In the 11 encounters of the Indian Premier League at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, the teams batting first have enjoyed a lead of 6-5 over the teams chasing a score. For the DC vs LSG clash in the 2025 season of the league, the conditions are expected to remain the same.

The spinners, undoubtedly, enjoyed the conditions at the ground, with the off-spinners carrying an economy rate of just over seven. Even the leg spinners have gone at an economy rate of just below the 7.5 mark. All the bowlers have done well overall, with the ball at an economy rate of under nine.

DC and LSG’s performances in the middle overs

Even with two of the best Indian spinners in the side, Delhi Capitals struggled with the ball in the middle overs. They had an economy rate of 8.56 in 14 innings of the group stage, leaking 1078 runs in 756 balls. Axar generally used to come with the new ball when the fast bowlers couldn’t take wickets early in the innings.

Kuldeep Yadav was introduced in the middle overs. But both of them weren’t capable as much as they were for the national side. Delhi’s bowling average of 26.29 was the second-best in the last edition of the tournament, as they picked up 41 wickets in the IPL 2024.

So even if the opponents smacked the spinners for the huge shots, they were able to earn wickets with the old ball. Their best performance in the seventh to 15th over mark in an inning was 5/56. In the DC vs LSG encounter, they will hope to see the best of these two quality Indian spinners.

For the Lucknow Super Giants, their economy rate of 8.52 was the fourth best of the last season in the middle overs, as they gave away 1028 runs in 14 innings in 724 balls. Both Krunal Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi contributed well with the ball in the middle overs of the competition.

But their issue was the number of wickets they picked. Their 30 wickets in the last season, during the 7-15th over mark, was the second lowest among all the ten franchises at an average of 8.52 and a strike rate of 24.13.

Lucknow will be under the captaincy of the former Delhi leader, Rishabh Pant, while KL Rahul, the former LSG leader, will play for the Capitals.
