DC vs LSG: Top Batters Predictions
Jake Fraser-McGurk (DC): The Aussie opener was unlucky to get out in the twenties against RCB. He has been in terrific form with the bat and has often lit up the stage with boundaries by assaulting the opposition inside the powerplay. He has bashed 330 runs from eight innings at an impressive average of 41.25 and a strike rate of 237.41.
KL Rahul (LSG): The skipper of the side is their most consistent performer with the willow. Rahul has notched up 460 runs from twelve innings at an average of 38.33 this year. Despite a few exceptions, he has also looked attacking during his batting phase, striking the ball at 136.09.
DC vs LSG: Top Bowler Predictions
Khaleel Ahmed (DC): The left-arm quick has been sensational with the new ball and his angle has often rewarded the team with early wickets. Khaleel has bagged 16 wickets so far and has performed well during the slog overs as well.
Mukesh Kumar (DC): Yet another Capitals bowler who has gone unnoticed but did his job quietly is Bengal pacer Mukesh Kumar. He has scalped 16 wickets from nine matches with a bowling average of 20.94. Mukesh has been outstanding during the slog overs but has been under-utilized at times.
DC vs LSG: Winner Predictions
The Capitals will be looking to bounce back with a one-sided triumph as their chances of qualification are quite slim after the loss against RCB. Meanwhile, LSG is a tough team on their best day and a win will strengthen their playoff chances. However, the Capitals are well poised and should come on the top.
DC vs LSG: Predictions
When referred to parimatch, an aggregate total of 386.5 (1.85) should be attained due to the batting haven nature of the pitch this year. The Dc pace attack has the knack of picking wickets and getting early breakthroughs with the new ball, hence DC should have a better opening stand (1.87). Also, it could be possible to see a batter pile up over 79.5 (1.85) due to the batting-friendly nature of the pitch.
