Lucknow Super Giants have found their rhythm after a shaky start. Their last-ball heist against Kolkata saw impact player Ayush Badoni (54) and Mukul Chaudhary (54 off 27) pull off a historic chase. With Rishabh Pant leading a powerful middle order and Prince Yadav spearheading a fiery pace attack, LSG looks to make it three wins on the spin at their home fortress.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans have finally opened their account. Under Shubman Gill’s leadership, GT posted a massive 210 in their last game, with Gill (70) and Washington Sundar (55) in sublime touch. Rashid Khan remains their greatest weapon, having dismantled DC with figures of 3/17. With world-class pace from Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada, this Sunday afternoon clash in the heat of Lucknow promises to be a tactical masterclass between two rising rivals.
