LSG vs DC: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will face off in the third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday, April 1st.
Lucknow Super Giants made a successful debut in the last season of the tournament, reaching the playoffs. They have retained KL Rahul as their captain this year and have also made some exciting new signings, including Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd, and Kyle Mayers, who are expected to strengthen the team even further.
Lucknow Super Giants have been hit with a setback just before the start of the season as their top pacer from last year, Mohsin Khan, will be unavailable for the first few matches of the tournament. In his absence, the team is likely to field Jaydev Unadkat. Nevertheless, the team will be eager to make a strong start to their campaign.
As for Delhi Capitals, they will have a new captain in David Warner this year, as regular skipper Rishabh Pant is still recovering from injuries sustained in a serious car accident last year.
They will be without the services of Anrich Nortje for the first few games of the season, meaning they will rely heavily on local bowlers like Chetan Sakariya, Mukesh Kumar, and Khaleel Ahmed. However, their batting lineup looks solid with Mitchell Marsh and Prithvi Shaw in fine form.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the Match 3 of the Indian Premier League, 2023.
