LSG vs DC Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 5, IPL 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 5 of the IPL 2026 between LSG vs DC to be played in Lucknow.

Get ready for another high-octane clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 as two teams searching for their maiden IPL title will face each other in Lucknow. Delhi Capitals (DC) will square off with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Wednesday at 7:30 PM IST at Ekana Stadium.

Rishabh Pant had a poor last season with LSG as captain and as a batter. But he, along with his team, will look to start well here. They have a destructive top four, which can tear apart any opposition.

The pace unit with Mayank Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Avesh Khan, and Mohammed Shami looks very solid, where everyone can bowl at 145 kmph consistently. Delhi Capitals will miss Mitchell Starc for a few matches.

But they have the likes of Lungi Ngidi and Kyle Jamieson, who are doing well. DC have Tristan Stubbs and David Miller in the middle order and KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka, and Prithvi Shaw at the top. So, they look pretty settled as well.
