The Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground is set to host Match 40 of IPL 2025, where the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face off against the Delhi Capitals (DC).

Led by Axar Patel, DC currently sit comfortably in second place on the points table, having suffered just two losses in their seven matches so far. In contrast, LSG have already faced three defeats and will be eager to stage a strong comeback to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Barring Nicholas Pooran, consistency has eluded the Lucknow batting lineup. Once again, the team will look to the in-form left-hander to anchor the innings and deliver a crucial knock.
