When Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) last locked horns nearly a month ago, fans witnessed a nail-biter that went down to the wire. Ashutosh Sharma played a match-winning knock, blasting 66 runs off just 31 balls to help DC snatch victory by a solitary wicket, marking a significant moment in the ongoing DC vs LSG 2025 rivalry.
Now, as the tournament enters its intense mid-phase, the two sides prepare for a high-stakes rematch in the 40th fixture of the Indian Premier League 2025, set to unfold at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Thursday, further intensifying the DC vs LSG 2025 showdown.
Changing Fortunes
Since their previous encounter, both teams have followed diverging paths. DC currently sit comfortably in second place on the points table with five wins in seven matches, showcasing consistent form. On the other hand, LSG find themselves in fifth place, having secured five victories from eight outings—competitive, but still chasing momentum.
Recent Form
Delhi Capitals will be keen to bounce back after a setback in their last outing, while Lucknow enter this clash with renewed confidence. Their thrilling 2-run win against the Rajasthan Royals was a testament to their grit, with Avesh Khan delivering a game-changing final over under pressure.
With the tournament heating up, both teams will be looking to capitalise on this fixture to solidify their playoff ambitions.
