Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals will meet Kl Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants on the 26 the Match of IPL 2024 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on 12th April, Friday. So far, in the IPL 2024, apart from the comeback of Rishabh Pant, nothing has gone well for them in the tournament. Their team selection wasn’t up to par and they faced some injury issues in the starting part of the tournament.
LSG vs DC Match Preview:
While they didn’t select the young opener Prithvi Shaw in their first few games which isn’t justified either. And they lost fast bowler Mukesh Kumar due to an injury, which further weakened their bowling. This LSG vs DC match won’t give that much excitement as DC is already placed at the bottom of the points table, with just a solitary win in their 5 games of IPL 2024. LSG, on the other hand, came back strongly after their first defeat against Rajasthan and won 3 out of 4 games this season of IPL.
The winning streak of LSG can be a worry for DC as they won both games at their home ground, Ekana Stadium. Though their captain KL Rahul yet to fire this season, still their batting looks very strong. With the likes of in-form QDK on the top and power hitters like Nicholas Pooran at the lower order, they have enough firepower to over DC’s bowling prowess. Though the bowling of LSG wasn’t good enough, especially Krunal Pandya who is still looking for his form, the team performed well with the name of Mayank Yadav for his pace.
The Ekana stadium pitch has preferably assisted the bowlers, particularly the pacers. This will surely give relief to the DC camp as well, given the kind of bowling attack that they possess. Also, some free stroke makers on both sides aren’t quite in form yet, so this game could allow them to make a statement.
