Both Bleed Red (But Need Wins):
The pressure is on for Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as they clash in Delhi. Both teams are at 12 points with fading playoff hopes. Even a win isn’t enough; they need a miracle run and some help from other teams.
DC’s Blunders Haunt Them:
DC’s fate is in their own hands, but recent blunders haven’t helped. Against RCB, dropped catches of key batsmen allowed them to post a defendable total. Axar Patel shone, but Rishabh Pant’s return from suspension is crucial.
LSG’s Top Order Struggles:
LSG’s words begin with KL Rahul’s questionable intent in the PowerPlay, coupled with Quinton de Kock’s inconsistency. Their middle order hasn’t fired either, leading to a poor showing against SRH and a worrying NRR.
PowerPlay and Death Overs – A Double Whammy:
Both teams struggle in the PowerPlay and at the death. LSG has the IPL’s second-worst PowerPlay run-rate, while DC loses the most wickets in that phase. Their death bowling hasn’t been much better either.
A Silver Lining for DC:
Despite the struggles, DC unearthed a gem in Jake Fraser-McGurk. He boasts the highest strike rate (237.41) for batters facing over 100 balls in IPL history. His debut fifty against LSG itself sparked a mid-season revival for DC.
This Match – A Do-or-Die Battle:
This encounter is a must-win for both teams. A narrow victory likely eliminates both from playoff contention. The pressure is immense, and who handles it better will emerge victorious.
