TATA IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Preview

DC vs LSG, IPL 2025: Three matches have been played so far in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League, in which fans have witnessed a lot of excitement. The fourth match of this season will be played between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants at the Visakhapatnam Stadium on March 24 at 7:30 pm. Both the teams will play under the leadership of new captains in this season of IPL, in which Akshar Patel is handling the responsibility of captaincy of the Delhi Capitals team, while Rishabh Pant will be responsible for the captaincy of the Lucknow Super Giants team.

Lucknow bought Pant for Rs 27 crore in the mega auction for IPL 2025, making him the highest-priced player in IPL history. Obviously, Lucknow will have a lot of expectations from Pant, who could not even reach the playoffs last season. On the other hand KL Rahul, who captained Lucknow for three seasons, will be seen in Delhi jersey this time. Rahul will play as a wicketkeeper batsman this time as he will not have the additional responsibility of captaincy. Two stalwarts of the Indian team, Rahul and Pant, will now be face to face on the cricket field.

On paper, Delhi's team looks very strong as it has a good combination of foreign and Indian players. While Delhi will benefit from the experience of Faf du Plessis in batting, it has experienced Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc in bowling. Delhi's middle order looks strong in the presence of Karun Nair, who has performed brilliantly in domestic cricket, which also includes Rahul, Tristan Stubbs, Sameer Rizvi and Ashutosh Sharma.

Lucknow will hope that their Indian players will coordinate well with the foreign players. Among the foreign players, Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is available only as a specialist batsman as he has been advised not to bowl due to injury. In such a situation, Lucknow will expect a good performance from the South African pair of David Miller and Aiden Markram.

ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch of Visakhapatnam favors the batsmen, where the average score in the first innings is around 170. In such a situation, the match between Delhi and Lucknow is expected to be high scoring. In the beginning, fast bowlers get help, but as the match progresses, spinners play an important role.

This will be the second consecutive year that Delhi will play its home matches at Y.S. Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Delhi Capitals played two home matches in Visakhapatnam in IPL 2024, winning one and losing the other.
