https://cricketmood.com/On a doubleheader Super Saturday, April 1, 2023, in Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will play in the third match of the current Indian Premier League (IPL). In the league stage of the sixteenth IPL season, the two teams will only clash once.
Under KL Rahul’s direction, LSG was able to make the playoffs in their inaugural season last year. In the elimination match in Kolkata, they were defeated by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by a score of 14 runs. Eventually, the new team won nine of its 14 league-stage games, which impressed everyone. DC, on the other hand, came in fifth place in the points standings and was left out of the top four.
They already experienced a severe setback before the season began when their normal skipper, Rishabh Pant, was forced to withdraw from the competition owing to an injury. With Pant’s absence, Australian David Warner is expected to captain the team this year. Rilee Rossouw, Phil Salt, and Manish Pandey are just a few of the fresh faces they’ve welcomed to their team. LSG made a significant financial investment to get Nicholas Pooran’s services for a staggering INR 16 crore. DC, which has never won the championship, will want to break that streak this season by winning the first game.
