Preview – LSG vs DC
Team News:
Lucknow Supergiants: Marcus Stoinis is unavailable for today’s match. He was one of the players they retained before the auctions. Manish Pandey has struggled to score in this IPL as he has scored 6 (5), 5 (6), and 11 (10) in the last three matches. They have no more options for backup Indian batsmen. They should pick Manish Pandey or try Manon Vohra.
Probable Playing XI: KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Manish Pandey, Evin Lewis, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Andrew Tye, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan.
Delhi Capitals: David Warner and Anrich Nortje are available for selection for today’s match. This is the first time DC will play with four foreign players. One of the Indian fast bowlers, Khaleel Ahmed or Shardul Thakur, should be replaced by Anrich Nortje. Khaleel took 4 wickets with a 7.6 economy, and Shardul took zero wickets with an 11.1 economy. Axar Patel showed his skills with the bat in the first match, DC can trust him at 7. Shardul can be dropped.
Probable Playing XI: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mandeep Singh, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Khaleel Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahman.
Matchups:
Prithvi Shaw vs Jason Holder: short-pitched balls have troubled Prithvi Shaw and the opposition is using them against him. Jason Holder is a tall fast bowler who can bowl short-pitched balls with extra bounce. The holder tries to swing the ball as well, which can be an interesting competition.
David Warner vs Ravi Bishnoi: David Warner played only 4 balls in Ravi Bishnoi’s bowling and was dismissed twice. Bishnoi can bowl an over in powerplay in this innings to dismiss the most experienced T20 opener.
Dekock vs Spinners: Decock didn’t do well against the spinners early in the innings. He was dismissed by Washington Sunder in the second over of the last match. Rishabh Pant has options. He can ask Lalit Yadav to bowl against a left-handed batsman, off-spinner, or left-hander matchup. Or Axar can bowl well in the powerplay and he has experience.
Key Players and Fantasy Picks:
Batters: KL Rahul, Ayush Badoni, Evin Lewis, David Warner, Prithvi Shaw
Wicketkeeper: Rishabh Pant
All-Rounders: Jason Holder, Deepak Hooda
