Delhi Capitals look to make a statement as they face the Lucknow Super Giants in their 2023 Indian Premier League opener.
DC are one of four teams who are yet to win an IPL title, but their squad this season looks very strong despite the injury to Rishabh Pant. After finishing in fifth place last season, the Capitals bought veteran Ishant Sharma to help the bowling lineup while adding Phil Salt and Rilee Rossouw to cover the space left by Pant.
LSG had a somewhat successful debut season in the competition, reaching the playoffs on their first attempt. KL Rahul led the side with the bat, finishing second in the race for the Orange Cap. Quinton de Kock also scored the third highest total in IPL history, with an unbeaten 140 against Kolkata Knight Riders. They eventually lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first eliminator.
The Capitals lost both meetings between the two sides last year. They lost by six wickets in the first game before losing by six runs in the second matchup.
The pitch in Lucknow is fairly balanced compared to other surfaces in India, but you would still prefer to bat first on this track.
