Harshal Patel and Simranjeet Singh shared four wickets together, with two wickets each in their pocket. They are set to face a weakened LSG at their home, they would look to continue their winning form. Lucknow Super Giants Lucknow Super Giants had an average tournament last year, and they started this season on a disappointing losing note. They lost their opening match against Delhi Capitals by 1 wicket in a thriller. Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, they had a brilliant outing in batting, where Nicholas Pooran smashed a brilliant fifty and helped his team to post 208 on the board, but Delhi Capitals had another plan in their mind. Ashutosh Sharma, the raw talent find from the IPL 2024, pulled off a miraculous victory from the jaws of defeat. However, their bowling looked good but they still need to work hard when their main pacers are expected to remain out from the squad.
