Tonight, Delhi Capitals, who are struggling at the moment, takes on the in-form Lucknow Super Giants at LSG's home ground, the Ekana Stadium. It's a crucial match for the Delhi Capitals as they really need a win to stay in the competition. However, there's a bit of a hurdle: the Delhi Capitals team has never managed to beat LSG in the three times they've played.

In their last encounter during IPL 2023, the Lucknow Super Giants defeated the Delhi Capitals by a margin of 50 runs. It was a standout performance from players like Kyle Mayers and Mark Wood that contributed to LSG's victory

Mayers scored his first IPL fifty in debut

In the first match of IPL 2023 for both teams, the Delhi Capitals, missing Rishabh Pant, were led by David Warner, while Lucknow Super Giants saw Kyle Mayers opening in place of Quinton de Kock. DC won the toss and opted to field, allowing LSG to bat first. 

Kyle Mayers seized the opportunity, smashing 73 runs off 38 balls, including 7 sixes and 2 fours. His explosive performance dominated the DC bowling attack, which notably lacked their key bowler Anrich Nortje.

Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni provided the finishing touches for LSG, pushing their score to 193 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs

Mark Wood destroyed DC batting

In return Delhi's batting struggled against Mark Wood's fast bowling. Wood was on fire, taking 5 wickets for LSG. Despite David Warner's effort, scoring 56 runs off 48 balls, it wasn't sufficient. Delhi's innings ended at 143 for 9 in 20 overs.

Mark Wood was named the Player of the Match for his outstanding bowling performance, where he took 5 wickets while conceding just 14 runs in his four overs.

Facing LSG once more at their home ground will undoubtedly put pressure on DC. LSG has showcased excellent performances in defending scores throughout this season. KL Rahul's captaincy has been exceptional in leading LSG.
