Lucknow Super Giants will take on Delhi Capitals at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow in the 26th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Friday. In the three matches between these two teams, LSG has a 100% winning record against DC.
Ergo, DC will be seeking their maiden win against LSG and they need the win when they are at their most desperate as they have managed a solitary win in five matches they have played. DC are currently at the bottom of the points table and they will need to turn the tables sooner than later.
LSG must have had their heart in their mouth as Mayank Yadav walked off the field due to abdominal soreness in the last game against GT. LSG might want to wrap Yadav in a safe case and make the most of him in IPL 2024.
Stats Preview:
Devdutt Padikkal needs eight sixes to complete 50 sixes in the IPL.
