What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
These two sides are on the opposite end of the points table with Lucknow having won three of their four games and Delhi losing four of their five. What more, Lucknow are on a three-match winning run.
Quick LSG vs DC Preview
Lucknow Super Giants had begun the season with a 20-run defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals in the first game but since then have exploded to the scene with three successive victories.
Punjab, Gujarat and Bangalore have all been beaten and all of those matches have been won as a part of defending totals. Now, teams have been defending well this season but no other side has clinched three victories batting first.
The secret of that success has been their bowling, more specifically their fast bowling which has made life difficult for the opposition.
Mohsin Khan started off well before Mayank Yadav took over with his thunderbolts. And even when Yadav got injured in their previous match, the team relied on Yash Thakur to get them going.
What they have in front of them is in a sharp contrast to their own fortunes. Delhi have done nothing to prove their mettle so far this season and that’s been down to their inability to stitch together batting and bowling performances.
And to add to that issue, they have suffered quite a few injuries, leaving them with the need to dig into their reserves. It’s not worked despite having tried 19 cricketers already this season.
They are sorely missing Kuldeep Yadav who had a niggle while Mitchell Marsh’s blasting batting has been absent too for the same reason.
Who can Delhi turn to?
