DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2026: Toss & Playing XIs From Lucknow

Axar Patel, DC captain, wins the toss and opts to bowl first.

Axar Patel - We will bowl first. First match, fresh wicket, it's a red solid wicket and might help in the first 6 overs. Data says a lot of matches are won by the team batting first, but we thought it's the first game and we will bowl. We started well last time, but we slipped in the middle, we're not thinking too far ahead. Nissanka, Miller, Stubbs and Lungi Ngidi, our four overseas players.

Rishabh Pant - It doesn't matter on a wicket like this, it won't change a lot as I don't think dew will come. It's completely new - we've changed our colour and logo. No negative thoughts, we're feeling good and raring to go. Last season there were injury concerns, but as a captain you can't dwell on them too much. Everyone is fit this time around. Markram,. Marsh, Nicholas Pooran and Anrich Nortje are our four overseas players.

DC vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2026: Pitch Report

This is game number 5 in the IPL and we're in Lucknow. The square boundaries are longer and there's a bias today. 56m and 64m square boundaries while the straight boundary is at 77m. I did the game in Bangalore and Mumbai (says Kevin Pietersen), what we saw there were great wickets with a lot of grass. In Mumbai, there was more grass than expected. Here, it's a beautiful wicket, which means you want to chase. It becomes difficult to set a total without knowing how much is enough. It's a red soil surface and the pitches were relaid during the 2023 World Cup. Before the WC, the scoring rate was around 7 rpo, now, it is up to 9. It's a good surface for batting, offering good carry and bounce, last season, the team batting second won six of the eight games played here. So win the toss and chase.
