00:00In the IPL, Lucknow Super Giants will face Delhi Capitals today. The match is in Lucknow at 7.30pm.
00:06At two teams eliminated last season, failing to even secure a spot in the playoffs, are the Lucknow Super Giants
00:11and the Delhi Capitals.
00:13The Super Giants will be playing under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant, while the Delhi team will be led by
00:18Aksar Patel.
00:19Rishabh Pant certainly has a great deal to prove, especially here in Lucknow.
00:24Pan, who joined the team for a hefty price, couldn't shine as captain or better last season.
00:28With key players also getting injured, Lucknow was pushed down to 7th place in the league standings.
00:33However, by bringing in Mohamed Shami and Anrich Nortje, Lucknow has significantly strengthened its bowling lineup.
00:38The return of face bowler Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan from their injuries is also highly anticipated.
00:44Mitchell Marsh and Aidan Markram are openers capable of providing an explosive start.
00:49The middle order, which includes Pant, Nicolas Poran, Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad, is also strong.
00:55The anticipation is about who will step into the finisher's role.
00:58Delhi, who were exhausted after trying seven opening pairs last season, are now hopefully looking towards KL Rahul's back.
01:05Lankan opener Papum Nisanka is anticipated to be Rahul's opening partner.
01:09Prith Visho and Abhishek Porel are also part of the Delhi squad as openers.
01:13With Litish Rana, Tristan Stubbs and Karun Nair, the arrival of David Miller means there are no worries for the
01:19middle order.
01:20It's certain that the eight overs from the spin duo of Aksar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav will determine the game's
01:25direction.
01:26Despite the absence of the Australian player Mitchell Stark from the squad, the pace bowling unit featuring Lungingidi, Tee Natarajan,
01:32Akib Nabi and Mukesh Kumar is certainly above average.
01:35In head-to-head stats, Delhi has a slight edge.
01:38In seven matches, Delhi won four and Lucknow won three.
01:42Historically, Lucknow's wicket favors bowlers.
01:45On a pitch where spinners might bowl in the power play, bowlers will decide the game's outcome.
01:50The toss will also be crucial due to Duke.
01:54Have a good night.
