Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will lock horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 40th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The contest is set to take place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
LSG will enter this game with their heads held high after a narrow win against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur. With 10 points to their name, LSG will be looking to continue their impressive run this season, as they remain among the front-runners to secure a playoff spot. Boasting a star-studded batting lineup and a young pace bowling attack, they are slight favourites to win at home.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are also in red-hot form this year, currently placed second on the points table with five wins from seven games. However, the visitors have suffered two defeats in their last three matches, including a loss against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their last fixture. They will also be eyeing a crucial win in this encounter to stay in the hunt for a top-two finish.

Ekana Stadium Pitch Report
The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is known for its well-balanced pitch that caters to both batters and bowlers. As the match wears on, spinners tend to come into play, especially on the black soil sections that offer extra grip and slow down the scoring. Conversely, the red soil patches produce bounce, giving fast bowlers an advantage early in the game. Dew is expected to play a crucial role in the second innings, benefiting batters while posing a challenge for spinners to maintain control.
