The Super Giants picked up a great win over the Royal Challengers but lost two of their next three matches to end their hopes of hitting the playoffs.

Team News

Lucknow Super Giants: Mitchell Marsh has been a revelation with the bat and is chasing the Orange Cap, but there has been little support from the rest of the side with bat or ball.

Possible XI: Rishabh Pant (c), Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis, Nicholas Pooran, Abdul Samad, Ayush Badoni, Shahbaz Ahmed, Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, Akash Singh, Prince Yadav.

Punjab Kings: Despite losing six matches in a row the Kings batters and bowlers are individually in good form and should be confident of over-powering the Super Giants.

Possible XI: Shreyas Iyer (c), Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Suryansh Shedge, Shashank Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai, Harpreet Brar, Lockie Ferguson, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Key Stats

Lucknow Super Giants’ Mitchell Marsh is 4th on the IPL runs list (563 runs).
Lucknow Super Giants’ Josh Inglis has scored 85, 36 & 60 in his last 3 knocks.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Prince Yadav is 9th on the IPL wickets list (16 wickets).
Punjab Kings’ Cooper Connolly has hit 473 runs at a strike-rate of 162.4.
Punjab Kings’ Prabhsimran Singh has scored 5 half-centuries in 10 innings.
Punjab Kings’ Azmatullah Omarzai has taken 3/41, 3/15 & 2/36 in his last 5 matches.

Match Analysis

The last 10 matches at the Ekana Stadium have seen the side batting first winning, with an average score just under 170 in the first innings, but the side batting first will need to aim for a score around 200 to put pressure on the side chasing.

Evening temperatures in Lucknow are looking to top 39°C, with humidity in the region of 23%, which will put extra strain on the bowlers.

The track has tended towards the slower side this season, which has caused batters to battle to play strokes and time the ball with confidence. The big outfield has also impacted on sides’ ability to post larger totals as batters have been struggling to clear the boundary, especially with the ball holding up on the pitch.

The last match at the Ekana saw the Super Kings post a score of 187/5 off their 20 overs, hitting 16 sixes. The Super Giants raced to the win off 16.4 overs for the loss of just three wickets, hitting 13 sixes.
