The Rishabh Pant-led side will come into this fixture following a last-over thriller win against the Rajasthan Royals. A match that looked to be in RR’s pocket was snatched away in the final moments, thanks to an incredible 20th over by Avesh Khan. The Indore pacer not only picked up three wickets but also managed to defend nine runs in the last six balls. With that win, LSG hold the fifth spot in the points table with 10 points and a positive NRR of 0.088.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals, after enjoying a dream start to the season with four consecutive wins, have faced recent setbacks, losing two of their last three games. In their previous match against Gujarat Titans, the Axar Patel-led side, despite posting 203 on the board, failed to defend it and suffered a seven-wicket loss. With five wins in seven games, DC have firmly held on to second place in the IPL points table.
