LSG vs DC Key battles:
Mitchell Marsh vs Mitchell Starc
Mitchell Marsh, who has been the pick of the batters for LSG, will be up against Mitchell Starc when he takes the field against DC in the next game. Starc would like to put on a strong show with the ball after a disappointing performance in the last match against GT.
The battle between Marsh and Starc promises to be a mouth-watering contest as it will set the tone for LSG's batting lineup in the upcoming game against DC.
Nicholas Pooran vs Kuldeep Yadav
The leading run scorer in the ongoing IPL season will face the challenge of Kuldeep Yadav's wrist spin. The face-off between the two in-form players will be intriguing to watch, as both players have a reputation for not giving an inch on the field.
Karun Nair vs Avesh Khan
Avesh Khan, who bowled a match-winning last over against RR, will look to replicate the performance against DC. The fast bowler who is expected to take the new ball will bowl to Karun Nair, who will also be itching to get a big score after failing to do so in the last couple of matches.
KL Rahul vs Digvesh Singh Rathi
Digvesh Rathi, who has done a decent job for LSG in all phases of the innings, will be up against KL Rahul, who has accomplished the role of batting in the middle order for DC to the best of his abilities.
