Preview
Lucknow Super Giants will be taking on Delhi Capitals in the 26th match of the IPL 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Following their three straight wins, LSG are one of the in-form teams of the IPL currently, who will be looking to keep their winning momentum going. Meanwhile, DC are on the other side of the spectrum, losing four out of five matches in the IPL 2024 thus far, finding themselves at the bottom of the points table on the basis of their NRR.
Pitch Report
The pitches in the first couple of matches at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow for IPL 2024 were quite decent for batting, but it also gave some assistance to the pacers and spinners alike. With that, the average first innings of 156 at this venue in the tournament history, might not prove to be enough to defend for either LSG or DC in their upcoming match.
Team Analysis
Lucknow Super Giants
The Lucknow Super Giants had their star Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis score a vital fifty against Gujarat Titans, giving a huge boost to their batting lineup heading into the upcoming matches in the IPL 2024. In the bowling side of things, LSG put up an incredible performance against GT, bundling them out within 19 overs, thanks mainly to the five-wicket haul from Yash Thakur and three wickets from Krunal Pandya.

Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals batting lineup was quite impressive in their previous IPL 2024 match against Mumbai Indians, with the likes of Prithvi Shaw and Tristan Stubbs scoring quick-fire fifties, but it wasn’t enough to chase a 235-run target on the night. The bowling attack of DC has struggled massively in the absence of Kuldeep Yadav, conceding a couple of massive totals in the tournament recently.
