Buoyed by their win over Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals will aim to continue their winning run against the Lucknow Super Giants. The DC bowlers built a strong foundation against KKR before the batters brought the team across the finish line. The Capitals were given a boost by the return of Mitchell Marsh, but the Australian all-rounder failed to impress. However, it is likely that Marsh will keep his place while DC appears to be performing with the same team against LSG.
Here’s how DC might stack up against LSG:
Prithvi Shaw: The young opener was in fine form for DC this season, but failed to impress in the previous game. To date, Shaw has scored 254 runs in eight games, including two 1950s.
David Warner: The veteran batter goes through a purple patch after joining the franchise before the start of the season. In six games, Warner has scored 261 points, including three over fifty scores.
Mitchell Marsh: Back on the team after recovering from Covid, Marsh will try to get up to speed and help his team make it to the playoffs.
Rishabh Pant: The DC skipper has had a good start to the season but hasn’t been able to make a big hit. Pant’s form will be key for the Capitals in the coming games.
Rovman Powell: After a rocky start to his DC career, Rovman Powell took major blows in the last few games. He will try to continue with the same impetus.
Lalit Yadav: The all-rounder has shown in patches that the team can rely on his finishing ability if given the chance. He also contributed with the ball, taking four wickets in eight matches so far.
Axar Patel: The Indian all-rounder has done well with the bat, but his form with the ball has been a concern for the team. He will try to add more consistency to his game.
Shardul Thakur: It has been a disappointing campaign for Shardul Thakur so far. Besides many runs, the all-rounder did not leak any points for his team.
Kuldeep Yadav: After struggling to find game time at KKR for the past two seasons, Kuldeep Yadav has found his mojo at DC this season. So far, the left arm wrist spinner has taken 17 wickets in eight matches.

Mustafizur Rahman: The Bangaldesh pacer has proved to be an excellent asset to DC this season. So far he has taken eight wickets in seven matches and has also been frugal.
Chetan Sakariya: The young pacesetter made his debut in the previous match against KKR and immediately impressed. He threw three overs, returning figures of one for 17.
