Delhi will still need two more wins and some encouraging results from other games to secure qualification, but their recent form has shown significant signs of improvement; beating Rajasthan Royals and drawing with Mumbai Indians have provided them with confidence ahead of their meeting with LSG in what could be an important encounter.
LSG were outplayed by Delhi as they lost five wickets within 10 overs in their pursuit of 210 runs, though Abdul Samad and David Miller contributed well; unfortunately the visitors could not match their earlier form and ended up scoring only 159 runs total.
The match will take place on a dry, red-soil pitch similar to that used for LSG-Punjab Kings on April 19.
