Preview
The Delhi Capitals will host the Lucknow Super Giants in the 64th match of the IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. In the last few matches of the tournament, the Delhi Capitals have managed to pick up some much-needed wins, including a big one against the Rajasthan Royals, to stay in the reckoning for the playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Lucknow Super Giants suffered two big defeats at the hands of the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Sunrisers Hyderabad, to lose complete momentum at the critical stage of the IPL 2024, putting their hopes of a playoff spot in some jeopardy.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi have consistently produced totals in excess of 200 runs in the IPL 2024, giving nothing much for the bowlers to work with. The average first innings of 169 runs at this venue in the history of the IPL, has been a non-factor, which is why the batters of Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants will have to up the ante with the bat from the get-go.
Team Analysis
Delhi Capitals
The opening pair of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel has been quite impressive for Delhi Capitals in the last few matches of the IPL 2024, setting up a good platform for the rest of the batting lineup to consolidate the innings. In the bowling department, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have gotten better with their execution, picking up wickets consistently, while keeping the runs down, and they have gotten decent support from the fast bowlers Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar in particular.

Lucknow Super Giants
The top order of the Lucknow Super Giants played timid cricket against the SunRisers Hyderabad until Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran got them out of trouble and put a respectable score on the board.
