David Warner-led Delhi Capitals will lock horns with the KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants in what will the first game of the season for both teams at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. After parting ways with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the previous season, David Warner will now lead the Delhi franchise in absence of permanent skipper Rishabh Pant. KL Rahul’s LSG will eye a winning start at their home ground after a disappointing season last year.
The pitch at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium is likely to support the bowlers. Recently, the India vs New Zealand T20I played at the venue was a low scoring thriller as the Kiwis were bowled out for just 99 runs in the first innings.
