Delhi Capitals will be looking to get their campaign back on track as they face KL Rahul's Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Lucknow, now third in the points table, appears to be a well-rounded team, despite the possible loss of talented bowler Mayank Yadav due to injury. Yadav, famed for his blistering pace of above 150 kmph, left the last match against Gujarat Titans after delivering only one over owing to abdominal discomfort.
In contrast, the Capitals have the worst net run rate (-1.370) and are buried towards the bottom of the points standings. The few bright spots in the Delhi Capitals' 2024 campaign have been the form of captain Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubb. The primary problem is the team's shallow bench of Indian talent. This deficit undermines team confidence.
