After a winning start to their Indian Premier League campaign against Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals were humbled by new entrants Gujarat Titans in their most recent fixture by 14 runs on Saturday. Next, they are up against an in-form Lucknow Super Giants, led by Indian star KL Rahul, on Thursday at the Dr DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai.
Lucknow will come into this game after getting the better of 2016 IPL champions SunRisers Hyderabad by 12 runs on Monday and will be eager to carry the same momentum forward against Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals.

Lucknow were beaten at the hands of Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans by five wickets in their opening game last month. However, since then, they have come a long way and are currently on a two-match winning streak.
On paper, LSG will head into this game as favourites but the inclusion of David Warner and Anrich Nortje, if available, could work wonders for Delhi.
