The LSG vs DC, match 5 of IPL 2026, will take place on April 1.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will square off in their opening game of the Indian Premier League 2026. LSG will have the home advantage in the encounter, which will take place at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Led by Rishabh Pant, LSG will aim for a big comeback in IPL 2026. Last season, they failed to qualify for the playoffs. Winning just six games and losing eight out of 14, they ended in the seventh spot in the points table.
Lucknow Super Giants have suffered a big blow in their bowling department, as spinner Wanindu Hasaranga is yet to join the squad due to an injury. However, with the likes of Mayank Yadav, Mohammed Shami, and Mohsin Khan, they have a lethal pace unit.
On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals (DC) also failed to qualify for the playoffs last season. Axar Patel has been retained as the captain.
They will miss the services of pacer Mitchell Starc, who is set to miss the first half due to shoulder and elbow injuries. England batter Ben Duckett pulled out of the tournament to focus on international cricket.
Notably, LSG lost all their matches against DC in the last two seasons. Now, they will have to bank upon the home advantage to outplay Delhi this time.
