Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 26 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Friday, April 12 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. With one loss and three consecutive wins, LSG are in third place in the Indian Premier League (IPL). 6 points in IPL 2024 standings. DC, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the table with two points. In the five games they played, DC won just one and lost four. With that in mind, let’s take a look at both sides’ predicted lineups ahead of an intriguing matchup.

LSG predicted eleven

Quinton de Kock

Slugger Quinton DeKock is having a good season. He scored 145 points in four games, including two games with more than 50 points. De Kock has performed well against Delhi in the past and will be eager to beat the DC bowlers at home.

KL Rahul (captain and wicketkeeper)

India’s star batsman KL Rahul has struggled to find form in IPL 2024. He has scored 126 runs in four games and has scored a half-century. Rahul will be keen to start the attack quickly and lead LSG to a brisk start against DC.

Dedutt Padikkar

Devdutt Padikkal has not been completely dismissed for LSG this season. The left-handed batsman, who has lost wickets early in all four games so far, will be looking to rediscover his old form that saw him score plenty of runs in the past IPL seasons.

Marcus Stonis

Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis will add depth to LSG’s middle-order batting while also being a valuable asset to their fast bowling unit. He has scored 104 points in four games, including an important 58 points in the last game.

Nicholas Pullan

Nicholas Pooran gave a brilliant performance for Lucknow in IPL 2024. Pooran is LSG’s top scorer this season with 178 runs in four games, with an average of 178 and a strike rate of 169.52.

Ayush Badoni

Ayush Badoni has had a mediocre start in IPL 2024. He hasn’t been on the scoresheet, with just 29 points in four games, and Badoni needs to start making an impact soon if he wants to keep his spot in the starting lineup.

Krunal Pandya

Known for his left-arm spin and aggressive batting, Krunal Pandya brings balance to LSG’s line-up. He has scored 48 runs, taken 3 wickets in four innings of IPL 2024 and is yet to be dismissed.

Ravi Bishnoi

Ravi Bishnoi adds a dynamic spin bowling option to the LSG line-up. He has taken two wickets in four games so far with an economy rate of 8.66. Bishnoi’s change of spin has earned him six wickets in the past against DC and he will add to that tally on Friday.

Mohsin Khan

Mohsin Khan is likely to take over from injured Mayank Yadav in LSG’s upcoming match against DC. Mohsin has picked up three wickets in two games so far and he will hope to continue being one of the wickets against DC.

Navin Haq

Afghanistan speedster Naveen-ul-Haq is likely to open the bowling for Lucknow against DC. Naveen is known for his ability to swing the ball quickly and his versatility with the ball has seen him take five wickets in his four games so far.

Yash Thakur

Yash Thakur has had a good run in IPL 2024 so far. He picked up six wickets in four games, including Man of the Match taking 5/30 in LSG’s last match against Gujarat Titans.

DC Predict XI

Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw is expected to open the batting for Delhi Capitals. Shaw has had a slow start to the IPL 2024, but he will enter the upcoming tournament with a blistering 40-ball 66 against MI. He will continue his form against the LSG bowlers and lead DC to victory.

David Warner

Australia opener David Warner has had an unimpressive start to IPL 2024 by his standards. The two-time Orange Cap winner has 158 points in five games and is expected to make a big impact sooner or later.

Mitchell Marsh

Warner’s compatriot Mitchell Marsh could be a valuable asset for Derry. Marsh’s aggressive batting style can help DC score runs quickly, while his pace can come in handy when it comes to providing crucial breakthroughs.

Tristan Stubbs

Tristan Stubbs will come into the upcoming match with a brilliant performance of 25 balls 71* against MI. Although his heroics were in vain, his innings has already featured three boundaries and seven full runs and he will be full of confidence ahead of the match against LSG.

Rishabh Pant (captain and wicketkeeper)

Rishab Pant’s batting performance in IPL 2024 shows that he is getting back to his best. The DC skipper has scored 153 runs in five games, including two 50-plus runs, at an impressive strike rate of 154.54. Pant will aim to build on his performance against LSG.

Abhishek Borel

Abhishek Porrell is likely to be a key figure in Capitals’ starting XI. He has scored 91 runs in five games and the youngster will be looking to showcase his batting prowess in the upcoming matches after giving us a glimpse of his talent in matches against Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians.

Axar Patel

The addition of Axar Patel adds reliable spin bowling and lower-order batting options to DC’s line-up. His performance with the bat this season has been poor, but Patel took four wickets in five games, which was crucial in containing LSG’s batting line-up.

Kuldeep Yadav

Leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav will lead Delhi Capitals’ spin attack. His ability to turn around and bowl unpredictable pitches could help him confuse LSG’s batsmen. Kuldeep has taken three wickets in two matches and will hope to make a big impact against LSG.

Anrich Nortje

The addition of Anrich Nortje adds a strong pace bowling option to the DC line-up. Known for his quick speed and jumping ability, Nolje poses a huge threat to opposing attackers. He took 6 wickets in four games in IPL 2024.

Mukesh Kumar

Mukesh Kumar will be a key member of DC’s fast bowling unit. The Indian pacer has batted four times in two games this season at an average of 17.50 and with the 2024 T20 WC around the corner, Mukesh will be keen to perform at the top level in the hope of being named in the Indian squad.

Khalil Ahmed

Khalil Ahmed is likely to open for the Capitals in the upcoming games. Kahlil is Delhi’s top wicket-taker this season with seven wickets in five games and needless to say, he will play a big role in the powerplay and death overs.
