IPL 2026: LSG vs DC, Match 5 at Ekana Stadium – Stats & player battles to watch

The Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) will continue to enthral fans as Delhi Capitals (DC) are all set to lock horns against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 5 of the tournament on Wednesday, April 1 at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Having missed out on the playoffs spot in the last edition by a whisker, Delhi will look to start the campaign on a high with a commanding win.

Delhi began last season in dominating fashion but lost their way in the middle, which cost them the spot in the final four. On the other hand, Lucknow will aim for a fresh start as well after enduring a season of two halves, much like Delhi. The Rishabh Pant-led side also had a good start, only for them to lose momentum and miss the playoffs in the latter half.

With both teams boasting several match-winners in their squads, the fixture is expected to live up to its hype and leave the fans thrilled.
