LSG vs DC is an exciting clash. Two of the most formidable teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 are set to clash in the third match that promises to deliver top-quality cricketing action.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is a relatively new franchise, while the Delhi Capitals (DC) have been one of the most consistent teams in the IPL in recent seasons. Both teams have top-class players so that the match could go down to the wire.
The IPL 2023 match three will take place on April 1, Saturday, at 7:30 PM.
Team Analysis | LSG & DC
The Super Giants have a well-balanced team, with KL Rahul leading the squad. The team has a good mix of talented Indian and overseas players and has an experienced batting and bowling lineup.
Rahul, who has a knack for scoring crucial runs, is the most important player in LSG. Alongside him, Quinton de Kock, who will miss the match against DC, and Nicholas Pooran are top batters. Meanwhile, uncapped Ayush Badoni has shown great potential in domestic cricket and was impressive last season. LSG also has experienced all-rounder Marcus Stoinis.
The bowling lineup includes top bowlers like Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, and Mark Wood. Avesh’s impressive consistency hasn’t gone unnoticed. He has taken 42 wickets in the last two seasons of the IPL.
