IPL 2022: LSG vs DC Preview – In-form Lucknow up against reinforced Delhi

The Lucknow Super Giants will be locking horns with the Delhi Capitals in Match 15 of IPL 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on April 7. Both teams are coming into this contest on the back of contrasting results. While LSG registered a 12-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game, Delhi suffered a 14-run loss to Gujarat Titans.

Ever since their opening defeat against GT, Lucknow have clicked well as a unit as far as their batting and bowling performances are concerned. The last two matches saw their top and middle-order batters playing impactful knocks which proved to be fruitful in the end. Even the bowlers are peaking at the right time.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, saw a good bowling performance in both games where they kept their respective oppositions down to a manageable total. But, it is the batting that must come good against the Lucknow Super Giants if DC want to get back to winning ways.

While the key batters did showcase a match-winning performance in the tournament opener against Mumbai Indians while chasing 178, they failed to get the job done against the Titans chasing a slightly lesser target (172).
