Lucknow Super Giants have managed to put up combined efforts so far but Devdutt Padikkal’s form is a cause of concern for them. The Super Giants will have to improve a bit in both departments of batting and bowling and they are good to go.
At the same time, Delhi Capitals are failing with the ball big time. In the last two matches, they have conceded over 500 runs on aggregate. They will have to improve massively to trouble the home team in this contest.
