Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL Match Today: Both DC and LSG come into Tuesday’s IPL match with a chance of making it to the IPL playoffs.
But the race is going to be tricky: with seven IPL matches remaining in the group stages, only one team is secured of a spot in the IPL Playoffs: Kolkata Knight Riders. For six teams, including Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants, there is still hope.
The IPL match today will have everyone’s interest. For Rajasthan Royals, if LSG lose to DC on Tuesday, RR will qualify for the IPL playoffs. But if LSG win, then one win will help RR qualify.
Both Delhi and Lucknow will be hoping to win the IPL Match today. Delhi are more precariously placed, so they need to defeat the Lucknow Super Giants by a massive margin. Then they need to pray: their best chance lies in SRH suffering significant defeats in their final two matches, CSK emerging victorious against RCB, and LSG winning no more than one game while maintaining a run rate below that of DC.
LSG have a better chance than DC for sure. They need to win the IPL match today and then win their last game at Mumbai too. But even that may not be good enough: after reaching 16 points with two wins, they could still find themselves trailing behind CSK and SRH, who boast of significantly better net run rates.

Player to watch out for DC in IPL match today: The explosive Jake Fraser-McGurk has piled on 330 runs already in IPL 2024. A dissection of this number shows that 296 of these runs came from just boundaries (that’s a boundary percentage of 89.7!), demonstrating that the young Fraser-McGurk is a stand and deliver sort of player. LSG fans will be anxious to see the back of him today.

Player to watch out for LSG in IPL match today: KL Rahul. How is LSG’s top scored and captain feeling after the video of LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka’s angry monologue went viral? LSG have tried to downplay the scenes that the world witnessed as a ‘robust discussion between two cricket lovers’, but a sense of what it really was can be gauged only today when LSG take the field again. With LSG still in the IPL playoffs race, they will want Rahul, their top-scorer with 460 runs, to perform.
DC vs LSG head-to-head stats: The two teams have met each other on four occasions in the IPL. Lucknow Super Giants hold the upper hand with three wins over DC. However, Delhi won the last match between the two sides.
