LSG vs DC Preview: Lucknow Super Giants are set to clash against Delhi Capitals in the 26th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Friday. Lucknow enter the game with three successive wins and are clear favourites against bottom-placed Delhi Capitals.
KL Rahul's LSG started the season with a heavy loss against Rajasthan Royals but made a strong comeback. Lucknow registered a huge 33-run win while defending 163 against Gujarat Titans in their last game at Ekana Cricket Stadium after impressive bowling from Yash Thakur and Krunal Pandya.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals defeated defending champions Chennai Super Kings but that was their only win in five games in the IPL 2024. Rishabh Pant-led Delhi suffered a 29-run defeat while chasing a big target of 235 against Mumbai Indians in their last game.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants are expected to miss the rising speedster Mayank Yadav as he walked out after bowling one over against Gujarat due to a soreness in the lower abdominal area. Delhi Capitals are expected to field the same playing eleven as Mitchell Marsh is unlikely to recover from his hamstring injury on time.
