Preview

The Lucknow Super Giants will return to the comforts of their home turf as the side is all set to turn their fortunes around against the Delhi Capitals in Match 40 of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on Tuesday, April 22, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Rishabh Pant and his men head into this clash after a nervy two-run win over the Rajasthan Royals in their recent outing. They will be looking to dominate this game and continue their march to the playoffs.

Despite that stellar win over the inaugural IPL champions in their recent clash, skipper Rishabh Pant's form has been a major concern. The Indian dasher has managed just 106 runs in eight matches, although his only fifty in this edition came at the Ekana Ground. Thus, it remains to be seen whether the left-handed batter can replicate that performance in this game.

On the flip side, the Delhi Capitals began their campaign by winning four matches in a row. However, the side has lost two of their last three matches. Axar Patel and his men struggled against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad in their last game, but they will need to put in the hard yards against the hosts this time.

Among all this, the cricket fraternity will always remember how Delhi Capitals pulled off a one-wicket win against LSG, thanks to Ashutosh Sharma's heroics, when the two sides faced each other earlier in the league in Vizag.
