The 40th match of the ongoing 2025 (IPL) between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will take place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. While LSG have had a decent campaign so far, their strong home record could give them an edge in this contest. On the other hand, DC, one of the favourites this season, will be looking to maintain their momentum.

Looking at LSG's journey in the ongoing season, they’ve played eight matches, winning five and losing three, with defeats to DC, PBKS, and CSK. Currently sitting in 5th place on the points table, LSG will aim to leverage their home advantage to climb up the standings.

DC, however, are the strongest side of the season so far, having played seven matches, winning five and losing only two. Their last loss came against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, where they failed to defend a target of 204. DC will be eager to correct their mistakes from that match and bounce back strongly in this game. With a win, DC have a good chance to move to the top of the table, but they will need KKR’s result against Gujarat Titans to go their way.
