Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals IPL FAQs

I am expecting a good game that will keep the neutrals happy with a number of big hits. Lucknow Super Giants could score the most match 6s.

Lucknow average a league-high 10.63 sixes per match after 38 fixtures.
Lucknow scored the most match sixes in 4 of their last 5 matches.
Delhi conceded an average of 9.57 sixes per match after 38 fixtures, with only two teams conceding more.
Delhi conceded the most match sixes in 4 of their last 5 matches.

Head to Head

Both Lucknow and Delhi have won three of the six IPL matches so far. The last three, though, were won by the Delhi Capitals.

That included a one-wicket win by the Capitals over the Super Gants in Visakhapatnam in match #4 of the season. Nicholas Pooran (75) and Mitchell Marsh (72) helped Lucknow post 209 for 8.

The chase looked out of reach for the Capitals at 113 for 6 in 12.3 overs, but Ashutosh Sharma (66) and Vipraj Nigam (39) took them home with a wicket and three balls to spare.

Lucknow are fifth in the standings with 10 points (W5, L3) after 38 matches. They are the last of five teams level on points, owing to their poor net run rate.

The Super Giants are coming off a thrilling two-run win over Rajasthan Royals on Saturday. Their bowlers will once again look to give them an edge, as Digvesh Rathi (nine wickets, ER 7.43) aims to keep the middle overs quiet.

Their batting is led by hard hitters Nicholas Pooran (368 runs, SR 205.58) and Mitchell Marsh (299 runs, SR 167.97), with both scoring four fifties each. Aiden Markram also chipped in with three 50+ scores.

David Miller is yet to fire for the Giants, but will they go for the jugular and give a chance to Matthew Breetzke?

The Capitals also have ten points (W5, L2) and are second in the standings after 38 matches, only separated from leaders Gujarat Titans by net run rate.

They lost a top-of-the-table clash to Gujarat by seven wickets over the weekend. That makes it three failures to win in regular time in a row, although one of those was won via Super Over.

KL Rahul (266 runs, SR 158.33) had a renaissance moment in the season but needs to regain his momentum. Kuldeep Yadav (12 wickets, ER 6.25) remains their best bowler, while Mitchell Starc (10 wickets) remains a wicket-taking threat.

Donovan Ferreira didn’t have much to do in his first match of the season last time out. He could be sacrificed if Faf du Plessis is back to being fit.
