DC vs LSG, Wankhede Stadium. Spinners will be game-changers in this game because it is a day game. Delhi Capitals have plenty of spin options, while Lucknow Super Giants have only Krunal Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi as proper spinners. Deepak Hooda may get a couple of overs against left-handers. It will be interesting to see how the middle-order of both teams performs.

Despite an economical spell from Chetan Sakariya in the last game, Khaleel Ahmed is likely to make his comeback to the team. DC's main target will be KL Rahul and for that Khaleel and Mustafizur will bowl in the powerplay with all the swing they can get from the pitch. Lalit and Axar will come handy against bunch of right-handers of LSG.

KL has great venue records but played below venue average against DC. If the top order is dismissed early, middle-order of LSG does not look good enough. Similar case for DC too. Both the teams have all-rounder batters in the middle order.

Battle to watch in this game is David Warner against Ravi Bishnoi who dismissed him three times! Krunal Pandya will play same role as Axar and Lalit. He is well experienced on this venue, which will help LSG a lot.
