Pitch Report
The match is set to happen at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The new stadium at Lucknow has been highly favorable for the bowlers. But due to the approach of the batters in modern times, it has witnessed balanced games. In the evening games, dew might be a factor, which makes it an even contest. Spinners will play a key role for the success of their teams.
Captains: 8.5
Harpreet Brar PBKS | bowl
Harpreet Brar has been bowling very well in the ongoing league. Against DC, he finished with figures of 1/14 in his three overs and followed up with a brilliant spell of 2/13 in his four overs against RCB. He can be trusted to do well in Lucknow.
Nicholas Pooran LSG | wk
Nicholas Pooran was the reason LSG stayed alive in the run chase against RR. Chasing 194, Pooran scored 64 runs in 41 balls. Given the home conditions, he will be important for LSG. On slow tracks, he can play a key role with the bat.
KL Rahul LSG | bat
KL Rahul was good in the first match with the bat. He scored 58(44) when the team suffered an early collapse. Even as a wicketkeeper, he claimed a couple of catches. For a fantasy team, he brings a lot of value as a player.
Liam Livingstone PBKS | ALL
Liam Livingstone can be handy both as a batter and as a bowler. In the game against DC, he finished well and helped PBKS to win. While Liam did not have a great game against RCB, he would be hoping to make an impact against LSG.
Sam Curran PBKS | ALL
Sam Curran won the match with the bat for PBKS against DC. Coming in at 42/2, the Southpaw anchored the chase well and scored 63 runs in 47 balls. The star All-Rounder would be hoping to make an impact with the ball against LSG.
Mohsin Khan-I LSG | bowl
Mohsin Khan is a highly skillful pacer. He has the slower ones, cutters, and seam movement at a good pace. In the IPL 2022, he was brilliant. Returning fit after so many injuries, the youngster would be hoping to make an impact with the ball.
Yash Thakur LSG | bat
Yash Thakur can nail Yorkers towards the fag end of the innings. Death bowlers are invaluable assets to the teams. Given the new rule of two bouncers per over rule, he can be good given his pace and ability to bowl deadly bouncers.
