Keep reading to find out IIPL 2023 Match 3 LSG vs DC Match Prediction Who will win today.
This is going to be a historic game for Lucknow Super Giants as they will be playing in Lucknow for the first time ever. They had a good season in 2022 as they finished third on the points table in their first outing as a franchise. KL Rahul’s team had lost in the Eliminator match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. This year, they would be hoping to go the distance.
Delhi Capitals narrowly missed out on a playoff spot last year as they ended up on the fifth spot with seven victories and as many defeats. They fell short by just one victory which would have taken them to the playoffs. Their regular skipper Rishabh Pant isn’t available for this season because of the accident he had a couple of months back. David Warner is leading the franchise this year.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals Probable Playing XIs:
Lucknow Supergiants won’t have the services of Quinton de Kock for the initial games as he is in the South African squad that takes on the Netherlands. Kyle Mayers could find a place in the XI until de Kock joins the squad.

Winning chances
On paper, Lucknow Supergiants seem to have a better balance to their side in the current scenario. Delhi Capitals will get better once their ace overseas players join the squad.

Probable Best Batter
KL Rahul has had a torrid time in international cricket of late. He got criticised for lack of runs and faced the axe from the team too. However, when it comes to the IPL, his record in recent years has been second to none. Except him to bring out the best from the outset.
Probable Best Bowler
Kuldeep Yadav hails from Uttar Pradesh and must be having a fair bit of experience at this venue. He could make use of the familiar conditions to trouble the opposition.
