Lucknow Super Giants will take on Delhi Capitals in the 15th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai on Thursday.
The KL Rahul-led team has made a decent start as they have won their last two matches after losing the opening match against Gujarat Titans.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals made a winning start to their campaign as they won against Mumbai Indians but went on to lose against Gujarat Titans in their last match.
We take a look at Picks for the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.
LSG is coming up with collective efforts as the young players are putting their hands up at the crucial stages of the match. Ayush Badoni, Deepak Hooda, Evin Lewis, and Avesh Khan have done a perfect job for the new franchise whereas KL Rahul has also grown in confidence as a leader.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals could not get over the line against Gujarat Titans despite being ahead in the game at one stage. The Capitals need to come up with better performances, especially with the bat at the top of the order as Prithvi Shaw, Tim Seifert, and Mandeep Singh have failed to deliver for the team.
DC head coach Ricky Ponting was hopeful of David Warner and Anrich Nortje’s availability for the match against LSG and it will be interesting whether these two will make the cut into the final XI.
