LSG vs. DC: The IPL 2025's high-stakes drama continues as the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) get ready to host the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 40 on Tuesday, April 22, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. This matchup confirms fireworks as both teams compete for playoff spots.
Even though they recently defeated the first IPL champions, Captain Rishabh Pant's performance has been a big worry. Even though he only scored fifty runs in this edition at the Ekana Ground, the Indian dasher has only amassed 106 runs in eight games. The left-handed batter's ability to duplicate that performance in this game is therefore still up in the air.
In contrast, the Delhi Capitals won four straight games to start the season. But in their last three games, the team has dropped two of them. They will have to work hard against the hosts this time, after Axar Patel and his team battled against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad in their previous match.
In the background of all of this, the cricket community will never forget how the Delhi Capitals defeated LSG by one wicket when they played each other earlier in the league in Vizag, owing to the heroics of Ashutosh Sharma.
