Lucknow Super Giants (Match Odds- 1.70)
Preview
They enter this match with the goal of winning four straight in the competition after defeating the Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They are the strong favourites in the game.
The middle order of Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, and Ayush Badoni built on KL Rahul’s strong start at the top of the order to lead the team to 163/5, and it was a 33-run victory over the Titans here in Lucknow in the previous game.
When it came to the ball, Yash Thakur was the star, taking five wickets, but Krunal Pandya deserves praise as well, taking three wickets in four overs. Pandya is in great shape and can be the game-changer.
Full Squad:
Players to watch out for in:
KL Rahul
KL Rahul’s strong start at the top of the order is helping the team build or chase high scores. He is the pillar of the team and will be the player to watch out for.
Yash Thakur
When it came to the ball, Yash Thakur was the star in the last game. He took five wickets and had the best bowling figure of the season till now.
Possible Playing XI:
Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (c) (wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mayank Yadav
Delhi Capitals (Match Odds- 2.15)
Preview
While Lucknow appears to be moving smoothly, the Delhi Capitals are having the opposite effect and have only managed one victory thus far in the competition. Their bowling attack, which has given up over 500 runs in their previous two innings with the ball, is quite concerning. Anrich Nortje, a South African pacer has taken five wickets while also giving up 124 runs! Lizaad Williams has now joined him in the squad, taking Harry Brook’s position.
The Delhi Capitals have some batting experience for a team towards the bottom of the standings, so the team management probably wants them to keep making shots. In the Mumbai Indians’ loss, this strategy produced 66 from Prithvi Shaw, 41 from Abishek Porel, and 71 not out from Tristan Stubbs.
Full Squad:
Players to watch out for in:
Tristan Stubbs
Tristan Stubbs was not out in the last match and scored 71 runs. He is the highest run-scorer for Delhi 174 runs in 5 innings.
Khaleel Ahmed
Khaleel is the best bowler in the team right now. He will play a important part in Delhi’s race in IPL.
Possible Playing XI:
Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, Rishabh Pant (c) (wk), Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Kumar Kushagra, Jhye Richardson, Anrich Nortje

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals Pitch Report:
This Friday night in the IPL promises to be another warm one! In contrast to the match on Wednesday in Jaipur, there shouldn’t be any small rain delays, and because the humidity is predicted to peak at about 30%, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals Match Report:
The Delhi Capitals certainly have some fantastic players in their lineup, with Tristan Stubbs standing out in particular thus far in this competition, but the truth is that their bowling attack lacks confidence, which allows opposing batters to take advantage of them. The hitters on the Lucknow Super Giants don’t need another invitation to intimidate a bowling attack, and we predict that Lucknow will win again at home to make it four straight.
We predict Lucknow Super Giants to win the Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals match at the odds of 1.70
Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals Most Recommended Player for Bet:
