Match Prediction: LSG vs DC Match No- 26 IPL 2024 (9th April 2024)
In match no. 26 of the 2024 IPL season, Lucknow and Delhi will be up against each other at Lucknow’s home ground. This season, Lucknow played two games at Ekana Sports City Stadium and won both. On the other hand, Delhi are having a poor season, winning just a single match so far. So it’s pretty clear that LSG will fancy their chance against the out-of-form Delhi Capitals; however, cricket is a game where anything could be possible. But this game will be played at LSG’s home ground, where they haven’t lost a match yet, plus they will have the additional advantage of crowd support. The pitch at Ekana Stadium is just like other IPL venues, favoring batters, but we have seen that on various occasions, bowlers also got help from the surface at this stadium, especially spinners. So it’s interesting to see who will win today’s IPL match. Considering the current form and the home crowd’s support, the Lucknow Super Giants are looking favorites to win this match.
