Both sides have had contrasting starts to their seasons. LSG lost their opening fixture against Rajasthan Royals, but have won three on the bounce since then, all by 20 runs or more. The emergence of Mayank Yadav and the form of Krunal Pandya have been big positives for them.
DC have won just one match this season, their third game which was against defending champions Chennai Super Kings. Their bowling has been a massive worry, as they have conceded 170+ in every single game, including 272 against KKR and 234 against MI in their last two matches.
In this article, The Sporting News provides all the fantasy tips ahead of the LSG vs DC clash.

Top fantasy picks and tips for LSG vs DC
Batter: Tristan Stubbs
One of the few bright spots this season for DC has been the form of South African batter Tristan Stubbs. Coming in after he was released by MI, he has played some outstanding knocks, unfortunately in losing causes. Despite two single-digit scores, he has scored at a strike rate of 193 so far and looks set to continue his good run.
Bowler: Yash Thakur
This season, the story around LSG's bowling has undoubtedly been the emergence of Delhi fast bowler Mayank Yadav. However, Yash Thakur stepped up against GT to remind everyone of his own credentials, with a five-wicket haul. He could be dangerous for an undercooked DC batting lineup.
All-rounder: Krunal Pandya
Krunal Pandya was released by Mumbai Indians in 2022, and since then has made a real impact at LSG. A rare profile who provides all-round value even after the introduction of the impact player rule, he can be a handful with both bat and ball especially at the Ekana Stadium.
Wicketkeeper: Nicholas Pooran
He may not be donning the keeping gloves for LSG, but West Indian left-hander Nicholas Pooran provides immense value with the bat alone. As the side's designated finisher, he is capable of taking bowling attacks to the cleaners in the slog overs. With knocks of 64*(41), 42(21), 40*(21) and 32*(22) so far, expect more fireworks on Friday.
