IPL 2022, Match 45 DC vs LSG, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants will be facing each other in the 45th match of IPL 2022, to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. While Delhi Capitals finished third after losing both their playoff matches last season, Lucknow Super Giants are playing their inaugural IPL season. In this season, DC has won four and lost four while LSG has won six and lost three. Both teams have played three games at the Wankhede Stadium this season, with both of them winning once and losing twice.

Delhi Capitals are having a roller-coaster campaign with alternate wins and losses in their last seven matches. Their opening batters Prithvi Shaw and David Warner are in remarkable form, and so is Rishabh Pant at number four. Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has taken 17 wickets, second-most for any player this season. Pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman have also bowled well for the team. However, Shardul Thakur has been woefully out of form.

Lucknow Super Giants have been strong in defending totals, with their last three victories coming while batting first. Along with an evergreen KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants also have Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda playing brilliant knocks for them. Dushmantha Chameera and Krunal Pandya have been outstanding with the ball.
