High On Confidence Lucknow Super Giants will take on Delhi Capitals today at 7:30 PM at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. After losing to Gujarat Titans in the opening match of IPL-15, Lucknow made a strong comeback by defeating defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals started with a thumping win over five-time winners Mumbai Indians but lost their second match at the hands of the newly-weds Gujarat Titans.
Lucknow has shown strength in every department of sports
The team of Lucknow was being included in the strong teams of the competition since the time of the auction. The top order also failed in the opening match, with Ayush Badoni and Deepak Hooda coming into the middle order to take the team to a challenging score of 158. Then in the second match, when the 4-time winner Chennai Super Kings put forward a target of 211, everyone felt that the match would be one-sided. There, Evin Lewis and Ayush Badoni took the team to the floor after a quick 99-run start from KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock. This match made it clear that whether playing first or later, Lucknow's middle-order knows the skill of scoring runs.
It was natural for the bowlers to get excited when the batsmen were doing so well. Avesh Khan, Jason Holder, Krunal Pandya, Andrew Tye, and Ravi Bishnoi together defended a target of 170 runs against Hyderabad on a batting-friendly wicket. After the match, everyone understood that Lucknow's top order, middle order, and bowling attack can tear down any big team.
Delhi still looking for a winning combination
If we talk about Delhi Capitals, then this team is currently going through a phase of change. Shreyas Iyer, Avesh Khan, Shikhar Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Marcus Stoinis, R. After the withdrawal of players like Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Delhi is trying to inculcate the habit of winning some new players. The result of not performing as a unit was that after the failure of the first three batsmen in the previous match, Delhi's team fell 14 runs short of Gujarat's score of 171. The pair of Lalit Yadav and Aksar Patel is doing well as all-rounders but without the support of some other players, their efforts are going in vain.
If Delhi has to go further in this tournament, then every player in the camp will have to understand their role. Especially the opening pair of the team has not lived up to the expectations so far. So far this season 'The Prithvi Show' has not been seen with the bat of Prithvi Shaw, who is called the powerhouse of talent. A big partnership will be needed in the opening today if Delhi has to win not only hearts but also matches against Lucknow. Mandeep Singh's flop show on important positions like First Down is also a matter of concern for the Capitals. Yash Dhul can be given a chance in his place. It is expected that under the coaching of Ricky Ponting, Delhi will make a strong fightback today after a defeat.
Delhi is already looking stronger with the arrival of Enrique Nortya and David Warner.
