LSG vs. DC Live Score, IPL 2025: Focus on KL Rahul because Delhi’s capitals face Lucknow Super Giants in High-Stack Clash
In this season, Delhi’s initial combination is playing Roule. FAF du Plessis, Jake Fraser-Mackgurk, Abishek Porl, and the most recent addition, between Karun Nair, Capital has reshuffled through three different couples in its last five matches. Result? The partnership of 23, 34, 0, 9, and 0 – rarely starts that inspires confidence.
Inconsistency can be partially attributed to the injury to do placeis, and South African fitness will be subject to close investigation ahead of this major conflict.
Despite the instability begins, DC has won five out of seven matches, with his mid-order-KL is working as a well-oil machine under Rahul Rahul.
However, against Lucknow’s skilled bowling unit, this may not be enough.
LSG’s bowling – Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, and a little expensive but veteran Shardul Thakur’s choice is characteristic – quietly but effectively dissolved the opposition batsmen.
Avesh Khan’s clutch Death over, especially in a two -run win against Rajasthan Royals, displayed LSG’s growing confidence that they could change the games from any situation.
Keeping this in mind, Delhi can make another poor start sick. They want their openers to put a platform, not to leave the middle order to clean the dirt again and again.
On the other hand, Lucknow has gained perseverance at the top. Michelle Marsh, Nicholas Gudan, and Aden Markram have been constantly fired, leading to the LSG lead in the powerplay stage.
A curious irony in playing is: While both teams have performed well – with each 10 points – their captains have contracted for personal expeditions.
For LSG, Rishabh Pant’s form has been a growing concern. Fast wicketkeeper-Better has scored just 106 runs in eight matches, out of which 63 have come in the same innings. His overall strike rate of 98 is unknowingly low, which raises questions about his impact.
The pants will now be tested against a quality DC bowling attack, which features Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Vipraj Nigam and Mukesh Kumar.
Meanwhile, Exer Patel – Chief DC – has performed better with the bat, scoring 140 runs at a strike rate of 159. But this improvement has come at a cost. With only one wicket and 9.36 economy, his bowling has taken a backseat.
The increased responsibility of the captaincy and a high batting role can take a toll on the primary skill of Exer. DC think-tank wants their skipper to find balance and contribute more effectively with the ball to add depth to their attack.
