The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will square off in the third match of the IPL 2023 on Saturday, April 1 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Both Lucknow and Delhi will be looking to get their championship campaigns off to a winning start.
Unfortunately, neither team will be able to present their first-choice full-strength playing XI for the upcoming match. Quinton de Kock will be missed by LSG, while Mustafizur Rahman, Anrich Nortje, and Lungi Ngidi will be unavailable for DC due to national obligations.
On paper, the KL Rahul-led side appears to be far more balanced and thus would be favoured to beat the relatively depleted Delhi Capitals. David Warner and company, on the other hand, still have many match-winners in their ranks and could give Lucknow a run for their money. As a result, an exciting encounter is on the horizon.

Feedback on Pitch: The surface at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium is slower, so batters will need to spend some time in the middle to adapt to the pace of the wicket. Nine T20Is have been played at the venue, with the batting team winning five of them. As a result, the team that wins the toss in the upcoming match may be inclined to establish a target.
