DC have many worries ahead of their game against LSG. Their key bowler, Kuldeep Yadav, got injured and is not likely to play the rest of the tournament. His absence will hurt the 2020 finalists, as they have a problem in the bowling unit. Some of the best bowlers in the world, like Anrich Nortje and Ishant Sharma, are getting hammered. Nortje's lack of accuracy has cost them many matches. Some of the key batters in their lineup have been out of form.

LSG are placed better in the points table. With a total of three wins from their four games, LSG have a total of six points and a net run rate of +0.775 in the league so far. It has helped them to be in the third position in the points table. On the other hand, nothing seems to be working for DC, who are placed in the last spot in the points table. They have just one win and four losses to their name in five matches. With a total of two points and a net run rate of -1.370, they are placed last in the points table.

Pitch Report

The match between DC and LSG is set to take place at Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The wicket at the venue is usually on the slower side barring the first few games of a league. Hence, one can expect a bowler-friendly wicket. Batters need to farm strike and hit odd boundaries. Dew might not be a factor. Toss might not be a big factor, either. Express pacers might be effective in the venue.

KL Rahul LSG | BAT

KL Rahul has not been able to fire with the bat in the last couple of games. However, given the class of the batter, one can expect him to come good in the game against DC. The home conditions might help him to score runs.

Nicholas Pooran LSG | WK

Nicholas Pooran has been in sensational form in the ongoing season. The star batter has performed well in every match so far and is likely to step up in the upcoming game too. He is an exceptional fielder as well.

8.5

Quinton de Kock LSG | WK

Quinton De Kock has been in good form in the ongoing season. The South African has been good with the bat and as a keeper. The Southpaw can anchor the innings and go bonkers at the top. He is a safe keeper and can take brilliant catches.

Kumar Kushagra

DC | BAT

Kumar Kushagra was sold for a huge sum in the IPL auction in 2024. He will be under a bit of pressure due to the price tag. Given the situation of DC in the league, he might be scrutinized if they lose against LSG.
