Lucknow Super Giants form
Following consecutive victories over the 2023 IPL Champions, Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants suffered a defeat in their recent match when they failed to defend a target of 197 against Rajasthan Royals.
At the halfway mark, the majority of analysts favoured LSG with captain KL Rahul, smashing an impressive 76 runs off 48 balls, supported by Deepak Hooda's brisk 50 off 31 balls.
Nevertheless, their bowling unit must display greater penetration in the upcoming match. They have only claimed three wickets against Rajasthan Royals in the previous game. Ravi Bishnoi will be introduced into the attack earlier than in the previous game. He was given the ball in the 15th over of the match. LSG needs to make some quick and tough decisions to be ahead in the game.
