LSG vs. DC: Match Preview
Delhi should focus on the game instead of a needless dispute with the umpire
Talking about Delhi Capitals, the no-ball controversy is not taking the name of leaving them behind. First, Rishabh Pant asked both his batsmen to leave the field during the last over against Rajasthan. Then after that against Kolkata, his bowler Lalit Yadav's ball was called a no-ball.
Such unnecessary controversies will distract the players and the team will have to bear the loss. In such a situation, it is necessary that Ricky Ponting find a way to get Pant's aggression out of his bat. If the team has to travel to the playoffs, then it will be necessary to speak of Pant's bat.
Lucknow is looking in a great rhythm
All is well for Lucknow Super Giants. Although their batsmen did not perform as per the expectations in the last two matches, the bowlers have shown their mettle by defending small targets. Mohsin Khan and Krunal Pandya are bowling well.
Avesh has the ability to change the environment of the competition with his balls at any time. The team will be expecting a bang from your opener and captain KL Rahul today. Lucknow is currently firmly in the top 4 and is on its way to the playoffs.
