LSG vs DC, the 15th match of the tournament, will be played at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai from 7:30 PM IST on 7th April 2022.
Team Updates:
Lucknow Super Giants are running on a thin line in the tournament and have somehow managed to win 2 out of the 3 matches they have played. Giants as a batting unit are becoming reliable for the bowlers. Ayush Badoni and Deepak Hooda have provided a safe cover in the middle overs, while KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock are playing well at the top. However, Manish Pandey at number 4 is starting to become a worry for LSG. Pandey has yet to realize his potential in Tata IPL 2022.
Lucknow Super Giants bowled well against Sunrisers Hyderabad but barring Avesh Khan, none of the other bowlers has shown impeccable control on the deliveries. Andrew Tye and Dushmantha Chameera have been expensive for the Super Giants, and Varun Aaron is too much wayward with his bowling. Super Giants need another bowler except for Avesh Khan that they can count upon in crunch situations.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have won one match out of the two in the tournament. The game they won against Mumbai Indians took a herculean effort from Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav. Their top-order is failing in Tata IPL 2022, and Delhi has been unsuccessful in the powerplay. The form and fitness of Prithvi Shaw is a big worry for the team management.
However, with David Warner and Anrich Nortje available to play in LSG vs DC encounter, Delhi Capitals might just tick all the boxes. Warner’s presence at the top can help them set the platform for the middle-order, while Nortje will lead the pace attack of Delhi Capitals against Lucknow Super Giants.
Probable Xis:
LSG: KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Manish Pandey, Evin Lewis, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Andrew Tye/Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan
DC: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mandeep Singh, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahman
Cricreads Fantasy XI:
Lokesh Rahul, Rishabh Pant, David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Ayush Badoni, Jason Holder (vc), Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Andrew Tye, Mustafizur Rahman, Anrich Nortje
Predicted Star Batter:
David Warner is the batter to look out for in the match. He will be hungry for other runs to prove his worth in Tata IPL 2022. Warner was the man of the tournament in the recently concluded T20i World Cup and will look to replicate the same success in Tata IPL 2022.
Predicted Star Bowler:
A returning Anrich Nortje will be raring to destroy a batting unit. With his pace of almost 150km p/h Nortje is a force to reckon with. He will be the bowler to watch out for in LSG vs DC clash.
LSG VS DC Predicted Winner:
Delhi Capitals will make amends from the previous match to secure their 2nd victory on the back of good performances in all three departments.
