We pick five First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Delhi-Lucknow match.
D Warner vs K L Rahul
David Warner has made 257 runs at a strike rate of 168 since scoring just four runs in his first match of the 2022 season. He made 136 runs in three outings, including a half-century, at Wankhede Stadium. Lucknow skipper K L Rahul was dismissed in the powerplay on Friday. The opening batter struck a wonderful century against Mumbai at Wankhede Stadium last week.
Verdict: K L Rahul is likely to win this Match-Up
P Shaw vs Q de Kock
Prithvi Shaw registered his first single-digit score after being dismissed for a duck against Kolkata. The 22-year-old has scored an average of 47 fantasy points per match in the ongoing season. Wicket-keeper batter Quinton de Kock was the top scorer for Lucknow in their victory against Punjab. He racked up 113 fantasy points in the first meeting between both teams this season.
Verdict: Q de Kock has the advantage over P Shaw
Kuldeep Y vs K Pandya
The second-leading wicket-taker, Kuldeep Yadav, meets Krunal Pandya, who has picked up more than 80+ points in each of Lucknow's last three matches. Both players have picked up plenty of wickets in their previous outings at Wankhede Stadium. The Delhi spinner needs just one wicket to reach his best-ever tally in a single Indian T20 League season.
Verdict: Kuldeep Y could pick up more fantasy points than K Pandya
L Yadav vs D Chameera
Dushmantha Chameera played a crucial role in the victory over Punjab. The Sri Lankan all-rounder, who made three 50+ fantasy points this season, made 17 runs and grabbed two wickets in Lucknow's last game. Lalit Yadav, on the other hand, scored 60 runs in three matches at Wankhede Stadium.
Verdict: D Chameera is likely to clinch yet another Match-Up
A Patel vs J Holder
Axar Patel collected a second 50+ fantasy points in as many three games as he picked up a wicket and made a quickfire 24 against Kolkata. He will lock horns with Jason Holder, who had a disappointing outing the last time around. The all-rounder made 11 runs and bowled only an over against Punjab.
Verdict: A Patel could triumph against J Holder
