In the fourth game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025), Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be locking horns against each other. The game is scheduled to be played at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Monday (March 24).
Both DC and LSG will be looking to start their campaign on a winning note and make amends for their poor season last year. Both the teams missed out on the playoffs because of their net run-rate.
In fact, it was DC who denied LSG a spot in the playoffs by beating them in their final league game. In the end, both the teams finished their campaign with seven wins. They will be keen to turn things around this season and make the cut at least for the playoffs.
