The Lucknow Super Giants will begin their IPL 2026 campaign by facing the Delhi Capitals in the fifth match of the season at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 1. Lucknow Super Giants qualified for the playoffs in their first two seasons but have struggled since then. This season, they have retained their core group and will be eager to return to the playoffs after missing out twice. LSG appear to be a top-heavy side, with a strong top order comprising Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, and Rishabh Pant.
On the other hand, the Capitals had a strong start to the IPL 2025 season under captain Axar Patel, winning six of their first eight matches. However, they suffered a significant dip in form afterwards, managing just one win in their next six games. They will be aiming for another strong start this season and, this time, will look to maintain their momentum throughout the tournament.
