IPL 2025: LSG vs DC Match Prediction, Who Will Win Today Match 40?

In all six LSG vs DC head-to-head encounters of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Delhi Capitals, both teams have shared a 3-3 margin, with the last three encounters going in Delhi’s favor.

They will face each other on April 22, 2025, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

In the last few games, the opening partnership of the Super Giants hasn’t worked before the LSG vs DC clash. Aiden Markram was dismissed early in the inning in the previous fixture, while Mitchell Marsh failed in two successive games.

The issue has been consistent with the West Indies left-handed batter, Nicholas Pooran, who has not found the same rhythm with the bat in the last couple of games. On the other hand, their captain, Rishabh Pant’s performance has been under question.

Apart from his lone half-century during the defeat against CSK, he hasn’t done anything yet in the event with the bat in hand.

For the Delhi franchise, they are struggling with a few injury concerns, including Faf du Plessis and the left-arm pacer, T Natarajan. Jake Fraser-McGurk’s lack of form meant they had to tinker a lot with the opening stand before the LSG vs DC fixture.

Axar needs to bowl a lot more overs in the innings. Kuldeep Yadav has been excellent in the middle overs with regular wickets and holding the runs to create pressure on the opposition.

They need to turn around for two defeats in the last three encounters of the event. It will be a return for KL Rahul to Lucknow, his former franchise.
