Updated At:
The rivarly between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow SuperGiants has been the most one-sided ones in recent times, where the Capitals are unbeaten against the SuperGiants since 2023 season.
While these two teams look to start their season strong at Ekana Stadium a venue that has become one of the most exciting batting venues in the IPL. The ground has large boundaries, but that has not stopped batters from scoring freely.
In recent matches here, twelve innings have gone past 170 runs, while only four innings have fallen short of that mark. The average first-innings score at this ground now sits at 192.75, which is exceptionally high by IPL standards.
In fact, no total below 200 has been successfully defended in the last eight matches at this venue, and the highest successful chase here was an impressive 228 runs by RCB against LSG.
Teams batting second have won six of the last eight matches played here, making this one of the most chase-friendly venues in the competition. Both captains will be very aware of that when they walk out for the toss.
LSG Record at Ekana Cricket Stadium
Lucknow Super Giants play their home matches at Ekana Stadium, but their record here has been far from convincing. They have won just 9 of their 21 matches at this ground, losing 11, with one match producing no result.
That is a below-par record for a team playing on their home turf, and it shows that LSG have not been able to make full use of the home advantage that most IPL teams enjoy.
Against Delhi Capitals specifically at this venue, the record is even more concerning for LSG. They trail DC by 1 win to 2, which means DC have beaten them here more often than not.
The most recent example came in IPL 2025, when Delhi Capitals beat Lucknow by 8 wickets at this ground. In that match, the LSG opening pair of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram put on an 87-run partnership, yet DC still chased the total down with ease.
Ekana Stadium is a ground that LSG know well, but the numbers suggest that familiarity alone has not been enough to give them a consistent edge at home.
| Played | Won | Lost | Tied | No Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | 9 | 11 | — | 1 |
DC Record at Ekana Cricket Stadium
Delhi Capitals have a very strong record when they travel to Ekana Stadium. In 6 matches at this ground, they have won 4 and lost just 2, giving them an impressive 66.7% win rate.
That is a remarkable record for an away side, and it shows that DC are one of the teams that have figured out how to play well in Lucknow. Importantly, Delhi Capitals are undefeated against LSG in the last two seasons, which makes their overall record at this venue even more impressive.
Their most recent visit in IPL 2025 was a particularly strong performance. DC's top order batted with real control and purpose in the powerplay, averaging 58 runs in the first six overs at this venue since 2023, before going on to chase down a target of 170 with 8 wickets in hand.
It was a calm and measured chase that showed exactly why Delhi Capitals are so dangerous at this venue.
Across their three head-to-head matches against LSG at Ekana, DC have won 2 and lost 1, further underlining that they are comfortable playing here and know how to get the job done away from home.
| Played | Won | Lost |

Batting First vs Chasing Record at Ekana Cricket Stadium
When you look at how LSG and DC have performed at Ekana Stadium based on whether they batted first or chased, a clear pattern emerges for both sides.
Chasing sides have won 75% of matches at this venue, with the average winning score for teams batting first sitting between 200 and 210 runs. The lowest score ever defended here is 204, meaning teams need to post a very big total to have any realistic chance of defending it.
When LSG have batted first at this venue, they have won 2 out of 3 matches, showing that they are capable of posting and defending big totals when given the chance to set the score.
However, they have lost to Delhi Capitals twice while batting first over the last two seasons, which takes some of the shine off that record.
When DC have chased at this venue, they have won 2 out of 3 matches, making them one of the most dangerous chasing sides in the IPL when playing at Ekana Stadium. Their ability to pace a run chase calmly and efficiently has been a key strength at this ground.
The powerplay will be a crucial phase in either scenario — LSG averaged 59 runs in the first six overs at this venue last season, while DC averaged 58 runs in the powerplay at Ekana since 2023.
With both teams scoring at a similar rate early on, the team that takes wickets first in the powerplay could gain a decisive edge. The toss result may therefore have a major say in how this match plays out, and the team that gets to play to their preferred role is likely to start as the stronger side.
| Scenario | LSG | DC | Total Matches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batting First | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| Chasing | 1 | 3 | 3 |
