IPL 2026: LSG vs DC Playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming

Both LSG and DC had almost similar fates in the last edition, as they got off to a brilliant start but a steep downfall in form in the latter half saw them finish outside the top four in the points ta

The first set of matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 will be concluded today, with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) hosting Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 5 of the season at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. DC skipper Axar Patel won the toss for the match and invited Rishab Pant-led LSG to bat first.

 

Both LSG and DC had almost similar fates in the last edition. Delhi won five of their first six games but could only register two wins in their next eight matches and were knocked out of the playoffs race. Almost similarly, Lucknow won four of their first games before losing six of their next matches to finish in the seventh spot in the points table.  IPL 2026 Match 5, LSG vs DC: LIVE SCORE | FULL SCORECARD | PLAYING 11 | LIVE STREAMING

 

Fast forward to 2026, both teams will not only be looking to kick-start their new season in the same fashion but will hope to continue the momentum in the latter half of the tournament too.

 

In terms of team combination, LSG will once again be banking on their star trio of Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran in batting, but their bowling still looks subpar on paper. On top of that, the form of skipper Rishabh Pant will also be a point of concern for them.

 

On the other hand, DC have a slightly more settled squad with a good core of Indian players in the mix. The absence of Mitchell Starc will be a concern for their powerplay bowling, but the Delhi-based franchise have enough firepower to cover that spot until the Australian pacer returns.
