Delhi Capitals vs LSG: IPL betting tips and predictions
Both Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants know they need results to go their way if they want to make the play-offs in this season’s IPL, but it is the away team who are in the better position going into their penultimate game.
The Capitals are facing their final league match and need a win and other results to go in their favour, while LSG need to win both of their games but also a sizeable swing in net run-rate if they wish to progress - so could this turn into something of a dead rubber?

Delhi Capitals vs LSG Tips and Predictions
Jake Fraser-McGurk and KL Rahul to score 30+ runs each
There is some mystery over whether Rahul has travelled with the squad or not and will be available to play today. The LSG captain was seen being given a very public dressing down by the franchise owner following the hammering by Sunrisers, and it was reported that he did not travel with the squad to Delhi ahead of the game amid rumours of a rift in camp.
However he is still expected to join up in time to play, and as a big player with a lot to prove we think he will reply in the way he knows best - by going big with the bat.
Fraser-McGurk has been one of the stories of the IPL. He has well and truly broken through and looks like one of the stars of tomorrow, and with 330 runs at an average of over 41 he has done it consistently even while striking at an eye-watering 237 in his eight matches.
Kuldeep Yadav to take 2+ wickets
Kuldeep will have fond memories of this meeting from earlier in the season, when he took 3-20 and ripped through the LSG top order with the key wickets of Rahul, Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran.
He has taken three wickets in his last two matches having gone wicketless in the previous two games, but with LSG itching to make a point following their turgid display against Sunrisers they could come unstuck against his mystery spin.
