Lucknow
Delhi Capitals’ bowling unit will have to punch above its weight against an in-form Lucknow Super Giants, who will start as overwhelming favourites in an Indian Premier League match today. LSG, who sit on the third spot on the points table, seem to have all their bases covered even though rookie pacer Mayank Yadav, who bowls thunderbolts in excess of 150 kmph, is likely to miss the match because of an abdominal niggle.
DC has struggled to find the silver lining in their 2024 campaign barring skipper Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubb’s form. The main issue is the team’s lack of depth in Indian talent on the bench. This deficiency does not instil confidence in the team. The Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals Match will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow today, at 7:30 pm.
