Live: DC Vs LSG, Match 3, Lucknow | IPL Live Scores & Commentary | IPL LIVE 2023 | Only in India PREVIEW: Mitchell Marsh’s batting will be Delhi Capitals’ big strength as they brace up for matches without Rishabh Pant while starting their Indian Premier League campaign against Lucknow Super Giants, on Saturday. LSG, who will be playing at home for the first time, is an equally competitive team if not more. Warner is a great in IPL and one of the league’s most influential players but his runs have been missing for sometime. But the bigger point is whether Rahul, in his current form, be able to score against a good bowling lineup? How much will Kyle Mayers be able to compensate for Quinton de Kock, who is also not unavailable due to national commitments. In terms of ‘Impact Player’, Lucknow does have more variety, with someone like Amit Mishra, who could be used against Marsh or Powell. Mishra still has enough skills to stop batters on their tracks. For DC, Ponting is probably thinking using Mumbai’s Aman Khan as an ‘Impact Player’, having seen him at the nets. But how LSG’s tournament pans out will depend on how the Indian trio of Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni and Deepak Hooda perform as Nicholas Pooran is known to score on numerous occasions. For KL Rahul, it will no just be about volume of runs scored but also about the kind of intent he is showing along with the consistency in strike-rate, where it is not just about making up for lost deliveries towards end of the innings.
