The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) return to their home ground today as they host the Delhi Capitals (DC) for the 40th match of this IPL season. While LSG are coming in with great form after a win in their last match, DC suffered a setback, losing to the Gujarat Titans (GT). LSG skipper Rishabh Pant’s form has been a major concern for the visitors. KL Rahul, on the other hand, has been in commendable form and will look to score big against his former team.
Pitch Report
The red soil pitch hasn’t suited the home team, with LSG losing both matches played here. Today’s match will be played on the same surface, but whether LSG can turn their luck around remains to be seen.
Head-to-Head
A total of six matches have been played between the two teams, with both tied at 3-3. Today’s result will determine who takes the lead.
Top Three Fantasy Picks
Aiden Markram (LSG)
First with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and now with LSG, Markram’s batting has been a stand out in the last few games. His knock of 66 runs in the last match were instrumental in securing a win for the team.
Avesh Khan (LSG)
His 3/37 spell in the last match against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) was impressive. Avesh Khan’s presence in the bowling lineup has been crucial in several of LSG’s victories.
Kuldeep Yadav (DC)
With 12 wickets this season, Kuldeep ranks No. 2 on the Purple Cap leaderboard. The left-arm wrist spinner has been a standout performer for DC this season, alongside Aussies Mitchell Starc and Vipraj Nigam.
Fantasy XI
Axar Patel (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Aiden Markram, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, Shardul Thakur, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi, KL Rahul (VC).
