Team News
Axar Patel has struggled to make an impressionful performance for DC. His bowling has conceded runs regularly, hampering their efforts towards reaching a target of 160 runs.
Aiden Markram has already made it to his fifty for LSG and has played an outstanding innings, helping the hosts overcome an early low point. His 50 came off just 30 balls as the South African continued his powerful batting.
Mitch Marsh and Nicholas Pooran gave LSG an impressive start against Delhi Capitals at Visakhapatnam’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium earlier in their run chase for victory, contributing 95 runs off 21 balls as their side reached 117-1 at halfway mark.
As DC found themselves struggling to meet their required run rate, Ashutosh Sharma made an extraordinary contribution – scoring 66 off just 27 balls to ensure DC eventually passed over the line and won. Sharma displayed remarkable courage despite suffering an injury on his finger while still contributing such an influential innings for DC.
Rishabh Pant remains out, and David Miller takes his place at No. 4. Miller has been impressive this season and his recent batting exploits have propelled him up the order for DC.
Former captain Matt Walker remains out, so quickly rediscover your form if you hope to lead DC back into playoff contention this year – after this game they praised your desire to play regardless of an injury!
Prediction
Delhi Capitals have an outstanding chance of taking over at the top of the table if they win this game, having won all five previous encounters and holding an advantage over second-placed Mumbai Indians. But their challenger will be LSG at Ekana Stadium on Tuesday; an important fixture that both teams should not overlook.
LSG were relatively unknown at the start of this season, yet five wins from eight games has put them in contention for a top-four finish.
Their latest triumph came against Rajasthan Royals in a last-over thriller when they defended 180 thanks to some sharp bowling at the death. Aiden Markram led with his bat, scoring 66 off 45 in a match where Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran struggled.
Rishabh Pant, Raishabh Pant and Markram can lead the batting line for them. Their biggest weakness with regards to bowling consistency will be addressed by Mitchell Starc’s arrival – who played an integral part for champion KKR last season and can bolster an already formidable bowling attack which includes Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur.
Both squads boast plenty of talent and this contest should be close. Ekana Stadium features a slow pitch that favours spinners while still offering ample opportunity for batsmen batting at Ekana. Expected runs totals for each side are high here with the hosts expected to put up an impressive total.
