Both teams would be looking forward to the match, which would be crucial in the context of the tournament. LSG has been on a roll in the last few games, managing to claim a hat-trick of wins. They seem to have a balanced team, and the young bowlers are carrying their bowling lineup. With the bat, the overseas batters have been doing good for the Lucknow-based franchise.

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.

Player Picks

C

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.

9
C

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
C

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.

9

Rishabh Pant DC | WK

Rishabh Pant has returned to form in the IPL. The star batter has 2 fifties in the last 3 matches and is looking in good touch. He seems to have gained his confidence back, which is good news for DC. Even as a keeper, he is doing well.

9

David Warner DC | BAT

David Warner could not bat well in the last 2 games. The star batter would be looking forward to the game against LSG to return to form. He will be crucial for the success of his side, as DC's batting revolves around his anchoring.

8.5

Tristan Stubbs DC | BAT

Tristan Stubbs has been in brilliant form in the last few games. The star batter has been one of the best finishers in the ongoing season and has a brilliant strike rate even in the middle overs. If required, he can keep the wickets as well.

5

Abishek Porel DC | BAT

Abishek Porel has been good for DC in the ongoing season. The youngster can bat anywhere from number 3 to number 7. But it looks like finishing is his best suite. If DC can use him well, Porel can play blinders as a batter.

6.5

Lalit Yadav DC | ALL

Lalit Yadav is a handy player. With the ball he can be economical and can take wickets if the batters target him. With the bat, he can come lower down the order and play cameos. If required, he can anchor the innings as well.

6.5

Manimaran Siddharth LSG | BOWL

Manimaran Siddharth is good with the new ball. He can dismiss the best batters in the world to give his side a good start. He got rid of Virat Kohli in the game against RCB. Against DC, he will be important for LSG in the Powerplay overs.

8.5

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.

8

Mayank Yadav

LSG | BOWL

Mayank Yadav got injured while bowling against GT. The young pacer might not feature in the XI against DC. Hence, it is better to avoid him. Even if he plays, his performance would be dependent on his match fitness.

8

Mitchell Marsh

DC | ALL

Mitchell Marsh got injured during the game against MI. The star player is unavailable for the game against LSG. It is better to not pick him in the fantasy team.
