Quietly murmuring, it can be noted that KL Rahul's team is performing admirably as they aim for their fourth consecutive victory in the tournament. They have previously defeated Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Punjab Kings. In their last match in Lucknow, they secured a 33-run victory against the Titans, with Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, and Ayush Badoni contributing significantly in the middle order after a strong start by KL Rahul at the top, resulting in a total score of 163/5. Yash Thakur played a crucial role with a five-wicket haul, while Krunal Pandya's impressive performance of 3/11 in four overs cannot be overlooked. Both bowlers are looking forward to showcasing their skills once again at this venue.
Lucknow Super Giants Predicted Lineup
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 form
While Lucknow appears to be performing well, Delhi Capitals are struggling with only one win in the tournament so far. Their bowling attack is a major concern as they have given away over 500 runs in their last two games, with Anrich Nortje being the main culprit by taking five wickets but also conceding 124 runs. Lizaad Williams has now replaced Harry Brook in the squad. Despite being at the bottom of the table, Delhi Capitals have strong batting skills and the team management is likely to encourage them to continue playing aggressively. In a recent match against Mumbai Indians, Prithvi Shaw scored 66, Abishek Porel scored 41, and Tristan Stubbs remained not out with 71 runs.
Delhi Capitals Predicted Lineup
Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, Rishabh Pant (c) (wk), Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Kumar Kushagra, Jhye Richardson, Anrich Nortje
