In Match No. 40 of the Tata IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants are all set to clash with the in-form Delhi Capitals at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday. As both teams aim to strengthen their playoff chances, cricket fans can catch all the action live and exclusive only on Winexch, the official platform for live streaming and updates for IPL 2025.
Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are enjoying a strong run of form this season. With five wins in eight matches, they currently sit in fifth place on the points table. The hosts have won four of their last five games, showing signs of good momentum as the tournament enters its crucial phase.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals (DC), under the captaincy of Axar Patel, have been a formidable unit this season. They are second on the IPL 2025 points table, with five wins from seven matches and a healthy Net Run Rate (NRR) of +0.589. Despite their high position, Delhi have been a bit inconsistent in recent outings. They suffered back-to-back defeats to Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, and needed a Super Over to edge past Rajasthan Royals in a thrilling tie. This recent dip in form could offer Lucknow an opening to capitalise in front of their home crowd.
As far as team strategies go, Delhi might consider including Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera, who has a good record against Nicholas Pooran, dismissing the explosive left-hander three times in four innings. Chameera is also familiar with the Lucknow pitch, having played here previously.
For LSG, the big question is around Mayank Yadav’s fitness. If he’s fully fit, he’s likely to make the playing XI, given his pace and wicket-taking ability. LSG will also rely heavily on the form of key players like Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, and captain Rishabh Pant, who has been in good touch with the bat this season.
