Pooran started IPL 2025 with a bang, demolishing Delhi Capitals in their first meeting. His current form makes him a huge threat, but can DC’s spinners keep him quiet this time?
LSG mentor Zaheer Khan criticized the red-soil pitch after their earlier loss to Punjab Kings at this venue, suggesting the surface didn’t favor LSG’s playing style.
Delhi have tried four different opening combinations – the most by any side this season. Their average first-wicket stand of 21.28 is the lowest among all teams.
Every batter in Delhi’s top seven has a strike rate above 147, making them one of the most dangerous line-ups in IPL 2025. Their collective firepower is unmatched this season.
Kuldeep has dismissed Nicholas Pooran five times in T20s. Pooran, IPL 2025’s most explosive batter (SR 205.58), has struggled against the left-arm wrist spinner, scoring just 74 off 70 balls.
With a strike rate of 222, Abdul Samad has redefined the finisher’s role for LSG. His explosive cameos have sealed games from improbable positions, especially in the death overs.
Appointed captain in place of KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant is yet to fire with the bat. His low strike rate and modest returns are under scrutiny as DC push for consistency.
Despite captaincy changes and injury setbacks, Lucknow have found a winning rhythm. Four of those wins were narrow, underlining their nerves in pressure situations.
KL Rahul already hurt one former franchise this season with a stunning 93 vs RCB. Can he do it again versus LSG in one of IPL 2025’s most anticipated face-offs?
A win for LSG will displace DC at No. 2 in the IPL 2025 points table. With just a few games left, this encounter could shape the playoff race for both franchises.
After a controversial split with Lucknow Super Giants, KL Rahul faces his former team for the first time, adding emotional intensity to an already crucial top-of-the-table showdown.
