figure in men's IPL history, while the previous best by an Englishman was former England all-rounder Dimitri Mascarenhas' 5-25 for Kings XI Punjab in 2012.
"Last time I was here I played for CSK and it didn't go so well so I wanted to try and make an impact this time around," Wood said.< /p>
"I'm glad it went well."
Captain KL Rahul added, "It was Woody's day today. Always a dream for a fast bowler.
"When someone is doing well and has that kind of performance, it has a huge impact on the team and on the outcome of the game. It was Woody's day and he made it count."
Elsewhere , England all-rounder Sam Curran, the most expensive player in the competition's 16-year history, went an unbeaten 26 as the Punjab Kings went 191-5.
They then limited two-time champions Kolkata to 146-7 from 16 overs when rain stopped play with Punjab winning by seven runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
