As the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 approaches its climax, teams are fiercely competing to secure a spot in the top four and qualify for the playoffs. Today’s match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is crucial, with six teams—Rajasthan Royals (RR), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), LSG, and DC—still in the running to join Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2024 playoffs.
