Lokesh Rahul has scored 75 runs from 40 balls against Shardul Thakur. He got out twice and hit 9 fours and 4 sixes. He’s been very strong with a strike rate close to 190.

Nicholas Pooran has scored 22 runs from 14 balls against Mukesh Kumar. He got out once and hit 2 fours and a six. His best was in 2024 with 16 quick runs.
Nicholas Pooran is the main man in LSG’s batting lineup known for his power hitting and quick runs scoring. The decision of sending him at number three has paid off for Lucknow SuperGiants this season. He has scored 368 runs in just eight games with high scores like unbeaten 87 against KKR and a quickfire 61 against GT.
Mitchell Marsh has also become a perfect pick of LSG’s opening slot this season. He has been very consistent with his runs scoring ability having scored 299 runs in just seven games. He hammered 81 against KKR and 60 against MI both in winning cause, showing his importance for the team.
KL Rahul has been in steady form playing with calm and composure in all the matches he have played so far, however he has been more aggressive with his approach in his batting then past three years. He has been a important player for Delhi Capitals with his match-winning 93* against RCB and a classy 77 against CSK. He will be eager to do the damage in this match, after missing this fixture the first time around due to a family emergency.
Kuldeep Yadav has been one of the best bowlers for Delhi this season. He has picked one wicket in almost every match and doubled that in a few matches as well. He has picked up wickets consistently, including 2 each against RCB and MI. His variations are not easy to attack, making him a vital player against the power hitters of LSG.
Ayush Badoni has quietly become a strong middle-order option for LSG. His recent numbers are proof of his calm and composure while batting. He has been there in the thick and thin of his team this season and has always supported his team when in need. His recent 50 against RR and unbeaten 28 against GT were very smartly played innings for his team.
Abishek Porel has been a handy batter for DC this season. He scored 49 against RR and has been chipping in with useful runs regularly. Porel is growing in confidence and looks more settled at the crease. He adds good depth to the DC batting lineup.
You can avoid Jake Fraser-McGurk and Himmat Singh in your Dream11 team for this match. Both players have not made an impact so far and are unlikely to feature in the playing XI. DC might use Faf Du Plessis(if fit) or Dushmantha Chameera as their impact player in this match. while LSG are using Ayush Badoni as their Indian Impact player in place of Himmat Singh.
