Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be aiming for the second spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) when they take on Delhi Capitals (DC) on Tuesday evening. This match will be played at the Ekana Cricket Ground in Lucknow.
Rishabh Pant might be struggling for form but his captaincy is helping team win matches. At the moment, the Lucknow outfit is sitting fifth on the IPL 2025 table having won five times in the first 8 matches. But the bigger picture is that they are outside the top four because of the inferior net run-rate, which means, a win here for the home team could see them finish this round at the top.
For DC, the season has been almost perfect. They are on course to play in the playoffs, with the team on 10 points in only seven matches. But Axar Patel’s team has lost twice in the last three matches. That means, DC has some issue they need to address before this game.
