DC will play LSG in the 64th match of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and will start at 7:30 PM IST on May 14th.
Delhi Capitals suffered a big defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore by 47 runs. The defeat has made their playoff qualification extremely difficult. The team now need to win the final game at all cost and also hope that SRH and CSK do not win any more games. The team played well to keep their hopes alive but they were totally off colour against RCB as they failed to chase 188 and were bowled out for a mere 140.
Meanwhile, LSG have lost their last two games by 98 runs and 10 wickets respectively. For LSG to qualify, they need to win the final two games as a defeat will put their campaign in jeopardy. The batting has let the team down and the likes of KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran need to be at peak prowess for LSG to make a turnaround.

- Rishabh Pant – Rishabh Pant would want to make an impact in this must win game for DC. Pant has blown hot and cold but in a do or die situation for his team, Pant needs to be at his best. The DC captain has scored 413 runs in 12 games so far.
- Kuldeep Yadav – Kuldeep Yadav had an off day against RCB but the spinner has been brilliant this season, taking 15 crucial wickets. His four overs could well decide the fate of the contest.
- Axar Patel – Axar Patel scored a brisk 57 against RCB. He is a valuable addition to the team who more often than not makes valuable contributions. He has scored 221 runs and taken 10 wickets in IPL 2024.

Praveen Dubey, Sumit Kumar, David Warner, Ricky Bhui, Vicky Ostwal

LSG Team News
This is a must win game for LSG and the team can’t afford too many changes to the playing XI. They should stick to the same playing XI and hope that players come good against the in-form DC.
LSG Key Players
- KL Rahul – KL Rahul was blasted for his slow knock of 29 in 33 balls in last game against SRH and he needs to make a strong comeback. Rahul has had a decent tournament and with a playoff berth at stake, it might get the best out of the LSG captain. Overall, he has scored 460 runs this season.
- Nicholas Pooran – Nicholas Pooran has been the best LSG batter this season. Pooran has come late in order and helped LSG get crucial runs. With 363 runs at a strike rate of 162, Pooran has been magnificent for LSG.
- Marcus Stoinis – Marcus Stoinis has blown hot and cold but on his day, he is a match winner, both with bat and ball. The surface in Delhi is tailor-made for high scoring games thus Stoinis will have to play a massive role if LSG have to pull off a big win.
- Yash Thakur – Yash Thakur’s numbers this IPL show 11 wickets in 10 games at an economy of over 11. These are not impressive stats but we can tell you he has bowled much better than what the numbers show. He has been impressive in death overs and picked wickets at crucial junctures of the matches.
LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Yudhvir Singh, M Siddharth, Amit Mishra, Devdutt Padikkal, Ashton Turner
Leg spinners have done well in IPL 2024 so LSG will be tempted to play Amit Mishra. In case there is a need for a batter, they can give Devdutt Padikkal another shot.
