LSG vs DC Preview

Lucknow Super Giants are having a fantastic tournament, winning three of their four games. They are on a three-match winning streak, and their bowling unit has been sensational this season. LSG will want the likes of Devdutt Padikkal and KL Rahul to step up with the bat as they seek to continue their winning momentum. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are having a poor run, losing four of their five games. The team’s batting lineup, led by David Warner and Rishabh Pant, has shown flashes of brilliance, but the lack of consistency has hampered their progress. While Anrich Nortje and Ishant Sharma have been ineffective with the ball, it has led the team to flourish last in the points table.

Ekana Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium is expected to be good for batting, with an average first-inning score of 166. Batting first would be a wise decision as the stats suggest. Slow bowlers will get ample help from the surface, and batters need to spend some time at the crease before trying their shots.
