Team Preview
With their skipper S. Dhawan out due to injury, Punjab (currently 6th in standings) have relied on their domestic batters, such as P. Singh, A. Taide, and H. Bhatia. However, with the overseas players yet to dominate consistently, their batting is far from its lethal best. For Lucknow (currently 4th in the standings), the primary issue has been the inconsistent form of batters. K. Mayers has been out of form lately and could be replaced by Q. de Kock in the upcoming fixture.
Lucknow suffered a heart-wrenching defeat against Gujarat, squandering a dominant position in a low-scoring nail-biter. Conversely, Punjab displayed resilience in a high-scoring showdown against Mumbai, successfully holding their nerve to clinch victory.
