LSG vs DC prediction
- Result prediction: Lucknow Super Giants to win
Despite the bookmakers at Dafabet having the Delhi Capitals as favourites, LSG will continue their unbeaten streak and make it 3/3.
As mentioned, DC will be without Rishabh Pant for the 2023 season, which is a massive blow to their title chances.
The addition of Pooran, Sams and Sheperd adds more balance to the list while the opening pair of Rahul and Quinton de Kock is likely to get their side off on the right foot, like they did last year.
However, alike their last clash in May, 2022, it was a close match and with DC wanting to improve on their finish last year, you better believe it will be a tight one again.
LSG vs DC best bet
- Pick: Highest scoring over (LSG) — more than 17.5 runs
- Odds: 1.74 (Dafabet)
With plenty of big hitters in their squad, expect LSG to really put the pressure on DC while they're at the crease.
The likes of Rahul, Stoinis, Mayers, Pooran and Hooda, LSG can be a real issue for opposition sides if they get rolling.
As a result, that is why the pick for more than 17.5+ runs in any given over for LSG will come into fruition.
LSG vs DC flier bet
- Pick: Mitchell Marsh to score 50
- Odds: 4.20 (Dafabet)
Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has missed a fair bit of cricket, including Big Bash League (BBL) 12 with a knee injury.
However, cricket lovers will know just how well this guy can strike the ball and would be remiss if they didn't think he can recapture some of his 2021-22 season form.
Marsh was an integral part of Australia's T20 World Cup-winning team and will be keen to make an impact for the Delhi Capitals.
