What Occurred During the Previous Clash Between KL Rahul’s LSG and Rishabh Pant’s DC in the IPL | LSG vs DC
Three playoff spots remain open for IPL 2024, with Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vying for a place. Their crucial upcoming match in Delhi on Tuesday will determine their chances of advancing.
For both teams, winning is essential to keep their playoff hopes alive. A loss would eliminate DC from top-four contention, while LSG could still advance depending on other results.
DC has only one win in their last three matches, while LSG suffered back-to-back losses to KKR and SRH. In their previous encounter, DC triumphed over LSG by six wickets.
When DC Faced LSG In Lucknow
Lucknow’s innings began strongly with Quinton de Kock’s aggressive start, but his departure and Devdutt Padikkal’s struggles slowed their progress. Despite KL Rahul’s efforts, the lack of support and Kuldeep Yadav’s spin magic saw Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran departing, leaving Lucknow struggling at 94/7. However, a crucial partnership between Ayush Badoni and Arshad Khan guided Lucknow to a respectable total of 167, with Badoni unbeaten on 55 off 35 balls and Arshad Khan on 20 off 16 balls.
In their chase, Delhi faced early setbacks as David Warner was dismissed after being struck on the wrists. Debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk brought some momentum with two sixes, while Prithvi Shaw’s six fours in the powerplay provided support. However, Shaw fell while trying to accelerate against Ravi Bishnoi. Delhi’s momentum was further slowed by four quiet overs post-powerplay, with Fraser-McGurk struggling for timing. Rishabh Pant’s aggressive approach against Bishnoi shifted the momentum back to Delhi, and ultimately, Shai Hope and Tristan Stubbs steered Delhi to victory.
